Umm, I would certainly hope it is.
You do need a pretty big screen to see a really significant difference, I'll give them that. Toshiba definitely thought ahead by throwing in anamorphic widescreen. But then again NTSC is still NTSC and PAL is still PAL.
My point with all this is, it will be hard to get everyone to buy the movies YET AGAIN without throwing in the OOT remastered. Even with a widescreen tv, you're going to need a lot of incentive to rebuy something on blu-ray thanks to the future-proofness of the dvd transfer of the same movie that you already have.

I thought NTSC and PAL were essentially obsolete with the advent of LCD TVs, digital signals, ATSC tuners, and HDTV? My 50" HDTV CRT TV and Cyberhome DVD player don't seem to care about PAL anyway.
