The "pan and scan has more resolution in the square box than the letterbox has in that same square box" defense is sometimes true. I said this of the DVDs- that the P&S versions had ~3 times the number of pixels for the space... except someone who knew told me that the P&S version was a blow-up of the Widescreen, so that extra resolution was all garbage anyways.

Oh, and if we could only get these '92 P&S VHS versions, I would like to upscale them to BD and make them 3D. Who wants to help me?!?!
