It really is, Sammy, but unfortunately, too many people are addicted to the format, and I think there would be a greater chance of phasing it out if it was simply...provided as an option for a while and then pulled completely, rather than continuing to have full and widescreen versions of so many films. I went in to buy The Last Samurai used at my video store the other day, and after I picked up one of the widescreen boxes that had the buy it sticker on it, I had to go on a wild search for a widescreen disc to go with it, since all the widescreen boxes had fullscreen copies of the movies beneath them. A nuisance, but I did get widescreen, and wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't have found it.

Wal-Mart really pisses me off, though. After the first few weeks of a title's release, the widescreen version disappears entirely from the store, and fullscreen is all that's left. Such crap.
