In respone to roger,
I like p&s even though i understand the widescreen issue. If the movie is any good a p&s version will actually be more enjoyable to me. Reason is that letterboxing really annoys me, i tend to be distracted (specially in light scenes) by the black bars, even if the movie is good. With P&S i enjoy full screen, and i do not miss the lost info, as you cannot miss what you do not see. :) I would buy a 16:9 screen (I live in Holland they are plenty and affordable here) but 90% of tv broadcast and tv movies are 4:3 and p&s. And dvd disks are still too expensive for me to replace the broadcast p&s movies. (dvd here are about 25-30 us equivalent)
Have a good 2000!
