Re: there are no anamorphic discs

Yes, I'm aware and I wasn't very clear in my post. I understand the studio's aspect ratio inconsistencies (choices) and the intended OAR, but I'm over the "black bars top and bottom". The point is that they don't HAVE to be there (as you know there are many disc's that have ratio's to fill our 16x9 set) I can't remember which of the many. Plus today's TV's are larger than ever in our history and they're not being utilized as we expect. Why would you own a 60 or 70 inch to have a portion of the picture shown? Sorry, Just a personal rant :). Back when I owned a laserdisc player, I accepted the widscreen format on my 4:3 set, but that was almost 20 years ago (no I'm not a pan and scan guy nor do I own "full screen" dvd's but I do enjoy when a disc fills my 60" SXRD/XBR2 screen). As for the PS3 I'm are you sure that the drives are different in each?? I'm not a huge proponent of an "all in one" unit, I prefer dedicated equipment. Thanks for your input however.
