Columbia has been quietly removing the widescreen version of several films that previously contained both P&S and WS. They were usually flippers, and are now one-sided P&S only. These tend to be titles reduced to about $10 retail, which is still $10 too much.
I'm beginning to think Canada got all the WS/FS versions of SpiceWorld. My local Walmart had a tonne of them during their boxing day blowout, which up here lasts for about three weeks. They we're $6.88 Canadian and I'm afraid I must admit I bought one. Oh, the shame. I actually thought this film might age better than it has. Perhaps I'll look at it again in ten years and see.
My last visit to Wal-mart drove me nuts. So many DVD's that were nice priced that I wanted. All of them were foolscreen. The only widescreen titles they had were Widescreen releases only.
2 DVDs for 11 bucks is a steal! I wish I could find some good ones. I got Rambo 2 and 3 from there once. But fullscreen is so 'popular' amongst families. It's too bad!!
There it is - your official Inevitable First Threadcrap! Frankly, I'm shocked this thread made it to seven posts before this happened, but I still thought I should commemorate the event...
