Spider-man 3 - only available in Scope widescreen

[dobyblue]

Now this is what I like to see!




Down with Full Screen.

[Zaphod]

YES! Full screen is the devil!

[Blu As Hell]

This thread is going to go on forever, and I'm not going to get involved with the fire fight that is about to commence.

BTW....OAR all the way!!!!! I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

[KenO]

My wide screen is the full screen.

You have a TV with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio?

[Mr. Joshua]

Sure would have been nice if all the movies were in the same aspect ratio of 2.40:1 or 1.85:1 Spidy 1 is 1.85:1 Spidy 2 & 3 are 2.40:1....

The only full screen movies we have were bought on accident by someone else as a gift. This really won't effect me since I will be getting the BD anyways, but cool knews.

On many titles... not this one. But the Full Screen version never takes the full screen.

[BStecke]

Even though I'll be buying the box set, this is great news. Maybe they're trying to get people used to widescreen and move them into Blu-ray?

[blurayforever143]

No one is goign to complain about this one...you're all talking about pan and scan...

The full screen that gets debated about is the 16:9 full screen cropping done on cable....not really the same thing as 4:3

[jubaiweaponx]

its nice to see ,I`ll take it

[MOONPHASE]

I make all of my anamorphic widescreen movies to play in full screen so this is disappointing news besides not everyone has a widescreen tv like we do

[WickyWoo]

I'm very curious how they got away with this to be honest

P&S version always sells well at least the first month

Maybe they figured they'd cut the costs? Or maybe the Sam Rami didn't approve one for some reason. If I remember right, parts of Pearl Harbor on VHS were still in widescreen (acording to the box, I've never actually seen Pearl Harbor on VHS for many, many reasons).

[Alex Pallas]

wow, sweet move by sony. the more people get used to widescreen the better. who knows, maybe sony will even sell a few more widescreen tvs as a result.

[Slackr89]

thats awesome, i always get mad at my friend for buying fullscreen movie. fullscreen sucks, end of story

Bay got a compromise, that they'd put out the wide and the 16:9 version, but not a full chop n crop.

But there are a lot of stores like Wal-Mart that DEMAND a P&S version, especially for a movie like this, so there's got to be an interesting story here
