Netflix and a lot of online DVD retail websites carry only full screen DVD’s out of about 20 to 25 different Columbia / Tri-Star / Sony titles. However Netflix and all the online retailers still have the old widescreen versions tech-specs on display. This is particularly disturbing because the information on the back cover is incorrect! So are the sound format on Netflix 90% of the sound formats are almost always incorrect. If the DVD has 5.1 sound it is most likely listed as having stereo or mono. If the DVD lists stereo or mono tech specs it usually has 5.1. This is particularly irritating to discriminating viewers, the average “Joe Consumer” has a negative integer IQ. SO they wouldn't know the difference to even speak up, and demand more. When Warner Brothers released the original Willy Wonka special edition, it was only available in full screen needless to say 3 months later outrageous fans let them know that no one is going to buy their piece of shit! Angry fan’s sent a bunch of letters basically saying no original aspect ratio, no sale! A year and a half or so later they re-released them only full screen and less bullshit. No longer digitally re-mastered anamorphic, it’s flat and square.
