I have had this argument with many people. they think that if they watch widescreen they are losing something; I try to explain that "full screen" they lose something. some get it, some don't.
They had widescreen VHS also, but they didn't sell as well. Most DVD's have widescreen, since the figure people buying DVD are videophiles - but this is changing.
Of course, you could always buy a TV with a 16:9 aspect ration too :-)
And while off topic, if you just bought a DVD player (and it is still returnable), make sure you got one that will read VCD's, or even better, SVCD's.
