I agree completely, but I greatly prefer widescreen to what
is falsely called “fullscreen”. Today the only TVs you can buy
are widescreen. Playing a FS movie gives you either short,
fat people or black bars on the sides. Hence, “fullscreen”
is not really full-screen. At the very least, they should be
able to tell you which version you are getting. This is
enough to put me off Redbox altogether.

I rented the new Mummy movie today. Much to my annoyance, it is a full screen version not the widescreen one. It isn’t a dual sided disk, just a single sided full screen version. Are all of them full screen?

Just rented Mamma Mia and The Mummy Dragon Emperor from Redbox in Walmart here at Winston Salem, NC. I was also informed that The House Bunny might come out this Friday despite what the sign indicated as 12/23/08 Release….so I will check with my local Redbox tomorrow.

I hope they get some copies of the Amazon.com exclusive “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”. It is fantastic.

I called Redbox about getting the full screen version of the Mummy 3, instead of the wide screen version i would have liked to have, and they said, “you get what the machine spits out”. I think that is a flaw with Redbox. I think there should an option to specify what format you want, BEFORE the disc actually dispenses. Not a real big deal, I know, but it would be nice.
