I think Widescreen insceases the quality of the movie. I have no idea why =|

Depends. For Emulation, I don't like the PSP because it uses widescreen and to get it to any lookable size I have to fit it to the screen and it makes it look like garbage. For video, hellz yeah I love widescreen!

It doesn't. The reason you think so is because movies are often done in widescreen format, and if they're put onto fullscreen, they get scrunched up and have strange dimensions, so they look ugly as hell.

I love widescreen though. But I still need a fullscreen around just in case.

Have to agree on this point. Widescreen is awesome. But alot of things are still meant for fullscreen, so it's nice to have one around.

Widescreen causes the edges of movie to become cut off.

Widescreen...Full is screen is crap and you can't even put on subtitles without ruining the movie...

Hurray for widescreen! It is so much better than fullscreen. The little black bars say "quality!" Haha... Well you just get the whole movie with widescreen. I would hate to miss so much of each scene in a good movie.

Yes, the problem with fullscreen is the lack of choice. Someone sits there and uses pan and scan to decide which parts of the picture you should see. If you want to, you can get a widescreen DVD and use the Zoom function to achieve the same effect.
