Blockbuster Responds!
The rental giant has listened to the DVD community's outcry and will begin stocking widescreen DVDs!
2002-01-12

An IGN DVD reader emailed us right before publish tonight with an MP3 attached to their email. The file was a recording of an answering machine message from Blockbuster video about the whole widescreen issue.

I will not post the MP3 here because it contains a phone number of a Blockbuster rep and I don't want to deluge him with countless calls, but here is a transcript of the call:

"...after complaints concerning the fact that we do not carry widescreen DVDs in our stores and I am calling to let you know that we will be changing that policy.

Going forward with the February buy, we will make every effort to buy the widescreen version in addition to pan & scan versions on all DVDs that are released that we are actually buying. "

繼「貓狗大戰」寬螢幕版之後，這些團結的DVD迷們再一次獲得尊重（勝利），之前他們向「百視達」出租店要求提供「寬螢幕」版DVD出租已經獲得肯定的答案，為這些DVD迷們拍拍手吧！

團結的DVD迷們加上肯聽消費者心聲的廠商，獲得雙贏的結果。（百視達繼續賺出租費，影迷們租的開心）
