This is so sad 
. I guess Wal-Mart is catering to the "joe six pack" crowds by doing this. Why noy cater to both widescreen and pan/scan people? Is that too much for them to do? Did yoy see the current Wal-Mart promotional ad for for A.I? It is pan/scan! Yuck! Thank Goodness I do not get that many DVD's from them as my local Wal-Mart's DVD selection is pretty pathetic!

Politely make sure that you let the manager of the store or at least the department know that you will not buy pan and scan titles and will spend your money elsewhere. While they may not be able to make the decision to correct this poor judgment, they will pass it along if they hear this enough.

Aren't these the titles that are going out-of-print in favor of single-disc (but still widesceeen) versions? If this is the case, then Walmart may still stock the widescreen signle-disc version.

Wal-Mart managers are like the Yeti, Bigfoot, and Loch Ness Monster. Their existence has yet to be confirmed by science.

Slightly off topic
Not all Wal Mart clerks just cater to the Joe Six Pack crowd. When I first got my DVD player, I had no idea that pan and scams were sold separately from widescreen releases. I had always thought you had both formats on the same disc no matter what. So I got the Mummy for a Christmas present, open it up and pop it in, and much to my dismay, I discover it's pan and scam.
I immediately took it to Wal Mart and asked if I could exchange it for a widescreen version. Incedibly, I got NO STATIC. No questions asked. The clerk actually understood my delimma. But, sadly, those clerks are rare and far between all the ones who just don't get widescreen.
