Great point, and this is actually one of the draws for the hi-def formats for me. Absolutely every film released in either format has been in the original aspect ratio, including a number of films (some of Kubrick's in particular) that haven't been available that way since they were in theatres. It's very depressing to see half the new release DVDs at Blockbuster in "Full Screen". I think they should place a (skippable) clip explaining the difference into all new DVD releases along with the trailers (maybe using that famous Ben Hur chariot race footage) to educate the masses as to what they're missing with pan'n'scan.
