Dead Wrong. But as noted the Full Screen Edition is so marked and also uses a banner. So exactly what are you trying to distinguish the WS FROM, that distinction ALREADY exists. Which is probably why Lucasfimm didn't deem it necessary to do it on the WS packaging themselves..

There is absolutely nothing to distinguish from. Since Lucasfilm did not  a banner with Widescreen Edition was necessary since they released it on that way on FF version, why do you feel it is necessary to create a fictional Edition that the Distributor did not? This is a simple concept and has been stated several times by myself and others...I don't understand what you aren't understanding. I mean if you really feel you need this then do it locally, but don't invent non-existent data.

You are getting hung up on the word 'edition'.  Based on the rules, the field isn't only for listing the edition.  I is also for listing that which will distinguish one release from another.  As long as it does that, what do we care what LucasFilm decided to put on the cover?

I'm glad to say that my collection goes all the way back to 1919...

Mine to 1922 (Nosferatu. Eine Symphonie des Grauens), but that one is on VHS 

Hello EnryWiki,
It's available on dvd! Have a look HERE!

Yes, if they sell them, there must be someone buying them. 
After all, it's DVD Profiler, not Widescreen Profiler

I could be proved wrong but I haven't seen any full screen dvds for modern films on sale in the UK for more than a year. So I think all the FS dvds are just for the American market.

FS is getting rarer and rarer.  Where I work, we get very few FS movies, even when they are being made.  For the newest Harry Potter, for example, we got about 50 or so 2-disc editions, 15 or so WS only and about 5 FS editions.  We've also received replenishment for the WS only, but the FS, once the initial batch is sold, probably won't be.  And I live in a fairly rural area where most people still think that widescreen "cuts off" part of the picture...after all, why else would you have the black bars?  lol...  But I could easily see FS disappearing fairly soon from the American market as well, if it has already disappeared from the UK.

As it gets harder and harder for someone to buy a 4x3 TV there will be less demand for 'FullScreen' versions of DVDs. Major stores like Best Buy no longer sell them, so as the old ones die we here in the US will move to 16x9 for all of our media.

Most of the bigger LCD displays for computers are now 16x10. I don't think that you can find a 4x3 LCD display that is bigger than 19", but there are lots of 20", 22" and 24" widescreens on sale these days.
