Why Is Walmart Afraid Of Widescreen DVDs?
Do they order the full-screen (pan-n-scan) versions ON PURPOSE?

3. Because they're assholes patronized by conservative philistines
One of my favorite things I heard when I managed a video store was "I hate letterboxing! I can't see as much of the movie!" They are the typical Walmart customers.

4. They think of their customer base and go for the highest dollar "yield".
Widescreen is not popular with the masses.
