I have a SOny WEGA 28" widescreen. In normal 4:3 mode the borders are huge - but I put it on Zoom mode, which cuts them off... so it's not a major issue for me.

I have a Philips ?? TV that has a stretch facility on it, so the borders aren't really an issue for me, however - even without this facility on, the borders don't really bother me. It doesn't affect thre playability at all.

I've not played DMC but on Onimusha they weren't at all noticable for me until I read about them in PSM2. And my T.V is a 14 inch one; but on my familys big one they were still not noticable.

I've got a 14 inch normal Tv with a really high resolution, which is surprising. I am finding it increasingly annoying how fewer and fewer DVDs support letterbox mode, because I hate having squished up displays. Grrrrr. Yes, I want those big black borders on my DVDs.

DMC doesn't have blocky borders. I've played it through right to the end without any notice of a bad conversion. Trust me, it doesn't ruin the game in the slightest if there are borders (I didn't notice)

I have a 28" widescreen TV and you really DO NOT notice the borders at all.

They're fairly big at the top and bottom but not at the side and once you start playing, you really forget ALL about them.

lets just hope other great games like mgs2 don't have borders.
