All I can say, is, it's about time.

Just kinda sucks that all the previously uploaded videos are recorded at 4:3 instead of 16:9/10 so there are blackbars on the sides. Cool, nonetheless!

Im really a fan of this widescreen view. Its much easier on the eyes and it doesnt seem so amateur anymore.

it does look alot better however i think there should be an option to watch the old 4:3 movies as before as it can be quite irritating if you're watching something like a film.... i noticed it last night while watching something i thought that someone had uploaded it that way, didnt realise whole thing had changed..... but yes in general thumbs up :)
