Some people in the widescreen gaming forum (or whatever it's called, the original forum where all of this started) tried to do just that and the game seems to ignore any changes made to the FoV in the ini file.

If you hadn't read about this on a forum, would you even know?

And just for the record, these people who are bitching about the widescreen are the same people who threw a shit fit when they heard that some of the Big Daddy figures for the LE were broken. The same people who threw a shit fit because the LE didn't have a metal case. The same people who threw a shit fit because the CD included in the LE has three songs.

Some people overexagerraate everything, especially on the internet. Furthermore, if you only look where people are complaining then it will seem like a widespread issue.

If you really think the problems so bad, then why dont you DL the demo - then play on a widescreen and 4:3 and find out for yourself.

I'm not sure what the fuss is about. I played it last night on a 42" HD TV (widescreen) in 1080p and the game looks freak'n great. No feelings of tunnel vision or anything.

I supose it would be cool to see an inch or two more at the top and bottom, but it's not like I notice now.

Some folks asked how the problem will be fixed? Easy, I'm sure an x-box live auto download patch should take care of it.

Scratch my earlier idea -- the 360 assumes that if you're in 1080i you're also in widescreen, there's no way to set it for 1080i in 4:3. My TV only supports 480i, 480p and 1080i. Sounds like it's not an issue anyway -- I've never felt like "open matte" was an advantage over 1.85:1, and it sounds like that's exactly what this "issue" is. Trying to finish Paper Mario so I can dive into Bioshock this weekend.

Seems more like:

4:3 you see 100% horizontally and 115% vertically

16:9 you see 100% horizontally and 100% vertically

Aren't most 4:3 displays not even hi-def? I don't really see many 720p 4:3 displays on the market.... They are usually widescreen.
