YouTube’s Player Gets Wider as Gap Between Competition Gets Narrower

YouTube

YouTube has officially announced its switch to a widescreen aspect ratio video player.
New player is 960 pixels wide. 4:3 aspect ratio videos are displayed in letterbox.
Widescreen could be enabled previously on YouTube videos by using a manual URL, but now the widescreen player is the default.
Recently, YouTube announced they will stream select full length MGM films. No doubt they will take advantage of the widescreen view.
Hulu, are you scared? (probably not)
