No we won't see the market flooded, everyone who buys a dvd player will instantly learn by some magical process about OAR and learn to enjoy films as the director intended.

I see the scenario as follows buy dvdplayer, buy widescreen dvd, notice black bars and buy widescreen tv if not already owner of one. Learn to appreciate films and DD/dts sound buy surround sound system. etc etc etc

I heard that you can send back the second disc to solve "problems"...



Seriously though, I did think Columbia Tristar's handling of that situation was good.
