How much of an issue has the DVD format been in the States there? Have a lot of people been complaining about the mistake? I only ask out of curiosity because as I understand, DVD players have been equipped to play both formats for quite a while now. I would've thought any player bought within about the last 5 years has the capability of changing formats once the disc is popped in, if not allowing the user to manually change the format (which I understand can be annoying). Same with DVRs. And with TVs these days, although for TVs it's probably those bought within the last 2 years. Not to challenge you guys if you're not able to play the disc, but I was just under the impression these units could play both PAL and NTSC. Certainly in Australia, that's been my experience.
