I'd try returning it, or give it to twikoff

I'd say thank you very much and decide later if I'm going to keep it or trade/sell it. is it the only way the film comes? then I might keep it. if not...just exchange it if you can. depending on the person who gave it to you and how sensitive they are....you can explain the importance of ws then or later....after the holidays.

Educate the giver on DVD theology, then return it for WS.

Accept it and say thank you instead of being an ass and explaining what they did wrong. If I could exchange it without them knowing I would but I wouldn't say anything about it when accepting the gift.

I would accept it as well, and understand that no one is perfect.
I was JUST thinking of this too. We have this [lisp] "Secret Santa" [/lisp] going on at work and everyone knows that I like DVDs. Chances are I would have anything they would buy me, and they would most likely get fullscreen if they didn't know (per my great luck.)
If I didn't already own it I would probably watch it too. I'm not that big of a snob.

Got Indy FS for my bday and exchanged it for WS w/o a receipt. No big deal - and not worth putting the giftgiver in the uncomfortable position of having to return a would-be quality gift over something like that.
