    We’ll just have to wait and see what the studios do. FWIW, the 2010 BD does explicitly state on the front cover that it is 3D only.

    Where does it state “3D only”?  I looked this afternoon after reading your post thinking it might help with finding out that info on future discs…you know, show me what to look for.  But I didn’t see it any where (other than it just saying 3D).

    Last night I was looking for 3D movies on Amazon, and I came across the new Resident Evil that is coming out this month.  I noticed that it says, “This Blu-ray disc will display only in 2D without special hardware.”

    Edit: After posting, I looked up A Christmas Carol, and it says the same thing.  So Amazon’s info is probably not a reliable source to tell you if the 2D has been disabled.  They are probably making a general statement going with the assumption that the discs are playable in 2D.

    I am looking at the front cover of “The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Film in 3D” BD as I type this and it states:

    ONLY PLAYS IN 3D

    plainly on the front cover.
