Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The equivalent Region 1 release hit the shelves about two years ago and it appears from all accounts that they are as equally stiffed as Region 4, other than the obligatory language and subtitle differences, if not more so depending upon the theatrical aspect ratio of the film. The transfer sounds on a par with the Region 4. Region 2 (Europe) appears to have the same DVD as we have. So basically you go with whichever is the cheapest - unless Region 3 or Region 2 (Japan) turns up something better - although the better framing of the Region 4 release would perhaps make it the slightly preferred version.
