The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on; - Higher bit rate 448kb/s Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. (R4 version has a 384kb/s DD5.1 soundtrack).
The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on; - 3 additional DVD-ROM Promotional video clips.
With the R4 disc only missing out on a slightly higher audio bit rate, there is no real compelling reason to purchase one disc over the other. Having said that, it is worth remembering that the R1's 448Kb/s soundtrack should sound a little better, speaking from a purist's point of view, whilst the R4 version will not suffer from 3:2 pull-down artefacts and will have approximately 20% more picture detail than the R1 version.
