    It looks as though many of the other Region 2 discs are the same or similar to that which is on offer in the UK. Any way you slice it, we in Region 4 get the shaft. We don't even get the same package as that afforded Region 1 almost 6 years ago!  There is no way in the world that I could ever recommend the Region 4 disc. Every version released elsewhere is better than ours. The UK disc is reported to have some cropping issues in regards to its image, and the Momentum disc is reported to have the same annoying telecine wobble problem as we have on the Region 4 disc, so I'd be heading for the Region 1 Special Edition. Region 4 misses out again. Why am I not surprised?
