Spider-Man 2: Collector's Edition | R4 |
Spider-Man 2 is due for release on DVD in Region 1 on 30 November 2004. However, it is due for release here on 17 November 2004, so it looks like we get it first. R1 consumers will initially be given a choice of buying either: Spider-Man 2 Special Edition (Widescreen, 2 discs) or Spider-Man 2 Special Edition (Fullscreen, 2 discs), or Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2 (Widescreen 2 discs). I say "initially", as following the initial release of Spider-Man in R1, other versions followed, including a Deluxe Edition and a Superbit edition. Indeed, in R4 there are currently at least three versions of the original Spider-Man DVD, including single-disc, double-disc, and four-disc editions. In regards to the 2-disc Special Edition, the Region 4 DVD misses out on:
The Region 1 DVD misses out on:
In summary, we get the DVD first, and with one more extra than the R1 version. If you also consider the PAL/NTSC difference (and the inherent superiority of our PAL transfer), our version is the clear winner. |
