Since this is a rental-only release at this time in Region 4, a fair disparity between the R1 release and the R4 was expected but in all fairness this disc fares reasonably well overall. The major differences seem to be 1 featurette and DTS encoding. The rest is marginal. The Region 4 disc misses out on: - 754kb/s DTS 5.1 soundtrack
- A second audio commentary by Coaches Boone and Yoast.
- An additional featurette
- An higher Dolby Digital bitrate of 448kb/s for the English soundtrack
The Region 1 disc misses out on: - French DD5.1 and Czech/Hungarian Dolby Digital 2.0 surround encoded audio tracks
- Various subtitles
Personally I'd take the PAL encoding over NTSC, but seeing as this is only a rental at this time, when it is released for sell-through we will hopefully gain a few of the missing features from the Region 1 release. Only time will tell, but if you are red-hot for a DTS version right now, then the Region 1 version would the way to go.
