Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The Region 1 disc was released in 2002. As far as I can tell, the discs are pretty much the same, except that we get more in the way of extras (choke! gasp!): the R1 disc doesn't have the music video, the long list of Madman propaganda, the Japanese promo, or the cast profiles. They do get the critical extras: the commentary and the booklet, plus the reversible cover and a gallery (although theirs is reportedly only six images long, unlike ours). Reportedly, their transfer is as good as ours.

    With the R4 getting rather more extras, a superb transfer, and costing less, I'm not going to recommend the R1, now am I?
