Red Dragon (Rental) | R1 |
This is certainly not a like-for-like comparison at this stage, since the Region 4 disc is a rental and from what I can gather there are two separate versions of this title to be released in Region 1 on April 1, 2003. One is labelled a Collector's Edition and the other a Director's Edition. From the information I can find, the actual films contained on each version are exactly the same, it is merely the inclusion of some additional director-themed content on the second disc that sees it earn the Director's Edition tag. It must also be noted that neither of the Region 1 versions appear to contain a dts soundtrack. The Region 1 Collector's Edition contains the following:
The Region 1 Two-Disc Director's Edition includes all of the above extras and the following:
Hopefully, the Region 4 sell-through disc will have at least the same contents as the Collector's Edition, or even better still, both versions will be released here. For now, either of the Region 1 discs is the clear winner. This may change if Region 4 keeps the dts soundtrack and picks up all the extras. |
