Reliable reviews of the Region 1 equivalent of this DVD are not easy to find, so I am trusting the say-so of customers from online retailers in some respects here. The Region 1 version of these discs is more or less identical, except that it is NTSC formatted, which means less resolution and the addition of 3:2-pulldown artefacts, which could be a bit too much to take in some episodes. The Region 1 version's list price is US $80, which makes it quite expensive indeed once the price of shipment is taken into account.

Yes, the 4% speed-up and pitch rise is a little annoying, but far less so than jerkier motion and less resolution, and those who have been watching this series as long as I have will know which of those is the greater sin. For the relative prices, I'd prefer a sharper picture with less noticeable conversion artefacts from the film source, so Region 4 is a marginal winner here. Your mileage may vary, however.
