Hello,

I would buy the region 2 version if I were you. It's out in Holland and there (as far as I can tell) is no difference in extra features compared to the region 2 version.

Also, the picture quality will be better, because the region 2 is the PAL version, which is naturally better suited for viewing on European televion sets. When viewing the region 1 version, your DVD player has to convert the NTSC signal (525 lines/ 60 Hz) to a PAL signal (625 lines/ 50 Hz). Use the link at the bottom of this message for in-depth information about technical DVD issues.


A third argument: it's just as cheap (or probably cheaper) as the region 1 version. I bought mine for fl. 132,-, which is only about 37 English pounds!

Greetings,
