Your Opinions and Comments
The only differences I see between the Region 0 and Region 2 sets are:
1.) The extras, of course. The Mike Noble interview is worth the difference in prices, in my opinion.
2.) The menus. The Region 2 DVDs have MUCH better menus than the Region 0 discs. The animations on the R2 discs were done by friends of mine, so I admit to being biased. Robin and Pauline Day make the most remarkable 3D pictures and animations of all things XL5!
