I wanna order my star wars disk from play247 but don`t know which one to get R1 or R2, the both cost the same and are release about the same time......any advice
RE: Star Wars Episode 1
My advice would be to get neither, it`s a s***e film no matter what region you come from - invest in Die Hard or Superman:The Movie before spending cash on CGI cack like this.... of course it`s just a suggestion.
I would get the region 2 version (thats what i have done). It comes out a day earlier and its pal, not ntsc (which is the better one)
The region 1 disc is cheaper! Only a quid but still!
wers the cheapest place to pre order?
Definitely Play247.
As for R1 or R2, if you have a progressive scan DVD player and display device then get the R1, otherwise get the R2. :)
Oh and if you have to ask if you *do* have a progressive scan DVD player you don`t have one.

I have a Scan - Is it "Progressive?"
I can`t have one, can I? (I haven`t upgraded firmware as I have had no problems). I think I have Ver 1.8?
What do you mean? Please advise.
Progressive scan are only found in high end DVD players like the ones from Denon and Pioneer, and they reatil at around £700 at least. And they also have composite video which is the best you can get. Even better then RGB, but you`ll need a projector, a normal TV won`t do (even wide screen) .

PAL may be better than NTSC, marginaly, but when I`ve pre-ordered for £16 and coppers, while R2 has been quoted at £24.99 I`m not too bothered about a few lines of resolution.
Think again,
All new Toshiba widescreen sets now have the provision for component video inputs from a compatible dvd player.Quite excellent it is too,with cinematic images that defie belief!(i still cant get over how good the picture from Toy Story 2 is!)
