Comments Both images are quite good with some minor and visible edge enhancement, but we give a slight edge in the Region 1 brightness. the PAL edition has an Allen interview which would have been great on the NTSC that has nothing but filler. No significant cropping and I would choose whichever is most reasonably priced. Overall I would take the Pal edition which, for me, has the interview which exceeds the value of the negligible image difference. The region 1 menus are fun and animated.
