Comments:

Pretty much no difference in these editions. Same cover art, same menus. Both have a decent relatively un-noticeable layer change. The Columbia R2/4 edition does have substantial audio Dubs and subtitles if they are required. I think the R1 may also be slightly sharper, but the difference is negligible. Pick the cheapest!  - Gary W. Tooze
