Region 3 DVD's

[soundwave]

Just a quick question that's been puzzling me...

Why are Region 3 DVD releases of movies so much better than the junk the UK & sometimes th US get???

I've just ordered the Region 3 Ultimate Edition of Sin City, which comes on 3 dicsc

Disc 1 - Recut & Extended version
Disc 2 - Theatrical release
Disc 3 - Tons & tons of extras

I cant see us ever getting it & the US arent slated for a release either.

I'm beginning to think now that the bulk of my purchases will be R3 releases over the R1 & R2 offerings seeing as there is so much available there that will take forever to get here & in much better releases as well...Sympathy for Lady Vengance 2 Disc Korean edition & Initial D The Movie Ltd Edition box have been ordered as well today as they are already out over there.

So is there any reason why their releases are so much better?
And who else gets them?

It's the same with CDs, Japanese versions always seem to include half a ton of bonus tracks and extra discs. Doing it to beat piracy makes sense, why can't we have those sort of releases though

Could you imagine the extra cost though they'd stitch us with???

Think I will deffinitley keep more of an eye on R3 releases in future now though after the few bargains I've just got
