Al's Cigar said:Right, I've just ordered the R2 from amazon with discount. Selling my R1 on ebay.
What was changed on the series 3 release?
tina_als_girl said:Well, this is just great. That's really unfair. Especially since UK DVDs don't work on US players... at least, that's what I've always been told.
Why on earth did the UK DVDs go unchanged but the US had changes? That's just so completely unfair...
I'm just glad I never forked out the dough for seasons 2 and 3. If I'm able to get the R2 DVDs and a player that actually plays them, well, yeah... I'm glad I hadn't spent my money yet.

Al's Cigar said:I'm afraid that would be breaking the law. Illegal. Why not sell your R1 set and buy the R2 set?
You really should be supporting the region that releases them uncut, not stealing from them.
Clara5 said:Well, I did not mean to offend you in any way... I just wanted to know if someone would be so kind as to do this for me, since I can't do it myself. And I don't see how it would be so bad for me to get these .avis, especially after being ripped off by the R1 version, all legal talk put aside. And I did not ask for Season 3 either, since I haven't bought that on DVD... not yet at least.
Now, about buying R2, the reason why I won't do that (yet) is because I know for sure that I don't have a multi-region DVD player, so that would be useless... Maybe when I'll have enough money go and buy a multi-region player, but for now it's just not possible for me. Plus, do you realise just how expensive it would be for me to import this R2 set to Canada? I know these online sites pay for US customs and sorts, but I'm sure they don't do that for Canada.

Does anyone have a good link to a site where I can get the region 2 version?
Thanks so much for the info on this!

QL Nut said:Just a quick question to those with the Region 2 set... On the Region 1 sets, the entire audio for the episode "Jimmy" is off-pitch. The problem is most noticeable with the music on the opening credit sequence, where the music sounds a chord lower than it should be. Has this sound issue been resolved on the Region 2 set?
Al's Cigar said:The problem should be resolved by PAL speedup, even it's the same master. PAL converstions from film run at 4% faster than NTSC, which means there's ever so slightly a higher pitch to the sound. Many people can't notice it. That's a point, if you are sensitive to sound you may hate the R2 versions. It's something your ears adjust to very quickly though.
I'm sure this higher pitch is no doubt more distinctive when music is playing; any noticeable differences there?
Al's Cigar said:On the bright side PAL has a higher picture resolution and won't suffer from 3:2 NTSC pulldown judder.
Al's Cigar said:Not huge differences, you might only notice on certain kinds of music. Sometimes I can't notice a difference sometimes I can, but my advice is don't go looking for it.:heybaby Some releases get pitch corrected these days, but I don't know if these ones have. My order hasn't arrived yet. Sometimes only a side by side comparison will yield a notciable dfference. When I get mine this week, I'll compare it to the R1, and let you know.
Manifan said:The UK has different music rights clearance issues than the US, so I've heard. Apparently the recording industry is ripping off the DVD industry in America, but that's not the case elsewhere. Hence the intact episodes in R2. You can bet I'll be supporting that region from now on.
