Plus the fact that I am sure the studios don't want us getting from other regions... so all the major electronic distributors comply with them and only offer R1 players.
I assume that the flow R2->R1, R4->R1 is much much smaller. Don't know about R3->R1 though.
... but if it is packaging and a nice selection of extras that we never got before... then I don't think I will be able to help myself.
Oh I considered that... but then my mother would kill me... she has been trying to get that collection off me since I first bought them. Hmmmm.... maybe I should sell them to her?.... Nah not even I am that bad!
LOL... very true... and think of how good of a son I would be if I just gave them to her!
