DVD: Frequently Asked Questions
sandman:
I have a question for you all ??? . What is the difference between an Region 3 DVD from a Region 1? It seems that in our country, DVD collectors prefer R1 than R3. Is this because of the quality/special features of the DVDs or is it just because we are so enchanted by anything from the US ??? ?
My apologies if it seemed that Im a bit judgemental :-\ . I am also part of that group who prefers Region 1 DVDs. But really, what is the difference between R1 and R3?
