Greetings from Dubai!
DVDs here (Middle East) are the same as DVDs in UK, regions 2 & 4 (PAL) din.
I bought SE DVDs Batman & Batman Returns there in Manila last Christmas. Then I bought the last two sequel SE DVDs here in Dubai two months ago. I did it out of curiosity lang. Just to see the difference, and the SE DVDs would be more cheaper at a later date.
Wanna know the difference besides the region numbers & TV system formats, Bros?
The special features of Region 2 & 4 have english subtitles, Region 3 DVD na binili ko dyan sa Manila, wala.
Amaray case lang yung Batman 3 & 4 SE's na nabili ko, unlike the first two DVD's I bought in Manila. Pero kahapon lang, may box na each SE DVDs sa Virgin Megastore dito.
IMHO, what I bought was part of a SE boxset. Pinag-hiwa-hiwalay lang nila so that they can charge us poor Consumers an additional aed10-20 (Php140-280) more.
Pansinin nyo rin yung credits sa Batman Returns SE (back cover of DVD case), parang tama... ;-p
Just so you know... =)
