no worries. region 2 dvds in a lot of cases are indeed superior for folks like me, because as much as i hate to admit it here i am rather fond of a lot of non-english european cinema [not just horror films, i'm talking drama and silly shit like that], and a lot of great stuff is totally shat on in region 1 if it comes out at all... and of course, for my bbc stuff, there's no other way but PAL dvds.

most of the time, though, since i guess i'm mainly a horror/exploitation film fan, you are correct- the region 1/region free ntsc disc is a lot better than the pal one.. though lately that's been less of an issue due to the censorship issues in the UK in regards to senseless, brutal, consequence-free violence being eased a bit. goreporn plz.
