 I'm looking at buying this myself.
 
 Why do you say the R1 version has a lower bitrate than the PAL versions?
 Is the film split across multiple disks on the PAL releases?
 
 Is the R1 progressive scan? I would prefer progressive scan over the PAL
 disks... I hate the idea of speeding a film up.
 
 As for the extras... nice to have them, but I don't really care if the
 quality suffers a little on those.
