Jediboo - It's alright. I didn't know it myself, but I'll still get one, and I'll help anyone get a copy too if they want it.

happy

I will post the screenshots tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here's something I realised. The Asian DVD Release (the one with the Thai soundtrack) has NO region code on it. Its not even R3. So it will play on any hardware.

And the NTSC version's quality is indeed quite noticeable to me.
I strongly believe the R1 and the Canadian version will be worse. Especially those who bought it from Gramaphone, those were from Canada, or so I read from the main ROTS board here.

Reason is because there is not only the English Dobly Digital EX 5.1 soundtrack, it included English 2.0, French 5.1, Spanish 2.0 AND Director's commentary. While the Asian version had English 5.1, Thai 5.1 and D Commentary. So there is quite a lot of compromise on video quality.

The only upside why NTSC over PAL is the menu transitions and documentary. It is smoother than on PAL, because they were shot using NTSC cameras, rendered more for NTSC (although may not be true) and transcoded for PAL, so they are better on NTSC.

Anyway, I "rented" it and Palpatine's Thai Voice Actor has a GREAT laugh (really good one, no kidding). But otherwise, all other acting sucked =P
