Versus DVD Region Question - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I want to buy the special edition of Versus, but I'm having trouble finding a Region 1 copy for the price I'm wanting. I've found several copies of the Region 0 DVD, and it seems to have the same extras, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any differences.

Yeah, the Region 0 is a bootleg. I learned this the hard way; trust me, I'm far happier with my Region 1 copy.

Thanks for the info, theta. Glad you saved me from getting burned.

Think of it this way:
The Versus R1 disc features the ENTIRE special edition R2 release, and includes an extra commentary track, and the R2 release costs more than double the price of the R1 disc.

It's worth the price.

Plus the cast and crew commentary is worth the money by itself.

Is this movie worth a blind buy? It came up on Amazon when I bought Battle Royale. Just wondering, because I've never heard of it before

It seems to me that out of the people who see it, about 85 to 90% love it with all their hearts, while the other 10 or so percent, who I thought would love it, absolutely hate it with a passion, to the point where it seems violently against it.

And they all hate it for the ending.

I'd say if you're a fan of the Evil Dead series, Dead Alive, slapstick gore, camera angles and tricks coming out of the pants, it's good enough to pick up blind. It drags a bit, sure, but if you like humor in your horror movie, it's worth it.
