The region 1 has two discs and a standard case, while the region 2 has 3 discs (the third one being more interviews), a special 3 disc with cool hinges that hold each disc, and ... DTS!!! The only thing about it is that it only has English Subtitles, other then that, it's perfect.

Why do we get the short end of the stick with releases over here in the U.S.?!  All other regions get these multi-disc releases that contain anywhere from 2-4 discs, and we're lucky to get 2 discs in out releases!  Why is that?
Case in point, I got a 4-disc edition of Godzilla Final Wars (off E-bay) that's absolutely incredible while the upcoming region 1 release this month, has one disc and one featurette.
That to me, is sad.  Anybody have an explanation?

Shawshank Redemption: 10th Anniversary Special Edition: 3dvd

Apparently it's only 7.99 Pounds at HMV (on the web). I went to the store last weekend and it's still 19.99 but it's BUY ONE GET ONE FREE.....so I am still pretty much undecided whether to order it off the internet or not. Since I want the best package available...
