That sucks.....flat out sucks.
Some bonehead really messedup now. R2 applies to Holland, how come they didn't at least get the R2 the U.K. got. But in Dutch none the less.

I was very surprised that you go no extras. Here in the UK, we got less extras that the US version....

Truth be told, those that have multi-region DVD and DVDROM's, regardless where they live would have sought out the R1 versions and brought them. i'm real sorry our neigbours in Holland got the 'shaft'. I mean, what lazy ass in
UP headquarters doesn't want cash to flow in with sales of the DVD's in Holland. Any jabroni can burn episodes to DVD with a 'still' image for the menu screens*(See Region 2*).
I personally believe, there is no excuse for that kind of action. And i've never like the way people would ever defend businesses which make stupid decisions and back'em with lame excuses like;
It happens, and
thats life,
they have to cut down on costs etc. To make serious money, you need to spend money. And if i were to hear, somebody defend something as weak as those excuses, then they don't even know what they are talking about period.
DVD's are booming because the format of a Digital Versile Disc* (DVD) can support so much extra material literitary. All our Dutch companions have is just the episodes, nothing else.
Like i said it sucks to get screwed over in life.
If anything Marcel, tell your Galactica fans over there, to go to
play.com or
Amazon.com and order the R1 American or Canadian DVD boxsets. Which is even more than the U.K. release version. the hold shebang.
Settle for nothing less. As i've been to Holland, i know many of the people of the Netherlands are fluent in English and their native Dutch.
Hope you get to see the REAL DVD's of Battlestar Galactica soon.
