Region 1

Not long after the Region 2 details were revealed Fox have now announced the Region 1 DVD release of James Cameron's Dark Angel - Season One. The complete first season will be presented in 4:3 Fullscreen (compared to the Region 2 Anamorphic Widescreen transfers) with DD2.0 Surround audio with a set of extra features that put the Region 2 extras to shame.

This 6-disc set will be available from May 20th with a retail price of $59.98, so it that gives Dark Angel fans a few months to choose between the Anamorphic Widescreen transfer of the Region 2 set, or the extras found on the Region 1 set.

And the Region 2

Fox Home Entertainment have sent over the full press release for their February 24th 2003 Region 2 DVD release of Dark Angel Season 1. Retailing at £59.99 this 6-disc box set will contain all 21 episodes from Season 1 presented in Anamorphic Widescreen with DD2.0 Surround audio, and the following extra features...

Four interview segments:
1. James Cameron and Charles Eglee
2. Jessica Alba
3. Michael Weatherly
4. John Savage

/me drools at the thought of 6 discs of Jessica Alba

mmmm Logan and Zack

I'm still very annoyed that this series was cut short after season 2. It was building up to the juicy stuff quite nicely after the first series gave a background from most of the transgenics ...

Considering it was pulled for Firefly which has now hit the pan I'm really not a happy bunny

So its either the R1 for the extras and cheaper price or R2 for the widescreen they know how to screw us dont they.

Think ill go for the Region 2 as it is widescreen but ill wait until both are available as they may make R1 widescreen yet as it isnt till May.

I think I'm with you JtB! I'll hang on for a bit. I can hope that they will give all those juicy extras in the widescreen format episodes, will also be better financially for me to hold off for a bit as well

Isn't it a shame that they can't stick loads of extras on the DVD as this would then persuade people that the copies they downloaded from newsgroups, kazaa, eDonkey etc would be worth replacing for all those extras!

It appears that Season 2 R2 Dark Angel was released on Monday 2nd June.

I'm surprised at the seemingly quiet release myself

As there were only 2 seasons - that's it folks, both are now available on the shelves

I want but alas no cash
