Region 2 Farscape on DVD
Do the region 2 DVDs have the same extra features as the region 1 DVDs. I have the R1 DVDs that are currently available & I am getting impatient for the rest to be released. Do the R2 sets have the deleted scenes reinserted in the eps or are they just an extra feature accessed through the menu.

They usually have separate features than the Region one DVDs, since the seasons are ahead.
You will see deleted scenes that are extras (because they are more rough cuts than what was put out on the show) and facts, special features made for the UK DVDs and even some limited sets, especially for season 4, that have extra goodies. I buy them from Amazon UK since they don't charge VAT and have very reasonable airmair shipping. Each release set has two DVDs (4 -5 eps) and usually cost me $30 each after shipping.

"...I buy them from Amazon UK since they don't charge VAT...
...erm... any EU e-tailer that sells items to someone living in a country outside the EU doesn't (!!! isn't allowed to !!!) charge V(alue)A(dded)T(ax) (remember: VAT is a local tax !!!) - (an American living in, say, Boston, who orders a DVD from a Los Angeles-based e-tailer does not have to pay California Sales Tax - and vice-versa...I think...)
...for instance: I live in Switzerland, a country which - although situated in the very heart of Europe - is not a member of the EU "club"... so... any DVDs I order from Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, or the Netherlands - all countries within the EU - are billed without VAT (so, for that matter, are R4 DVDs ordered from Australia)
...of course, depending on the total amount of the bill, upon receipt of my packages sent from these (and other) countries I then have to pay Swiss VAT (currently 7,5% - which is a whole lot less than UK VAT which, if I'm not mistaken, is something like 17,5%)...
Q.E.D.
