A couple of thoughts... using the R2 Three Colors Trilogy as an example - I've had the opportunity to view these films on DVD well before their R1 release date (And who is to say that release date won't change). For me, that's reason enough to have a region free player. Artificial Eye did a great job on the transfers and the extras were interesting AND informative. A top-notch package all around. To me, it is the best version of these films on DVD available anywhere. And that's really what having a region-free player is all about - having the best DVD version of a movie (people who frequent dvdcompare know what I mean).

I do not consider such "releases" available in R1.
By the way, thank you for pointing this out....though I have been aware of them for over a year now.

I cant verify the last two and would love to hear from someone who can in fact verify that these have been released in Canada.
