Here are your options:
R1/R2 (japan)/R3: You get DTS, you get no speed-up, but you only get 3 discs
R2/R4 (Aus): you get 4 discs, you get DTS, but you also get PAL speed-up
R4 (latin america): you get 4 discs, you get no speed-up but as of right now, you also dont get DTS.

I need to read up more about this PAL Speed Up. I have no idea what that is. I know that NTSC and PAL are different signals but I didnt think it would be a problem.

Not to get into a discussion about that here but PAL and NTSC have different frame-rates, PAL being faster. Some people claim not to notice it while others do. All about personal preference.

Bummer man. Not having DTS R4 really killed it. They left space for a DD 5.1 in Portuguese. Fox used to have a DTS track and 2.0 Spanish & English. Now their titles have dd 5.1 English, Spanish & Portuguese. Shame, you get extra content, but the DTS track's worthwhile. Unless you make your own SE case and get the R1 discs w/dts along with the extra content in R4.

thankfully there's been some confirmation that these two extras
MTV MOVIE AWARDS TITANIC SKIT (Run Time 4m 21s)
TITANIC (1997) S.E. - EASTER EGG - SNL SKIT WITH BILL PAXTON AND JAMES CAMERON (Run Time 4m 47s)
are easter eggs on the domestic R1 edition.

Disc 3 its not a DVD9 its a DVD5

Disc 4

Think a store in East LA might carry this? I've noticed a lot of stores in Little Tokyo (deep in LA) carry R2 Imports for rent and sale. I've also stumbled across a couple of tiny stores that deal with Russian, Korean and other communities that offer various import titles to their cliental.
Anyone savy enough to know of an LA connection which deals with titles from across the border?
Failing that, who wants to make a run and smuggle some 4-Disc sets to this side?

399 pesos (35 bucks). I just got the R1, and will be getting the R4. I believe it is R1/R4 for those thatwould like to know. Fox's been doing this for a while now. Their dvd's play both regions coming out of Mexico.
