File this under "trivial details you wouldn't care about if your day was less boring".
Differences between the R1 & R2 Buffy season one sets:
R2: embossed silver Buffy logo on cover
R1: Buffy logo is white, non-embossed
R2: package unfolds to reveal a crucifix. As you unfold each disc, the disc details for it are revealed on the back of the next disc sleeve (really cool).
R1: standard X-Files foldout
R2: 28 page glossy b/w guide to season one, containing detailed synopses, quotes, facts and trivia
R1: 12 page glossy colour guide to season one, containing brief synopses and basic production credits.
R2: The Hepburn "I Quit" music video
R1: strangely absent. Many can live with this.
Interestingly this comes at the same time as the Star Trek packaging differences, with R2 getting snazzy "medkit" cases, and R1 getting relatively dull-as-nails boxes.
However, back to Buffy, and the R1 video/audio came out superior in my head-to-head test (importantly, there is no PAL-speedup in the R1 version - so much better!).
Comments, anyone?
