The good news for R2 people I suppose is that you honestly won't have much a desire to watch anything but the Final Cut in the future; there's really nothing but improvements and they are so minor and slight that one might even forget that you are watching a version different from the one you had previously been accustomed to. The biggest gain is really the extras, but those are on the two-disk anyway. Just to make you feel a little better. Personally I doubt I will ever be watching the other versions, even though I pre-ordered the big 5-disk set. If you really want the previous versions as actual viewing alternatives and not "just to have" in the completist sense the way almost everyone else does, then I suppose you might want to suffer either getting the DVD set as well or else waiting for someone to post one of them in HD on the net from the R1 sets.

I could have sworn that the four-disk version was coming to R2 though...
