Hopefully Play247.com will have it at the same price as the Region 1 version of £17.99.
It will be released one day before it is released in the US and it will be identical to the US disc in the special features department.

I had so much faith in them in pulling out all the stops to make it at least a lot cheaper than that but it seems not to be the case this time.
Perhaps SR will take notice of this and perhaps offer it to us at perhaps £19.99 or thereabouts otherwise my order on Play247.com for the R1 version at a great price of £17.99 will remain intact.
Remembering of course that that picture quality on the Simpsons DVD won't be that wonderful anyway - rmembering it comes form an animated TV show. Taken for granted that theere will be no picture damage.

No.
pb explained this in a bit of detail ages ago but I'll give a very short version.
There is no difference in the DVDs themselves. PAL output IS better than NTSC but that is to do with the player, not the disc.
I think you are right in thinking that it may be quite hard to knock of £20 or more to match their R1 price ... but there is no harm in hoping is there? I mean R2 is better picture quality than R1 in the first place isn't it?
While I'm sure they'll be able to knock a bit off the £39.99 price tag there's no way they'll be able to match the R1 price - even when you compare they're R1 price against other R1 retailers like Amazon they are miles "ahead". It seems to be an exceptionally good deal they are doing with that one.
