I'd wait for the big reviews and make sure the discs work fine as well, look what happened to Lord Of The Ringss: The Two Towers. Apparently there are problems with the disc and chapter 51. Lots of people have been exchanging them:

LOTR:TTT DVD Info

Problems with The Two Towers
Many readers report problems at chapter 51.

September 02, 2003 - Thanks to numerous reports from our readers, it seems there is a major problem with this run of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. What we've learned is this:

* If your LotR:TTT disc is going to go bad, it will always take place at the same spot: in chapter 51, where Gandalf says "The battle for Helm's Deep is over, the battle for Middle-earth has begun." The disc will stop skipping around chapter 52, although sometimes it jumps back about an hour in the disc.

* The most common players prone to this problem are Sony players and the PlayStation 2, but Sony isn't the only victim. People are reporting the problem on players from Toshiba, Panasonic and Apex.

Most folks have been able to exchange their discs, although some had to go back as many as three times before finding a working disc. With enough trial and error they find a working one. My suggestion is if you take back the disc to get a new one, if the store has working DVD players on the floor, open it up right there and try it out.

I've spoken to New Line, they are looking into it. We'll get back to you as soon as we hear from them.

OVERALL : Draw - likely to be between Regions 1 and 4 - for the uncut status of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom

Cuts
R1 - No cuts
R2 - Cuts - 1:06 to Temple Of Doom
R4 - No cuts

NOTE: theyre charging a further AUD$20 for international shipping so works out around about £40

Thanks Faddy - I'm going for the region 4 version. PAL and uncut - fantastic. I remember watching the movie in the cinema and remembering that there was a bad cut during one of the thuggie rituals. After that the movie has been shown on TV with numerous cuts.

Cuts to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom;

1984 US film by Steven Spielberg.
1:06s cuts for both cinema and video

Cuts to a close-up of a heart being ripped from the chest and the subsequent self healing of the chest wound.
The deletion of the line 'Leave him alone you bastards' when the Chinese kid is about to be whipped
Deletion of the Chinese Kid burning a guard's stomach with a flaming torch (and hence discovering an ability to heal)
The sequence in which a sacrifice victim is being lowered into the fiery pit has been shortened and set to different music.
Cut to the first 1s or 2s from the shot of his fall in order to delete the image of his head hitting the side of the cliff.
Note, the Leave him alone you bastards line is heard in the 'behind the scenes' documentary on the recently re-released tape, although the line is still cut in the main film!

The American decision to rate the film PG caused huge controversy in the US at the time. In fact, the controversy over the PG rating (which was seen by many as the MPAA caving in to Spielberg and corporate pressure) was largely responsible for the introduction of the PG-13 certificate.

In the UK today, the uncut version would now be considered as 12 or even 12/15 borderline. The PG version is still considered to be one of the stronger PGs ever certificated by the BBFC and has generated more complaints than most over the years.

The recent BBC showing is confirmed to be the cut version. The BBC in fact consulted with the BBFC to ensure that they showed the officially sanctioned cut version.

Just got my version today (Region 1) and loved the picture quality. The films looked so prestine and sharp!!! As if it was shot quite recently. PHAT Hi-Def Transfers!! Also the 2hr doc on disc four was amazing and well put together :) IMO one of the better DVDs this year.

Now I look forward to the next batch of DVDs; Finding Nemo, Two Towers (4disc), Dances with Wolves (4disc) and The Alien Quadtrilogy (9disc)!

No need for Indian DVDs anymore really (except the classics released by BEI of course)
