Is it worth getting an R2 Spy who Shagged me DVD? For £16? I`m not sure which is better or which has more extras. Please help!!

The only differences that I could make out when I bought my R1 copy were the extra DVD-ROM features - Trivia game demo (v.good), screen savers and a couple of other things.

I bought the R1 when it first came out, and I`m glad I did as the Canned Ham Spoof Doc is worth the price of the disc alone, and is criminally missing from the R2 release due to rights problems.

So buy the R1. You won`t regret it!
