Page 1 of Rocky questions

At the moment i am cautious in buying the rocky box set because the region 2 version is named Rocky `Anthology`, were as the region 1 version is known as the box set. Having seen the region 2 version in the shops, the box covers do not appear to be the same (Region 1 version appears red,with an image of American flag).Anyone know if there is a difference in the packaging?
Also i was wondering if anyone has experienced problems with region 1 or 2 versions, as my dvd player (proline 2000) is renowned for its many problems.

i have a oritron 600 (from which your player is cloned) and i have had no problems with rocky special edition (rocky 1)R2.
As for the boxed set, the R1 version has 5 different cases, the R2 version has one double case that folds open to have 5 discs in it, it also slips into a sleve which has the poster from rocky 3 on it.

The R2 version is superior as all 5 movies are anamorphic widescreen.

In the R1 set 2 of the Movies are not anamorphic widescreen (MGM were lazy are reused the old transfer for those 2 discs)
