About 10 years ago I purchased a VHS/DVD recorder for the expressed purpose of digitizing the Sci-Fi channel version of Dark Knight that I had. It coincided with the time that I purchased off another fan some VHS tapes of the actors' earlier works. I was so excited to have them that I prioritized that over converting DK. Because the universe hates me, my brand new recorder died on me after 6 months before I could even get to DK. It was expensive and heavy and I was disappointed that I pretty much bought a piece of junk that I never looked into buying a new one. I'm also skeptical of buying one second hand considering my bad luck with the first one.
>The old DVDs also say they are region 1 on the back cover. But they play on my region 2 player in spite of that. I wish I knew for sure.<
Hopefully the price will come down in the future to the point you might feel comfortable purchasing the set. Then hopefully you can see if the same thing applies to the new set. :-)
