Though I understand the packaging looks pretty professional, so they'd stack much nicer with the rest of your collection. I might try it out for that reason, but I'm a little uneasy over some of the reviews I see about the titles. A lot of my choice favourites I had my eye on seem to say things like "It's *almost* perfect!" or "It's amazing... except for a few scenes here and here where you can't see the text or it pauses and gets out of sync." Though I suppose I'm just taking the negative too harshly, when in reality when watching it the errors in quality they mention probably aren't so bad.
Bit torrents: generally without dubs, fan subs. Think they are TV quality too. If you don't mind them, just go ahead d/l them and burn them.
As for being uneasy with the quality, those sets with some negs aren't really that bad, unless rated really poorly. However, if you are really particular about it, go ahead and stick with R1s.
