I just double checked our FAQ because this is one of the most frequently asked questions on our site. To my surprise, this bit of information is not included in there.
Here is the short version of the difference between R1 and HK.
An R1 DVD is licensed and produced for sale in North America.
An HK DVD is produced in Hong Kong and not licensed by the producer.
The R1 disc is what you can go down to your local chain store and buy off the shelf.
This site, some asian stores, and a few other smaller outlets sell HK discs.
You can expect a certain quality level from an R1 disc while it can vary widely with an HK disc. This is a large part of why this site rocks so much because of the reviews for so many of the titles on the market.
If you want to further explore the differences between HK and R1, I suggest you use the search function of the forum and do some research. There have been many long debates over the various pros and cons of both R1 and HK discs.
