Hi, I really like the cd, has a good cross-selection of Bette's material from later albums, and early songs like 'In The Mood' that didn't make her earlier 'Experience the Divine' cd hits collection, so even if you have a greatest hits by Bette, you'll still wind up with TEN songs that weren't on her earlier 'hits' collection. (There are 22 songs on the cd).
As for the dvd, it's always been clearly stated here on Amazon that it is a Region 2 dvd, so to give this release a lower rating because it doesn't play on "your" dvd player or computer seems like self-serving buyer's remorse from someone who had the information available of what the item was, and not a real rating, at all.
The dvd is her 'Diva Las Vegas' concert, which for some odd reason, never has been commercially available in the US. It's a welcome addition to my Bette collection, and I assume most viewers will check to see if their dvd player(s) will play other region dvds before buying it!
So, five stars for the cd, for somehow finding other 'hits' to include, no small feat, when she hasn't really had any new hits since her earlier greatest hits cd! But, repackaging is such a big part of any releases we get from labels who still bother at all with "mature" artists, and at least there is a very liberal handful of ten songs that weren't on 'Experience The Divine'.
The live dvd is a good show, and as there haven't been many Bette concert tours released on DVD, it's great to have this- I believe the last official live concert of Bette's available on DVD is 'Divine Madness', so 5 stars also for the REGION 2 DVD :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Just enjoy it!, December 8, 2011

Love Bette and loved the CD. However, the bonus DVD does not play in the US.
I did not understand the what "PAL/Region 2" meant until after receiving the product.
However as I used my Amazon points to purchase the item, I just kept it and play the CD over and over.
