Old news, but what one hears normally is that people buying figurines/merchandises,etc tends to give up on purchasing the anime series DVDS. But Code Geass R2 is really popular, to the extent that Bandai Visual has reported of shipping 100,000+ Blu-Ray Discs and DVDS. The figures itself are shocking!!

I myself has never shipped a R2 region DVD simply because I do not have the language to comprehend. I normally go for R1, and they take a long time to be licensed sometimes =/
What about you? Do you go for R1/R2? …
