Straight from Japan!! Amazon first informed me that it'll ship 2.24.09 but two days ago I got an email saying "it's ready to ship". I think I'm def one of the first set of buyers because now the status in amazon japan says "Out of Print--Limited Availability." DVD was shipped priority overnight. During the next couple hours, I will be watching these in big screen TV with surround sound!
BTW, if you want your copy NOW, here's how to order
