Now if only they can start adding subs to all of their releases. I've heard that the reason they don't do it is because they believe it devalues it's licensing value, and if that's true, I have to wonder how anime has lasted as long as it has with this kind of thinking (this stacked with other things that seem like backwards thinking).

I guess this either means that it won't get licensed here, or it will and it probably won't get dubbed. (And given that Aniplex is apparently involved it probably will be Aniplex USA, which means dub chances are 50/50 since season 1 and A's may not have done well here)
Which would suck because the Nanoha dub was decent, but needed room for improvement and this would be a nice chance for the VAs to sound better. (Especially that one teacher  )

Is there any word on whether or not the Blu-Ray will be region coded? I want this, but with a region locked BR player I might have to settle for DVD.

Even without owning a BR player, I'll still pick this up, since Japanese releases seem to stay in print for only so long. I actually just finished A's yesterday, it was even better than Season 1.

umm, Japan and America fall under the same region for blu ray. never heard of a region locked blu ray player before (having a PS3 makes things so much simpler for me)

A good bit are Region Free from what I've read, but I don't know if these will be or not. I guess we will find out when it gets closer to the release date.

Yes, but Saka's an Aussie.
I'm more curious on why a company would add an audience track. Isn't not having to listen to everyone around you one of the top-3 reasons to watch films at home?

Region codes are irrelevant. They just don't bother using them for Japanese market anime releases on BD. Don't know why, as they always used them on DVD, but every JP anime BD I've seen is region-free.

The Wikipedia Machine cites an estimate that 70% of Blu-Rays are sold without region coding. Among major US studios, only 20th Century Fox and MGM are reported to normally region-code their releases, and Paramount and Universal do not region-code any of their Blu-Ray releases.

I might consider trying to acquire this then, mainly because the both the UK and Japan use Region 2. I hope the subtitles are a good quality translation then.
Actually, where would be a good place (probably online) to acquire it (legally of course) when it does come out?

This is a Blu Ray, not a DVD. Blu Ray uses a different region coding system, in which the US and Japan are Region A, Europe is Region B, etc.

The article is talking about both the DVD and Blu-Ray versions. And I'm going with the DVD since I don't have/want a Blu-Ray player.

The region locked player I'm referring to is my PS3. While they're not region locked for games, they are for Blu-Rays and DVDs.
