Anyone picked this up yet?  English subs on extras?  Digipak?  It is cheap so I’ll probably get it, but I haven’t heard anything about it yet.

This was just released as a Region 2 DVD in the UK under the alternate title of BIG MAN JAPAN. See link:

Eventually this will be released by Magnet releasing here in the states.

Such a damn fine film too.

I just ordered the Region 3 HK edition from HKFlix.com (which they still have at pre-order for some reason)so I’ll let you know the quality as soon as it arrives in my mailbox. Thanks zombeaner for the heads-up on this edition.

Yes Zombeaner, thanks!
I’m kicking myself for not reacting sooner, and I just put up an article for this (thanks for the reminder, TheDoug).
Loved the movie on the big screen, and so did the other critics I saw this with at the press screening. Chuckles all around, and the major wake-up moment during the first interview (trouble with the neighbors?) had everyone jumping.
