So its BD release will be on 1/14 and im pretty psyched. the best prices ive found are from Fry's and RightStuf! for $43 and $45, respectively (after shipping).

Has anyone found a better deal? if so, go ahead and share your findings!

Rightstuf has been shipping this for a little while so you would get it sooner from them.

I've seen this at my local FYE.

Love this show. I'll probably wait for a lower price due to finances though.

You might be thinking of the dvd version, which has been available.

im hoping that this isnt just another upscale. yeah i might wait for the price to go down, but damn this looks delicious!

also, it would be nice if they released TTGL in its glorious, glorious BD as well.

Better dubbed or subbed?

I like excel saga but watched it on netflix and couldn't get passed the first episode dubbed. it was horrendously bad.

Dubbed. There's no other option.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bad masters were intentional by the Japanese rights holders.

Since the show was natively animated in HD, I don't see why it would be an upscale. The Japanese rights holders almost didn't allow a US Blu-Ray release though, so they certainly could've given bad masters.

Also, that review is lame and suffers from Kaufman's eternal ignorance of paragraph breaks.

Dang I want this but I'm leery about the transfer. The AMZ price is a bit high and the RS price is slightly better but I have hopes it'll drop to about $35. Not anytime soon...but there's always hope.

Man, I wanted this, but now I'm not so sure with the questionable video transfer. I'll wait it out and see what other reviewers say about the video quality before I buy.

If you really cared about quality, you'd get your anime from other sources. You're paying for the plastic and what name gets displayed on your shelf.

Valued appropriately, this release is a good grab at $30 or less.

Either you're vouching for piracy/bootlegs, or for original Japanese releases without translations. Which is it?

I'm okay with the ambiguity. ^__^
