Mine is still in Japan, going all over the place...
Yokohama-shi, Tsurumi-ku, Kanagawa Prefecture
Narita-shi, Chiba Prefecture
Sennan-shi, Osaka Prefecture
Guessing I probably won't see it by release day...

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

I know, super dubious territory, but I've been ripping a lot my own purchased DVDs and game discs recently, and the convenience of having both is wonderful; can watch a movie on a computer without a disc, can watch a disc on a television without having to hook up the computer, etc.
Having both a physical and digital copy is obviously the best of both worlds! But I personally don't rip my DVDs or games. Maybe because I'm lazy. Plus, I own devices which allows me to connect my computer to my tv wirelessly, so I can access my media files without having to hook up my computer to my tv.
Never heard of such witchcraft, no wonder. Games are tricky, since there's the question of what you'd actually use the files for, and modern console emulators need very strong PCs. I've figured out Wii USB Loading to go alongside ripping, so I've got one. Oddly enough, the most visibly improved load time I've seen is in Tenkaichi 2- characters transform instantly! ...And that's enough of that.

Packaging says there are Japanese subtitles, but nothing about English. Haven't had a chance to actually watch the thing yet. You know how it is with small children at home.
Haha, not quite there yet in my life I'm afraid :p but I can imagine! Thanks, Julian! Keep us up to date!

Yokohama-shi, Tsurumi-ku, Kanagawa Prefecture
Narita-shi, Chiba Prefecture
Sennan-shi, Osaka Prefecture
Guessing I probably won't see it by release day...
Mine has been stuck on the exact same status since I saw it had been shipped...
"In transit". Last known location and status being "received by carrier" somewhere in Osaka.
It has been stuck on this status for over 48 hours now. Does it really take
that long to send a package from Osaka to Akita? Honestly, at this point I'd be happy with just
some update to let me know that it isn't just sitting on a shelf in a post-office on the other side of the island.

Makes me all the more excited. I like that she mixed in new with previously seen scenes.
My copy's in transit from Sennan-shi atm.
On hiatus.

...And just 20 minutes after I posted this, the status changed to "Out for delivery" with its last confirmed location being in Akita City.
Ask and ye shall receive, I guess

Well, it's not just going "all over the place". It went from the Amazon warehouse in Yokohama to Narita Airport in Chiba, then to Kansai Airport in Osaka. Presumably, it will be shipped out of the country from there.

I've rerouted everyone's copies of "Battle of Gods" to my house. We'll give them all away on the podcast.

Is Yokohama just a warehouse district type of place, because I ordered from CD Japan, not Amazon. =P

I just received my copy... I see no indication of any region-coding on the disc, nor on the technical specifications on the bottom of the box, so all signs point to it indeed being region-free

Mine's also still in Osaka; still gonna try to wake up in time to get it for 10:30am tomorrow, just in case the final leg of its journey happens while I'm asleep tonight.

If y'all offer to give away even a scratched disk on the podcast prepare to have the site crash as the market floods the forum

Well that sucks! Since I decided to last minute pre order couple weeks back, Amazon Japan said I won't be getting my blue-ray copy till the 21st. Oh well I guess I'll stay off the forum and Kanzenshuu till then.
I'm a DB veteran thats paid my DB dues!!

Sounds like package holdup, pretty common with international fedex..

Hmm, I ordered mine yesterday from CD-Japan, and it's already shipped.
