But won't buying a blu-ray player cancel out the 1000yen difference by a lot? :lol:

Although seeing Maaya in high definition would probably make it all worth it.

Even I don't have the player, I already have a place to see it :lol:

I always do the same, purchase something I can't use at the moment but surely someday will :wink:

Ooh, I just saw from dillpops' CDJapan link that the Blu-ray version isn't region-locked... That changes things a little. I know someone who has a nice HD setup I could borrow, too -- I bet the Blu-ray would look nice on that. Argh, now I want both! Maybe if I go another month or two without using the A/C I can save enough for the Blu-ray version...

I've been planning to buy a PS3 at some point, so this might be the incentive to finally make me do it. If I want to be cheap, I'll just get a blu-ray (bd-rom) drive for my PC and wait for another price drop on the PS3. ;)

Even if the blu-ray version was region locked, it would not be an issue for you since Japan and N. America are in the same bd region. For blu-rays, there are only 3 regions. I didn't know that either until someone told me yesterday. :D

That's another happy fact I just learned today, although I found out from Wikipedia. Hopefully the whole idea of region locking becomes a thing of the past, since it was a ridiculous idea to begin with.

No, I think N. America is Region 1 and Japan and Europe is Region 2

And they wont stop it, sonce its build to be rediculous so that you can't import from cheap countrys.

^ This division works in DVD, Blu–ray regions are quite diferent —that's why I keep my lap in reg2, but is really anoying that it can reads all regions but only one at time =/
Another reason to purchase the BR, it's region–free.

btw, CDJ added a bonus poster

New ID message on Maaya's official site about the concert video release, but that's the only update. Urg, need more info! Well CD Japan posted the set / track list on their site a while ago, but I'm aching for some sample videos.

Well at least I got all my hardware in place for the blu-ray. Bought a bd-rom drive for my computer and it works great. :D
