I want all those nice Blu-Ray releases!
Is Jin-Roh out at all? I see it nowhere...sad, i badly want this one!
And where can i get Honneamise and SOS for a good price?
Lastly, what's the best/cheapest place to order the Japanese Blu-Ray releases like GitS 2 and others. Are Air and Utawarerumono out in Japan?

RightStuf.com is the best, most reliable place to get Jin-Roh, WoH and SOS. Their Got Anime club discounts also really add up (assuming you spend more than $120 on products there in a year or less, since a GA membership costs $12 US yearly)

As for Japanese anime BD releases, I'd suggest YesAsia (free shipping worldwide), CDJapan or Amazon.co.jp (sometimes they'll have Blu-ray releases discounted lower than what the former two sell BD releases for, but they only use Express shipping for international / non-JP addresses).

Sometimes they'll also show up on eBay, so check there when possible (I got FLAG BD there for less than $20 US, from the UK(!), which was a huge savings considering the original 7800 Yen MSRP)

Yesasia lie about the prices though. They'll claim a different MSRP than the real one, and then give you a "discounted" price from that, which may or may not be lower than the real price. You really have to check against amazon JP and CDJapan to see who gives you the best overall deal.

Yesasia's appeal to me is that they pay shipping, but also customs & VAT. Good for box sets & more expensive goods. And they take Paypal, which is good as the GBP is so strong against the USD, as an immediate conversion happens on payment (Pp no good for pre-orders though). YA will also search for OOS/OOP items.

CDJ charges shipping & you pay by CC, however their customer service is 1st class IMO, & bonus points come in useful. First Press is always guaranteed with CDJ if you order in time.
