Here's something off the beaten path, a 3000 yen Blu-ray CG film from some indy studio called "Barnum Laboratory".

It looks like the 3000 yen gets you a 20 minute movie and an included CD single (the song playing on the youtube clip sounds like it's from the people who did the opening to haibane renmai),
What makes this interesting is that reading carefully, you see these are actually BD-Rs, not pressed blu-ray discs. They also say that they only guarantee playback on PS3s.
I suppose that's one way to avoid paying blu-ray licensing fees.
