I'm considering placing my order for the Special Edition of Volume 1 of PSG as well as the soundtrack before Christmas Eve (Oh shit, that's, like, only 4 days away, so I would really like to resolve this ASAP). The soundtrack should be easier to obtain, but there are a few factors to research on obtaining the actual series itself direct from the Japanese market:

* Seems like it can be purchased from Amazon.jp, but I'm unsure if this is covered for oversea shipments, since they only permit selected movies and music. Also having trouble making out some of the moonspeak; will appreciate if someone could properly translate the list of contents for this Special Edition so that I can determine if this purchase is worth it (an art book would be friggin' sweet). And yeah, I've tried Google Translate and Babelfish. No help. Also, are there other channels to obtain them?

* Then there's the price after currency exchange (¥100.00 = M$3.73). We could be spending an upward of M$375 a pop (including shipping cost, each), and you'll need to 6/7 volumes to complete the set for this season (4 parts/2 episodes a volume on average). Keep in mind they're currently available at discounted prices (~30% off), but I don't know how long they'll stay that way.

* BD or DVD? BDs have no region lockout between us and Japan compared to DVDs, if there is any lockout to begin with. Also, I'm having a hard time believing BDs would survive obsolence and be given backward-support by future formats.

* Also, customs on our side. How do they deal with shipments like this?

Anything else that I need to be aware of before I go ahead with this?
*
1. Amazon JP will usually using DHL (sometimes Fedex) and you will be charged additional 2000 yen for shipping. That would be 8838 yen if you order that.
2. Discount is eligible. Discount price is according to when you placed your order. The payment price will be according to the date when you used your card/money transfer.
3. So far from my experience getting BDs from Japan, they can be played on my player very well.
4. 8838 yen is about RM 330++. As long as it's under RM 500, no tax will be charged upon your product and they less likely to open the box (unless they see something weird when they scan).
