.: Verdict :.

If you're a BR fan who doesn't mind the fact that there's no subs and that it's a little expensive, then you should definitely get it. As you can see from this long, review there's a lot of content on this disc and it certainly is worth shelling out your hard earned pennies for.

If you're impatient (like me) and can't wait for a possible subbed release in the future, then make the purchase.

There's not much else I can say. Buy it! ^_^;
