Best way to order foreign Blu-rays?

[elwaylite]

Im think about the Japan Starship Troopers. Ive never ordered a foreign title but I know many do. Are they in english and subbed for Japan?

Just wondering because I have no idea about the best route.

Would there be an option to watch it without subs? Like the foreign vids we get in the US.

If so I think I might go ahead and buy it. Id rather have it now than wait for extra features.

Sometimes they do, but the original language track is always included. For some suggestions for buying from Japan there's www.Amazon.co.jp (only offers express shipping even though you get a discount on preorders), www.cdjapan.co.jp, www.yesasia.com (free shipping, but pads the prices). There's also www.hmv.co.jp, but I haven't used them much. The Japanese language sites have english interfaces you can use to do ordering - do a search in the page for english and you'll find a link to change the interface. Amazon.co.jp will also let you use your amazon.com login without having to re-register.
