Is the Region 2 DVD really worth paying extra $$$ for?
Limited edition comes with beautifully illustrated DVD cover and booklet (or liner notes as they call it), a short manga, a jacket for an upcoming light novel (I think), a cute water-squirting-sunshine-yellow rubber ducky (with thick KISS ME NOW lips) XD and -uncensored- Junjou episodes 1 & 2, non-TV broadcast special video and trailers.
If you are a hardcore fan, it is a no brainer. Of cos it is worth it! I’m not a hardcore fan but I’m pretty much sold anyway ^^” The whole package is lovely. Girls are just suckers for pretty things. But I’ll be even happier if it was cheaper tho… 6600 yen is (T-T) ~$~
Anyway, video and sound quality is great as can be expected, so yeah no complaints there.
As for the uncensored scenes in episodes 1 and 2… I personally don’t think they are explicit, so the stunt they pulled for the TV broadcast by obscuring them was probably erring on the overly cautious side. *shrug* HOWEVER! The Egoist arc may be a different matter cos from the uncensored trailer… gosh… they look pretty hot.
View the *cough* uncensored *cough* DVD-only Trailers in Vol. 1 for…
1. Episode 2 (Usami x Misaki)
2. Episode 3 (Nowaki x Hiroki)
(So NOW we know what we were missing while watching the tv broadcast) eee I sound like such a perv… woohoo~ watch out for Vol. 2 DVD end August.
I can’t rip the whole DVD… so please don’t ask me to… ^^”

Hope this helps!
Is all of this stuff in Japan
and….how much is yen worth now? I know its Japanese $ but…..how much would it be if I had 169 USD??…..I’m confused >.< and its impossible to find any of this stuff in America :< Someone please help me!!!!????
Yeah, I bought the Japanese DVDs off online stores that ship internationally… really nice to own but does burn a big hole in the wallet. So in this case, $$$ bought me some happiness ^^;;; until I saw my bank account lol~ DX
Using online currency calculator, 169USD = 15,248 Yen
If you can’t use an online store, the best bet would be your local Japanese bookstore (like Kinokuniya?) or manga/anime shops
