I was going through HMV Japan's webpage and noticed a listing for "Rent" in Blu-ray.

Has anyone seen the Blu-Ray version?

I noticed the soundtrack is in PCM. Does it sound as good as I imagine?

While I havent seen it myself, I did see this brief review posted on CDJapan:

""This is a great transfer of a decent movie. Rent had its flaws, but is still a great watch. This is especially true of lovers of great music. This Blu-ray disc has provided a good upgrade from the standard DVD edition. And, it is a great buy for Americans as it has both english and Japanese menus. And, don't worry, it has the same region code as all merican blu-rays, so you won't have any trouble playing it on your player. ""

Both reviews on Amazon.co.jp are also 5/5 stars, so it shouldn't be too bad!

I'm really looking forward to Rent on BD...if it doesn't get announced sometime soon, I'll think about importing this.
