US fans of Studio Ghibli rejoice! Walter Disney HE announced to finally bring Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind to North America on Blu-ray Disc on March 8, 2011.
The 1984 masterpiece is already available on Blu-ray Disc in Japan, UK and Australia. While latter ones are locked to Region B (confirmed for the UK disc, but I bet Madman will use the same for their Australian release), the amazing Japanese release is region free but could put many fans off because of its high price. So the upcoming US Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack with the following features and temporary specs should please most region A buyers. Hopefully Disney will add a losless Japanese audio track this time...

They didn't include the ported and subtitled special features from the Japanese disc that the UK got. Would much rather have had those features than ANOTHER COPY OF THE DVD I ALREADY OWN.
It puzzles me how people are willing to limit themselves by accepting region codes.
Also, of course they wouldn't use the beautiful japanese box art in the west. We're far too barbaric for that.
They didn't include spanish subtitles.....
