  Howl's Moving Castle Blu-ray (Japan import)

Is it worth buying? I really want to see Howl's Moving Castle on Blu-ray, but don't see a release date for the U.S.

There's a few things I'm tentative about. The first is the navigation around menus. I cannot read or understand Japanese at all, so I'm hoping the menus are easy to navigate.

The second thing is the audio quality. It seems you get the original Japanese track with DTS-HD audio, but then the English track is just DTS (no HD). I am assuming it is similar audio quality to DVD.

A third thing I'm tentative about is the cost ($87). Unless I can use this Blu-ray in a practical way, I'm not sure if $87 is worth what I get. But then I'm looking down the barrel of waiting a long time for the possible U.S. release.

Has anyone had experience with this Blu-ray release?

Thank you.

It should already be out in the US already, it is out in the UK already, normally things like this are always released in the US first!!
