    Ok is there an english language version of itunes for Japanese movies - mainly Godzilla movies?

    Main reason I ask is I want to be able to buy a download of Godzilla 1984 (aka Godzilla 1985 here with Raymond Burr but I want the original Japanese version).

    I have checked and there is a bluray release of this movie now. But it is only at foreign distributors not at American stores. And it is in Japanese only without English subtitles. Would a Region A bluray disc play in a North American PS3?

    Before you ask I do have an imported Hong Kong release of the movie on dvd. However it is only in stereo and not in 5.1. Also I don't want to pay upwards of 60.00 for a single movie (yes I saw a price like that at yesasia.com or one of the other import websites). Edit - the dvd I have right now DOES have english subtitles at least however it is letterboxed and when I use the tv zoom feature it crops off the subtitles - it has other subtitles on top of the english ones making them disapear when zoomed in for a proper 16:9 effect.

    Is there a legal place to buy a high def download of Return of Godzilla (the 1984 release)?

    I have checked the Playstation store on my ps3 and it is not available. I also checked amazon.com, itunes, and zune marketplace and did not find it.

    Are there places to legally buy this movie at a reasonable price without buying the disc? DOWNLOADS ONLY please. I may resort to buying the bluray and gambling that my liteon bluray rom will read it on the pc. BUT I want to buy online for download first if it all possible.

    Thanks for the info.

    FYI this would be useful for some hard to find anime's I've been looking for as well that I've bumped into on youtube. Thanks.

    Edit - oh and also I did click the Japan link in Itunes but I was only able to access music in itunes and unfortunately it was all in Japanese.

    Edit 2 - and fyi I am MOSTLY interested in a 5.1 track version. I have an old vhs of the 1985 American dubbed version that I recently transferred to dvd and I have my import dvd but both are stereo so 5.1 is what I want. But I don't want to pay more than 20.00 or so - about the price of a brand new bd release - anything more that for a single movie is just asking way too much when I already have two copies of it.

    Oh and I did check ebay and didn't see the Japanese bluray release only the import dvd I already have that isn't 5.1.
