It looks like I may have found a (very expensive) way to subscribe to Best Motoring DVD magazine in the US.

Does anyone living in Japan have a Japanese BM DVD? The one that is released monthly?

I was wondering whether or not it has any sort of subtitle menu. I only ask because DVD's tend to have subtitle options in any/all regions, many Japanese DVD's included, and English is generally the most common subtitle option.

Does anyone have one to check?

I dont know of any japanese dvd's that are actually japan region code 2 that include subtitles.

You can get the HK or region 0 dvd's that include english as an subtitle option.

you can order that stuff from amazon japan also.

only thing that sucks is that the only shipping option is fedex express international.

so if you order 3 dvd's for like 30 bucks the shipping is also 30 dollars.

I wonder if there's an HK or "Asian" release of the BMI DVD magazine that has subs....


It would've cost me about $400 for the 1-year subscription, including airmail. That comes out to about $33 per disc, which actually isn't that bad, IMO.

No the HK ones are only going to have chinese subs.

I have a few and my wife has to tell me what they are talking about.

The best way is wait for the americanized ones to be translated or get a jap gf.
