The flagship store of otaku goods retailer Gamers is currently displaying the upcoming Card Captor Sakura BD release side by side with the older DVD master.

Not a huge amount of detail can be seen by these smaller resolution photos of a store display (shown below), but fellow fans of the well regarded shoujo classic should find the coming release of the BD version to be happy news.

The Card Captor Sakura BD version will be released in two boxsets, the first, Card Captor Sakura: Clow Cards Chapter will be available in March for around ¥62,000. The subsequent release that finishes the series after Sakura has become master of the Clow Cards, Card Captor Sakura: Sakura Cards Chapter, will be released in June for around ¥38,000.

The boxsets will be the only way to purchase the BD version, as there are currently no plans announced to release it in individual volumes. Certainly many fans must fondly remember the show well enough to pay such a princely sum for the whole collection?

The new BD version display is viewable on the 2nd floor of Gamer’s main Akihabara store.

    You must be new to the ripoff world of Japanese media releases.

    Hope an American company picks it up. I've got the DVDs, but a blu ray is fine too.

    I've been aware of the ridiculous prices of Japanese DVDs for several years now, although I haven't kept up with BR prices. After looking at Amazon.jp, I see that the price is more or less on par for what other BR media sells for. Live and learn I guess.

    Hmm... the colour of the HD looks more crisp, and the lines look more sharper and bolder than the standard definition.

    CCS BD is made of WIN!!!

    But a price tag of ¥100k+ for both seasons is making my wallet cry but it's an investment

    The very first one that subsequently hooked me onto Nanoha. Looking forward to a PS3 and the BD version!

    $1,000 for the whole series? As much as I like CCS, I think dropping a Grover Cleveland for the whole series is a bit dumb when I rent the whole series on Netflix.

    Minky Momo or possibly Runrun is the mother of all loli.
    And 100.000 yen is not that expensive when you consider it's over 100 episodes. 1000 yen/episode is cheap, in fact.
