I've already watched every episode from the series (downloaded from torrent
sites), but wanted to buy an official box since I feel bad about not having
the original stuff.

I wanted to know if there is a definitive dvd/bluray box edition. I always
struggled with finding decent quality video/audio.

Ideally there would be a Blu-ray collection in 720p at least and with 5.1 DTS
Japanese audio.

By making a quick search on ebay, I found [this
one](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Initial-D-COMPLETE-BD-BOX-Vol-1-Blu-
ray-4988064741533-AVXA-74153-Anime-/400660945522?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d4940da72),
which is scheduled to release in a few days, but I don't know exactly it's
specifications.

Where should I be looking for this stuff? It would obviously be ideal if
English subtitles were available, but I guess I'm stuck with Japanese releases
if quality is concerned.
