I'm kinda curious if any actually make it to store shelves in Japan. If so, will they be snapped up on the day of release, or is it just people from outside of Japan that are ordering all of these?

exactly what is the running time for the Japanese version. IMDB eludes to:
Quentin Tarantino prepared a more graphic version of the film for Asian audiences. Only a few minutes longer, the film includes several extra violent moments, a longer animated sequence
I thought I had read somewhere that it's 113 minutes, two minutes longer than the American R-rated cut.
Secondly of the scenes that are in Japanese, will there be English subtitles?

I'm not sure. The R3 isn't dubbed - so it should have the original English language track as well as Korean and English subtitles.
I'll have it in my hands in about two weeks, so I guess I'll find out then.

The R3 is supposed to have more special features than the R1 or R2, though, unless the R1 really *does* have the on-again-off-again subtitle trivia track (that is not listed as a feature on anything official from the studio but somehow showed up in a feature list on several retailers).

Stupid question....
I must have missed something, but where can the R3 version be ordered?

I didn't come to that conclusion. YOU did. All I said was that the disc will have English subtitles. They'll probably run the entire length of the film, for the Japanese parts as well as the English parts.

What exactly does 'proper' subtitles mean, you couldn't be more vague. But whatever, go back to bitching about dvdprofiler.

jough,
Why don't you let us know where you ordered the R3 version? I'm pretty sure that a lot of people on this forum would be interested in the R3 if it has more special features, and because Korean dvds don't cost as much as Japanese dvds.

Check it out! KB boxset still available at sensasian.com. and it's only $82.99. A whole lot cheaper than the $209.99 that Yesasia is charging. I know there's a whole lot of you still looking for this!

I can't remember the other thread but someone who did pre-order got an e-mail saying it will not be released until April 16th also. It was supposed to have been released the last week of February.
As for Sensasian.com--I haven't dealt with them, so I don't know about their service, but if I were still looking for this set at a decent price I'd still pre-order it from them. And if you find out they suck you can always cancel it.
