I knew about this since late March, and I figured this movie would get a blu-ray release since Kaze (the co-licensor of Bleach along with Viz Europe) releases the first two bleach movies on blu-ray a few weeks ago. Still wonderful announcement, and people in Japan can watch the movie in english since both Japan and the US have the same Blu-ray region. It is also nice that an anime actually made in HD (cough Bones) is being released in HD. This increases my hopes for the actual series to be released on Blu-ray.
