News about the blu-ray releases has been added to the official site along with full details on the TV and movie boxes.
The series is on 4 dual-layer discs, 6 episodes per disc, with the extras on a separate single-layer disc. They will be split between a triple-disc and a double-disc case together in a box.
Video is encoded in 1080i MPEG-4 AVC, except some of the extras which are 480i MPEG-2.
It actually does have subtitles, but unfortunately only Japanese.
The three movies are each on dual-layer discs in a triple-disc case with the extras on a single-layer disc in a separate case. Again encoded in 1080i MPEG-4 with some 480i extras.
Now here is the good news - while the movies don't in fact include an English dub (since none exists), they will have English subtitles.
[edit]
There are also pages for the sets in the movie and original series sections of the site. Same information, but including for completeness:

Yes Asia are listing the movies - but oddly not yet the series despite that being the earlier release

Price in dollars is currently $233.49 which they estimate at £142.36 including shipping and import duty etc.
At Amazon with pre-order discount it is ￥16,162. With shipping and less Japanese sales tax that comes to ￥18,392 which is £121.59 at current exchange rates. Adding duty, VAT and Fedex admin fees brings that up to around £153.91 so Yesasia actually still does seem to be the cheapest option.
Series box is on Yes Asia now:
http://www.yesasia.com/global/1021302224-0-0-0-en/info.html
Movies now down to ￥15,851 and the series ￥27,173 on Amazon.
Yes Asia's current conversion estimate for the series is £242.23
Price including shipping from Amazon is £194.21 according to UCC. I think I'd pay import duty at 5% along with VAT at 15% which, including £8 handling from Fedex, comes to £241.05.
The only thing I'd gain from Amazon is speed.
