actually I found you can get DVDs here
http://www.battleroyaledvd.com
Please don't go to that site. They are all bootlegs.
The top pic that I saw for BRII was from a boot that I bid on eBay. I was new to eBay and didn't know that more illegal than legal goods filter through that site.
The BR disc I think 3rd one down with the tan cover is a bootleg of the SE 2 disc's Korean version.
If you buy the bootlegs, you will be stuck with DVD-5 meaning compressed video. You can't choose some options available with legit releases such as subtitle options or sound options.
Here is a link to the legit versions I own. They are a few bucks more, but worth it, IMHO.
For the original Battle Royale :

While the subtitles in the new scenes they added leave much to be desired, you can still see what is said. Honestly, I don't think they really add that much to the film, so all I care about it the regular scenes where the subs are top-notch. I wish that they used a different font as the Korean subs are crisp and clear, but the English seem a bit blocky. It is a Korean dish but somehow managed not to be region coded. This will play in any DVD player. 2nd disc is not subbed at all in the special features like the Tartan UK PAL, and NTSC versions are, but overall, I think the first disc is what most folks will go for, and it has one of the best transfers I've seen. And it is DTS.

This is the Chinese version of BRII. Everything from the picture to the subtitles is excellent. It is also a legit release, not like those on Battleroyaledvd.com. It is a 2 disc set that has subs for the special features and the film on the first disc. It's encoded in DTS as well, which is nice. This is a region 3 disc, so you need a Pro Action Replay to run it on a PS2 or a region free DVD player.
Hope it helps.
