This is supposed to be third "volume," right?

What a waste of an announcement.
If people want to buy it on DVD so bad then they could just buy one of the Geneon releases since they're still available everywhere (and not just at Right Stuf either). If they were trying to compete with FUNi to see who can re-release an anime in the lowest quality possible then FUNi won that one with their Dragon Ball Z orange brick masters going on Blu-ray which also isn't worth spending money on again.
Comic-Con was disappointing on both anime & video game sides (also looking at Capcom) and i hope we hear better license announcements from both Bandai & FUNi at Otakon.

I think you meant September 20th not 30th because the 30th isn't even on a Tuesday.

I actually would like a re-release of Akira but on Blu-ray. The Bandai Visual version was dubtitled and I prefer the subtitle track I have on my Geneon DVDs.

Yeah, that's pretty much why i'm keeping my special edition DVDs as well as the Blu-ray and as soon as i get an extra 3-disc Blu-ray case, i'll be using it as a combo pack.

Akira die-hards should hunt down the first pressing of the Blu-ray. That booklet it comes with is godly. A very informative read if I do say so myself.

Good to see Bandai hasn't forgotten about Star Driver, then. The lack of talk about it since they got the licensed had me worried it'd be another Bandai no-show.
