Any plans on Astroboy (2003) DVD's?

[Cheesemon]

I'm thinking of buying this R2 boxset:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002MFJ4I/

which covers the final episodes of the new Astroboy. Of course, it doesn't come with English subs though, so I'm wondering if whoever's responsible for the American distribution of Astroboy plans to release the episodes on DVD's? What are the odds of a Japanese language track? Is it even being shown anymore on TV? (I don't see it listed on FoxKids or FoxBox . .)

Thanks in advance!

Well Korean Region 3 has a boxset of Astroboy with English subtitles. And its much cheaper than the Japanese version. Austraila area has Astro Boy licensed, so I assume it has the dub and sub as well. I hope its just a matter of time till Region 1 gets it! I really want to see this! Sony has it, so I have no idea what they will do.

I don't know if its still on TV...
