SASUKE 30 is available here, although I warn you it is not cheap (>100$ US)
www.amazon.com/Variety-Sasuke-History-Special-TCED-2613/dp/B00UHB26FO

SASUKE 35 is available to stream, please follow the guide here:
sasukemaniac.proboards.com/thread/7276/guide-streaming-sasuke-service-paravi

SASUKE (28 I think) is currently streaming on demand in HD with the UK dub here, although you'll need to VPN into Singapore

Other than the above options, there are no legal ways to watch these shows other than catching them on one of the many networks that still streams them (Channel 5 Singapore, Challenge UK, Occasionally TBS Channel 2).

At this point it is unlikely that a DVD release will come before the show has ended. It is slightly more possible that they will end up on Paravi first, but I wouldn't count on that either.

Outside of the Sasuke 30 DVD that was produced in Japan there are no legal physical copies of Sasuke. I was told point blank that they won't release M9 versions of Sasuke - ever. That is due in large part to a licensing nightmare they don't want to engage in. They had no releases signed for physical copies with the major talent (specially the well known announcers and the talent they invited) and to do that now would be financially crippling negating any financial windfall they would have gotten by selling the copies. They wanted to do 28+ (which is why they bought their own generic sounding music) but that ended in disaster when they did Sasuke 30's DVD and it didn't sell well. It was doomed from the start since they made them way too expensive and had them region-locked to Japan just about negating any real sale outside of Japan. So based on that failure they vowed to never do it again in Japan. They aren't very savvy over there when it comes to merchandising sadly. No matter how hard we petitioned them, they don't want to deal with the frustrations of being responsible for physical copies when they have had terrible experiences.
