This is next on my buy list.

I've just spent way too much money on getting something that can play blurays, all so I could finally watch the original OVA, which I've been trying to get hold of for years.

I'm also curious as to what order to watch this show, is it both OVA's and then the series? Or OVA 1, series OVA 2 and were do the "Manga Movies" fit in?

There are three separate continuities:

1) the manga continuity, which is its own thing.
2) the TV continuity, which is the TV series + the 16-episode The New Files OVA, which is a direct sequel.
3) the Early Days continuity, which is the 7-episode Early Days OVA + the three films, plus Patlabor: The Next Generation if that ever gets more than one episode fansubbed. That said, there isn't actually much continuity between Early Days and the films, or between each film individually.

Pick one, read/watch everything in that continuity in the listed order, repeat.

Worth noting that there's going to be a Patlabor TV simulwatch at some point in the near future.

The Patlabor Reboot short is being streamed for free until Feb 28, 2017. It's good!

There's a little button under the video for English subs.

Current mood: insanely mad this is just a 6.5mn short and not a TV series or at least a film. :argh::argh::argh:

Also, the new commander and handler are insanely good.

I like it because it's plausible and doesn't make division 2 look like total clowns, because it's not like old neighbourhoods would have been built with labors in mind.
