Japanese sites have all started listing the DVD and Blu-ray home release of the new film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, which gives us an impressive glimpse at all of the extras coming along with both the standard and “Limited Edition” versions!
The standard edition on both DVD and Blu-ray will come in a special slipcase cover, which somewhat strangely says “The Battle of Gods” on the spine and case despite the cover of the movie sticking with the standard “Battle of Gods” (sans-“the”) title.
The “Limited Edition” version on both DVD and Blu-ray will come with a slew of extras. In addition to the main feature disc (which will contain a “trailer collection” and “design materials collection”), the bonus disc (which will be a DVD regardless of which version you buy) has a few great things currently planned: a recording studio report, an interview collection, and a “Day 1 on-stage greeting” (the last of which probably refers to the one at Marunouchi Toei in Tokyo). In terms of physical extras, we can look forward to a “Super Saiyan God three-dimensional wall figure”, a postcard set of all 18 theatrical features, and a special booklet.
Amazon Japan has their own exclusive version of the “Limited Edition” Blu-ray release (priced at the same ¥9,240, but without any discount; the non-exclusive “Limited Edition” is currently a whopping ¥2,402-off) that comes with a steelbook:
The movie is currently available for pre-order in various versions on the following websites, and is officially due out 13 September 2013:
- Blu-ray Limited Edition (Amazon Japan Exclusive) – ¥9,240: Amazon Japan
- Blu-ray Limited Edition – ¥9,240: Amazon Japan | CDJapan
- Blu-ray Standard Edition – ¥5,040: Amazon Japan | CDJapan
- DVD Limited Edition – ¥8,190: Amazon Japan | CDJapan
- DVD Standard Edition – ¥3,990: Amazon Japan | CDJapan
CDJapan indicates that first-press editions will also come with a poster, so get those pre-orders in soon if you are interested!

Do you recommend CD Japan or Amazon?
Whats sad is that when it does come over here It’ll probably most likely be just some add-on to a cheap Kinect game instead of being a really cool box set like this. 🙁
It depends, I just placed my order on Amazon mainly just because I buy everything on amazon and it’s great as I can log onto amazon USA and JP with the same account so my payment details are always the same. I’ve only bought the Kanzenban’s from CD-Japan in one order to save on shipping.
I can’t wait to pop this into my ps3^^
My biggest question is, what’s the chance of this having English subs?! 😮
What’s the chance of an English movie having Japanese subtitles? 😉 In other words, not very high.
Pre-ordered the limited edition bluray on CDJapan with FedEX shipping. Very much looking forward to it. X3
So, the Amazon limited edition version has more extras than the others?
@sangofe:
It comes with a Steelbook, as mentioned in the news post.
Is the Steelbook the thing to the right upper corner in the image, or the left?

So, earlier today I went and pre-ordered the limited edition DVD. I was tempted to go for the Blu-Ray, but I figured with the DVD I can screencap things using my computer’s DVD drive.
So, Blu-Ray can wait until we get an English release, I suppose! Really hope we get some word on Funi being involved on this soon, or at the very least, Fox using their voice talent.
If you get Google to translate the standard or limited edition blu-ray pages on Amazon, the first review is titled “Oh the crust!” I just wanted to point that out. 😀

It’s this thing:

Oh, thanks. I guess I was a bit blind for not seeing it after reading the newspost… I just got confused in (what was in the parentheses)
So, if you choose the limited edition blu ray without the steel box, you get it 2402 yen cheaper?
I seen that CDJapan indicated that first press releases will come with a poster, What about Amazon will it also come with a poster since its a first press release also?
I’m disappointed at the little official art this movie has received. Only the image of Goku of the teaser, the movie poster and the characters designs… I’m tired of seeing them over and over again.
