There are three Dragon Ball movies, 13 for Dragon Ball Z and one for Dragon Ball GT. All of which have been among the top-rated anime releases in the United States." Either they don't count the DBZ TV specials as movies anymore, or they took out either one TV special and one movie, or two movies, both of which I doubt. I wonder which Dragon Ball movie they don't count though, the 10th aniversary special, or the first movie, which they don't own distribution rights to.
Erm, what were they thinking here? There's no GT-movie... Sure, you have the TV-special, but they didn't mention that for Z... The correct count, would be like this: 4 DB movies, 13 DBZ-movies, 2 DBZ TV-specials and one DBGT TV-special.

Seriously, FUNI don't seem to care much about giving correct info, do they?

When I used to have faith in them, I remember reading a con report of a FUNimation panel at AnimeNation (it might have been taken down since then. Subsequently, AnimeNation sucks ;) ), and someone asked when the rest of the DBZ discs would be out (Cell Games, UUEs, Saiyaman and a few others were not released at this point), to which they said "end of the year!". I think this was around the same time they announced getting the Saiyan/Namek sagas back in their pocket. Either way, this was around 2003-2004, and of course, they didn't live up to their promises then either.
