This widescreen makes me so sad.

The only reason I can fathom for buying Season 2 now is to mst those "half-redubbed" eps that make up the second half of the set.

Eight bucks.

That MIGHT verge on an acceptable price for this.

FYE will buy Season 1 from you for $10. If Best Buy is selling for less than the buyback value then I guess it's worth it.

That's like 24 cents per episode.

Yeah, I bought it.

Every man has a price he can be bought for. My price is apparently eight dollars.

Oh, fuck! What did my credit card just do?

I guess I'll have to live with giving FUNimation $8.

[quote="Castor Troy"]It looks like they're spewing out foam all over their bodies. :x[/quote]

You're right they do, though now that I think about it the script seems to match what's going on and with just a little altering and you would get...

*Bulma, Krilliun and Gohan's ship to Namek starts shaking*

Krilliun: "Bulma something's happening to your clothes"

Bulma: "Don't worry Krilliun this is just a fault by Funimations remastering progress. Don't be a wimp"

Krilliun: "I mean really, how can she sleep through all this shaking"

*Bulma falls on Krilliuns croutch whilst the ship turns upsidedown*

Krilliun "I think we've regained our outlines back"

*Bulma sees Krilliun on her lap and slaps him in the face"

*SLAP* LOL :lol:

This development makes me laugh, even if it means FUNimation will probably see a boost in sales (assuming Best Buy honors this price). Too bad it won't put a dent in their profits, seeing as economics doesn't work that way >_>;;

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

I admit, for 35 timed scripts from Daimao, $8.00 is a steal. And since I'm a business customer, they have to honor this price for me ;p

Edit: Looks like they took it down ("Sold Out"). What a shock ;p

It says it's "sold out" on Best Buy's page now. Good work, team.

Leave it to a price typo to rake in the buyers :D. Should I expect some YouTube videos of the set being destroyed, shortly?

Also, I PM'd Selmod a while back, who replied saying that he/she (sorry, I forget) is working on a custom for the season 2 set.

EDIT: (checks the posting times of those who got the set for $8)
Even when including the time zones into that, what the heck are you guys doing posting online so early? (Or maybe this is a normal thing and I just haven't noticed it :oops:.)

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by FUNimation Productions
That was a great clip you had once.

I dont understand why they would take down a clip of a show, it wasn't the whole episode. Eh, they took down my fan made Vegeta TV special to a while ago. :cry:

Woah, 8 bucks? Holy fuck.

Too bad I still bought it for $34.99. READ: To complete the series.

I just remembered that the set officially comes out today. Has anyone seen it at their local stores? If so, was it drawing anyone's attention? A while back, I saw the first orange brick at my local Target, but I was the only one I noticed who actually checked out it.
