Well, the thread title certainly begs to differ, as does the initial post.

Even the first post had the word "supposedly" in bold. We know, but we're talking about it anyway.

I don't know why FUNimation would re-release all of DBZ, the movies, and all of GT unless their DB release would soon follow. A bit weird if you ask me. They are releasing Z, GT, and the movies simultaneously. Would be weird if the Dragon Ball Season sets came out years from after Z, GT, and the movies finished. But whatever. I know lots of people don't have them on DVD and I hope they do get the rights to the first 13 episodes soon because it really is unfair to fans.

With that being said, who knows when they'll get the rights to the first 13 episodes? Or they could have an Australian release of the Season Sets :-p

Dragon Ball didn't have single DVD releases with only three episodes per disc like Z and GT did. Dragon Ball had its episodes released as "sagas." DBZ was also not available entirely on DVD until now. GT was mainly split between "regular" episodes and "lost" episodes. FUNi resolved both of these issues by releasing box sets.

Are madman's fat packs playable in a standard dvd player? I just might purchase those.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

You'll need a region free DVD player.

Wikipedia says...
"Funimation plans on releasing box sets of Dragon Ball when Lionsgate's license of the first movie and 13 episodes expires in 2010.[citation needed]"

I won't believe it unless there is a citation.

FUNimation never said such a thing. The very fact that there is no other source besides Wiki should say it's a total lie.

Hell, half the shit for DB on Wiki is mangled to high hell.

I usually trust Wiki, but no source is bad. Plus, this is the Dragonball page on Wikipedia. They go by the dub and funi facts, thus the Wiki can be bad.

Well, the opening post said "supposedly" as opposed to "O HAY GUISE DB IZ KEWL THER PUTN IT ON DVD IN 2010 LAWL." So, I think the question is if the DVDs came out, would you get them?

Remember: IF.

Some of you know that the sets I ordered came with two Saga of Goku Disc 1's rather than disc 1 and 2, I asked for a replacement disc and today I got a card in the mail, telling me to pay Custom Charges, £20.
I don't have money for that!
What the fuck is wrong with them? It's was their fault for sending me something with the second disc missing.
And I have a week to pay it, otherwise they send it back.

Tell them that you refuse to pay for their mistake, Sanity are absolute motherfuckers and I encourage anyone looking to import the DB sets to go directly through Madman, Sanity are one of the worst retailers in the country, more often than not they sell above RRP, just because they expect people to buy it from them.

Why did Funimation ever agree to such a bad deal?

Well, back in 1995... FUNimation was basically nothing. Nothing at all. A crap company with crap licenses and no ability to distribute anything. I know it's hard to imagine in this day and age, but it's true.

Unless Funi's Dragonball season sets have DBox footage, I won't buy them. As it stands now I'm only two sets away from finishing Dragonball via the 2 disk sets.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
