Nice. :o

Y'know, you could've gotten one of the Madman fatpacks for around the same price. :P
With the state of the Australian dollar, they're clocking in at about $65 USD a pop.

Anyway, my most recent purchase was Burst Limit, which I picked up second hand for fifty bucks (retail is still $90 here) and I do love getting a game second hand that looks like it's been played once.

I'm thinking of buying myself a pink scouter for Christmas. Too bad I'm so poor at the moment... Why won't Santa himself give me anything :(

I haven't checked the content yet, but I guess it's the one has different voice actors and Mexican Head Chala song for the opening.
Also on yahoo japan?

Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Movie 13, and the first Ultimate Uncut DVD with episodes 1-3 of DBZ two Christmases ago.

I am in a DB rut.

Yep. He's gonna catch hell trying to get those other sets now.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I'm getting it for X-mas, I was disappointed about the size of the thing that holds it to your head, and took me a while to learn that it's adjustable.

And it's not pink! It's sort of lightish red...

Have you played it yet? If not, you'll soon understand why it was only played once ;p

Oh, come on! It wasn't that bad! It was fairly entertaining... For one play-through.

Anyways, I bought Kanzenban 11 and DBGT Season 1.

I know what you mean. I got it during the summer but only made it 3/4 of the way through the Cell Saga before forgetting about it entirely. Recently tried picking it back up but I’ve been too busy and it isn’t addicting enough to really make me want to complete it. :P

I’m thinking about making Infinite World one of my next items this Christmas; is that any better?

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with just about every aspect of the game (I wanted to kill myself during the Broli "storyline"), though the graphics are pretty and the music was great.

I'm actually really looking forward to Infinite World, I found the changes to the fighting mechanics to be a little clunky in Burst Limit, so I'm looking forward to revisiting Budokai 3 with new characters.

I don't see myself being too disappointed in Burst Limit, since I even loved Budokai 2.

They opend a Kinokuniya store in Dubai recently :D

I went there few days ago, and to be honest, I was about to faint from all the mangas they were selling!! I tried really hard to control my self :shock:

I bought from them Dr. Slump vol. 3 - 13 minus vol.8, Cowa, Gon vol. 1 and two InuYasha books.

Today, I went deeper in the shop, and I came across a whole section for Japanese books, and I found lots and lots of Japanese mangas :shock:

I looked around for a while, but I couldn't find what I want... and while I was ready to leave the shop, I saw mangas in Chinese!!

And guess what I found... Dragon Ball Kanzenban!! Chinese edition of the Kanzenban!! I wanted to take more than one, but I didn't know if it got what the Japanese Kanzenban had, so I bought the 1st one only... And thank God they were the same as the Japanese edition, except that all the dialog is in Chinese ((which kinda fit the setting?!))

I don't think I've gotten anything since the VIZ translation of the first Daizenshuu came out. I do plan on getting Dragonbal DS, though.

Jesus! I want more English Daizenshuus! I just ordered seasons 7 and 8 on Amazon.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.
