I got season five of the orange bricks. I know that there are some many irritating factors about these, but I gotta say season fave is awful! Sometimes the crappy "remastering" made me skip the scene or even made me turn off the the DVD player. I'd rather buy all the individual discs than that piece of shit. Yes shit Funimation!
I have a couple of those discs, and I like them much better than the foe remastered bricks. If you have a choice, don't buy this steaming pile of crap.

Got Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for x-mas. LOVE IT. Got me re-obsessed enough with DB to order seasons 1+2 of Z off Amazon.ca last night (seasons 1,2, and 4 are only $24.99 CDN. 3 and 5 are crazy expensive, though. T_T). When my brother's pay check comes in, he'll be getting season 4 and I'll be getting GT season 1 (I'm waiting so we can combine shipping).

Next week's going to be good to me: on Tuesday I get seasons 1 and 2 of Z. That same day, I'll most likely be ordering seasons 4 and GT 1, and it's also on that day that Volume 17 of Slump and Galactica season 4.0 get shipped out. :D

As much as I complain about Burst Limit, I actually prefer it to Infinite world, at least the fighting mechanics aren't completely broken.

I want to unlock all the characters, but I also don't want to play it again.

DBZ VIZ volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

I suppose if I were smart and wanted to save money I'd just buy the Viz Bigs, but they wouldn't look as good next to my 16 volumes of Dragonball, plus (and this is basically the real reason) they don't have the rest of the spine image.

Why don't you wait to buy the manga box set?

I just recently got myself DragonBall Origins, DBZ Season Seven, and GT Season One. I am a happy little fanboy.

Well I completely forgot about that for one thing :P . Besides my crummy memory though I just prefer to buy it in little bursts, a few volumes at a time. Plus, I planned to hold off for a while after the Freeza stuff.

If only I had found that review first. I read most of the video game site reviews beforehand, but they’re usually negative regardless so I didn’t really take them seriously. As a “best-of Budokai” I figured the game was finally getting back to how it was in B3, which to me was the highlight of the fighting series.

My sentiments exactly. I dunno, though; IW might just drive me back to BL. Especially considering the fact that one of my two PS2 controllers is broken (I have the PS3 model that doesn’t support PS2 titles). Versus mode is really the only thing that could motivate me into wanting to play through the story.

I just bought Dragon Ball: Origins today with a gift card I got for Christmas.

Also, if it counts, I bought Blue Dragon used for five bucks.

Where'd you buy it? I've been looking all over the net and it seems to be out of stock everywhere, but Ebay.

Isn't it the best feeling in the world when you realize you own the entire series? :)

Albeit, a bittersweet one, since you also realize you have no other DB manga to look forward to. :cry:

Damn, that's a 4,000 mile drive for me. I think I'll just use Ebay.:lol:

I found most of them here for $10 a piece. Baby and Trunks are the only figures out of stock. I really want Baby though. He looks sexy(in a non-homosexual way).

They won't arrive for awhile (I'll post pics when I do get them), but I just now bought the following online:

- A senzu bag
- Super Butouden (link)
- Super Butouden 2 (link)
- Super Saiya Densetsu (link)

They'll probably take a week or more to get here. In the meantime, I'm gonna go pick up an FC Twin at a local shop (it plays NES, SNES, and SFC games, but you'll need a converter for FC games), wait for TMNT 4 to arrive, and satisfy my beat-em-up and fighting desires on Double Dragon 2, Karate Champ, and Street Fighter 2 in the meantime.
