I just hope they redo their 5.1 surround sound mix. The earlier sets mix was awful as the sound effects drowned out the music and the voices. I hope they either remix it, or make it in stereo...

Also I just thought of something... What if they actually include the original FUNimation '99 dub in it's unaltered "glory" instead of the "re-dub" with Faulconer's music?

5.1 all the way. And yeah, I'm hoping for a better mixing, too.

Man, this fall is going to be expensive...
Lets See


The Complete Beatles Catalog in Stereo and Mono - $450 USD
The Beatles Rock Band - $60 USD
Dragon Ball Season 1 - $35 USD
Dragon Box Z Volume 1 - $60 USD (My assumed Amazon Price) $80 USD Retail.
All the numerous PS3/Xbox 360 Games coming in the fall - About $300
Shit, I'm going to be poor for the holidays!
This is only in three months...oi...

Since the video won't be messed with, Progressive Video is a definite for this set. This will appease those who watch DVD's on Laptops Computers, lower end DVD players hooked to an HDTV.

I hear 'ya! I'm actually looking at what I can sacrifice so that I'm not broke. For example, I'm not going to get the Kai Blu-Rays anymore. There's some comics I'm not getting. There's some games I'm skipping out on... Yeah, this is an important release!

To be fair, it should have all audio options. I wouldn't want anyone to be dismissed about this version.
This version could be absolutely perfect and someone here will still have a problem with some weird obscure little thing. I don't particularly care if the broadcast music is on there because I won't be watching the broadcast version. At all.

Yeah. I'm kinda nerdy like that.

If the broadcast version is on there, then whatever. That's nice for everyone who wants it.
I will personally bitch slap anybody that complains about this. Also, I won't be watching the broadcast version. Didn't care for it when I saw it on TV.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

169 - 211
212 - 251
252 - 291
That looks better.

Okay so this basically destroys any DB KAI related release.

My mind is fucking blown.
But I missed the boat it seems, I'll still be snatching these right up.
One concern of mine though, is will it be region free like the England-friendly Season Sets?

Being as I was going to buy them, yes.

This is THE release. Everything else can wait.

From the look of things, they haven't. I'm willing to give hope that they will do this release right. I got no reason not to.

Wow, I don't feel screwed over at alllll. Ya know, after buying 9 sets of "The way it was meant to be scene". I knew it, I fucking knew it. I just knew that after the Season Sets came out, all of us people who bought it would get screwed over some how. -_-

Anyone planning on selling their R2 singles now?

I might actually sell them off for really cheap so I can get the first set.

I purchases all 9 sets and don't feel bad at all. We put money back into the franchise so Funi could afford to do this. I'll be buying all 7 sets no questions asked.

You know what? Being as they are a hard sell right now, I'm gonna throw my singles in with my season set auctions.

As well as we AMV-makers. Good to know, I was having a hard time figuring out the nature of the DBox's footage.

I was actually thinking of selling my 16 singles for less or around that.
