I'll take a 1280 x 1024 wallpaper, in maybe that blue color if you've made a template. :D

Yellow is a little too bright to stare at for me.

Awesome job on the mockup... mockup, by the way. :lol:

Damn, that dates me a little. My birthday is also in early November, but I'm at the age where I no longer get stuff because of it. I'll take a free dinner, though. I'm definitely not the oldest here, but you guys are the ages of my students. Good to see that the show has that kind of generational power.

This will be a present from myself for myself. Works.

This is probably the last year that I can expect to get stuff for no reason.

The show definitely has generational power. What other show can be someone's favorite show at both 6 and 18? It has come full circle for me; I started with the edited tv dub and now I get the Dragon Box. This makes me want to sing the Lion Kng Soundtrack.

My parents and aunts just send me money and I buy my own stuff. On my 11th birthday back in 03, I got a total of $110.

My birthday is in November as well (the 14th), so I guess I know what I'll be treating myself to.

Even stranger, my friend who originally told me about the Season Sets and thus turned me into a huge Dragon Ball nerd again was born on November 13, 1991. :D So many November birthdates.

My birthday is on November 6th, so I'll get this as a late birthday present. Or I might wait for Christmas for the price to drop a bit.

My dad's birthday was the 21st and my bestfriend's b-day (who I introduced to Dragon Ball) is the 26th. Clearly November is the month of the Dragon Ball fan.

I actually never thought about that. Also, your avatar is funny and a little creepy at the same time. haha

I want to clarify for those forum members who are making wild guesses that just because Funimation plans to release Dboxes doesn't and must probably does not mean that they will come with any extras at all that is not what will appear in the booklets. From what I understand and what common sense is dictates that Funimation simply got new film masters straight from Toei's remastered stuff, of which they have must probably just announced DBZ for the time being, and not about all the other extras that literary does not pertain at all to the North American market. It's not that I want to crush other people's hopes but I feel as this point have been overlook by the people making such statements. And, besides don't feel too bad, the majority of Japanese also only own the single releases with the footage that we're getting domestically(about DAMN time, too). Now let's get back to speculating about this Funiboxes as MagicBox calling them. 8)

I believe it'll look just fine. I watch my dvd's on a 32" HDTV with a PS3 upconverting HDMI cable and at 720p it looks vibrant no matter what anime I watch. Hell, even the Funi season box sets look good.

If you set your TV's aspect ratio to 4:3, they should look fine. My 32" is always in 4:3, sans whenever I put in a movie.

Also, here's the front again but with the Rsolution fixed (I downsized it but it was still 300dpi so Xbox Hueg filesize)

It should look a little better now too.
