The Box for sure! planning on buying both 2 & 3 together.




*Note to self* Do not be tempted to buy anything other than the Dragon Boxes until all released and owned.

How much is that? From your wording it seems like a lot.

I'm going to get both of them. I have to show my support because the better the DBZ DBoxes sell the better chance of them releasing the DB DBoxes as well. I also really want to get kai because it'll be nice to finally watch DBZ without any fillers and stuff. Don't get me wrong I mean DBZ has some good filler stuff but theres nothing I hate more than watching majin Vegeta duel it out with Goku in a epic battle then right as it's getting good it cuts off to Goten and Trunks trying to find a place to piss. :cry:

I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of the Majin Vegeta vs. Goku fight is filler.

I would hope he would do it himself...

Adding a DVD drive is very easy to do and the same would go for a Blu-Ray drive.

Dragonbox 3, above all else. I'm not even gonna get any of the Kai DVDs. It's just DBZ with less filler, and a few re-drawn scenes.

And I don't like seeing DBZ in widescreen. :evil:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

I'm not really sure. I'm going to get the Japanese Dragon Boxes, so I might buy Kai in the US.

Kai in US is supposedly going to be fullscreen.

Well it may or may not be a lot but it is worth noting.

I'm not so sure about that, with a DVD drive it seems fine but with Blu-Rays there are many factors to consider:
  • - Graphics Card
    - Processor
    - Operating System
    - Hard Drive
    - Monitors and Cables (mostly for best quality experience)
These all have to be up to par with the system requirements otherwise it won't work/won't output the best quality which kind of defeats the purpose of the upgrade.
There's no point in going into detail now unless you want me to, but I still think it's worth considering.

Dragonbox 3 without question.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I'll also be getting Dragon Box #3 no doubt.

Dragonball Kai is a very small maybe at this point, If the dub is outstanding then I know i'll be getting it when they re-release it in bigger boxsets, but if it's not then I probably won't bother with Kai at all.

I think FUNi will release it the same way it was done in japan.
WS = DVD;
FS = BRD;

course, the only way to find out is for people to buy it.

If I didn't have to buy a bloody gaming PC for college I'd buy both, but because we need such high specs I'm gonna be flat broke for months><

I'm getting both. I have the first 2 Dragon Boxes so that's a no-brainer. I don't care if the Kai dub is absolutely horrendous. I'm just glad to be getting the Japanese version of Kai in Blu-Ray for so cheap and IT"S IN 4:3!!!

I want to get both but I haven't even finished Dragon Box one yet (1 disc left). I'll pick them up after I've watched the second Dragon Box. :)

After giving it some thought, I've decided to pass on the DBoxes and purchase Kai instead. The way I see it is, I'll have a new, accurate dub with my favorite voice cast, less filler, and possibly getting the show in 4:3. I'm not gonna pretend that I dislike the dub cast, so getting Kai is the way to go for me.
All I'm worried about is the censorship.

They'll be censorship in the TV broadcast, but the DVD release will be uncut.


(I assume based on the orange box sets, the Dragon Boxes and most Anime DVDs on the market.)

I hope that's the case.
That has me thinking, though...
Does anyone know if the original, broadcast run of Z was edited in Japan?
