Considering how much this costs, I kinda wish they'd made the box with some stronger cardboard. Seems awfully flimsy. :thumbdown:

Got a text message saying it should arrive today! Only just realized now because I hardly ever check my phone. :lol:

I'm looking into the detail. The Blu-ray is single-layered and it has 5.1ch 48kHz 24bit audio and Japanese subtitles.

Well, looks like I'll be seeing the movie in October. Was quite surprised to see it coming to the JFF, and it's airing close to a friend's house.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

My jealousy has been a slow ember which grew when I saw Julian unbox his...you have successfully made it turn into a raging inferno! 8) Ahh that's so cool! Congrats!

Just finished watching the movie and I loved it. Birus has just become one of my new favorite Dragon Ball villains. I like his extremely lax way of handling things, it's like Freeza only he doesn't let his little fits get the better of him.

I kinda felt like Goku achieved Super Saiyan God a little too easily though and it happened in practically no time at all. I know that since it's a movie they can't focus on anything for too long for the sake of flow but still I'd be nice if there was a little more to SSJ God than "Have 6 Saiyans stand in a circle and now you're God".

Other than that minor complaint I thought the movie was really fun and I look forward to seeing it again with Steve's subtitles and English Dubbed with the Kai cast.

Out of curiosity, did anyone here go for the standard DVD/Blu-Ray or is everyone here buying the special edition?

Why so many? :shock:

I went for Amazon's steelbook blu-ray version, honestly why watch it in standard def? Blu-Ray is at the point where it's affordable, remember the decline in VHS in the 2000s? That was because DVDs were getting affordable as well as the players.

To collect each shop's exclusive version I guess.

I was originally going to just get the standard edition (Blu-ray), since physical extras aren't really my thing, but I ended up opting for the limited edition solely due to the inclusion of the JSAT special.

I did that as well, anyone know if the encoding is any better?

I would go for the DVD, because I don`t have a region free BluRay player!

Trunks likes girls older than him. There's a chance he went to the past and married Lanfan.

If you're in the US you can the BRD on any player as we're the same region as Japan "A". DVDs are Region-2 and we're Region-1.

The footage is interlaced, so I guess it's exactly the same as that on the single DVD.

Songohan619 lives in Norway. That's regions 2 and B.
