Here

While I know it's australian, I might as well let people know because maybe it's interesting.

First six Dragonball sets, collected together in a boxset (probably chipboard/faux chipboard). Hasn't happened in the US for various reasons. Just to confirm, the first set will be the exact same uncut set, but curse of the blood rubies is still the same edited, english only version.

For under $100 AU it's a pretty good deal, considering it'd originally cost $240 for the exact same sets when they were first released.

(these are the US funimation dub, so please don't post 'waah what if they're inaussie voices haha they say mate and crocodile and fosters!')

Currently, the preview boxart.

Hmm... I would DEFINTELY consider it if I had the means to play PAL & Region 4 DVDs.

The first 6 box sets for £50? I'll definately consider purchasing this, seeing as how it's in PAL format. Excellent find.

Simple solution. If you have a PlayStation 2, just buy an Action Replay Max.

Comes with the ability to play any region DVD on it.

Yea, it can play them but you still need a PAL TV or a converter to have it display properly.

You could put a cheap videocard into your computer, as long as it has a video-out port you can get the playback on your TV (such cards run as low as 30 dollars CAD).

And a DVD-rom drive can be purchased for even less.

If you watch Dragon Ball with subtitles enabled, it would be best to avoid this boxed set.

There was a major fault with the subtitle tracks on disc 2 of the Dragon Ball Collection 06 - Fortune Teller Baba, which was never fixed:
-All episodes (except episode 73) have only literal subtitles.
-Episode 73 has only dubtitles.

And I'm guessing Madman wouldn't even consider fixing it because they'd think less than 5% of the audience would give a rats ass (like what they thought with Season 2-3 of DBZ)?

Not in this case, Madman don't really care about glitches that occur in any of their releases.

Fixed discs are often promised, when glitches occur in their release. But the fixed discs can take years and still not fix the problems, or the problems are never fixed in the end.

Judging by their own forums, they seem to have just 'sweep any old issues under the carpet', so to speak.

If you care to look at the top again, the box art has changed. Horray?
