Used to have this poster on my wall way back, and I still own it but it's got a few rips in it so I don't have it up anymore. Something I'd definitely love to buy if they were available anywhere? Just wondered whether the wise folk of Kanzenshuu would be aware of any online store or anything that this would be available at?

Nah unf. PS3's are all locked to were you got them.
But VLC play all regions for DVD (I think) and you could hook your laptop/pc to your TV, via VGA/HDMI, that's what I do with my region locked DVDs/Blu's.

It shouldn't be hard to find on eBay, but there's a 99.9% chance you would be buying a bootleg/reprint. If that doesn't bother you, go for it! I have one. 8)
This is the episode of when Gokuh enrages himself after Freezer talk shit about Kuririn

Yeah they definitely rearranged the Faulconer score on the Orange Bricks for the Freeza arc.

For example this theme was completely eliminated from the score:

Legally, no.. unless it's an R4 PS3.

A PS3 that's from R1 plays R1 DVDs (and Blu-rays of Region A), PS3's from R2 play R2 DVDs (as well as Blu-rays of Region B) and so on. R0 are region free but they're not usually a good sign to go by.

I watched all of my Dragon Ball Saga Sets on a DVD Player because they were R4 and my R2 PS3 couldn't play them due to the region lock.

Ah thanks. Cool that it's still out there, but that would cost me total about £20 ordering from the UK with shipping. Not that prepared to pay that at the moment!

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I appreciate the welcome but i already have other figuarts before this. Now my total figuarts collection include ssj3 Goku, Trunks, teen gohan, piccolo and Son Goku. They are addictive, if only frieza and saiyan saga Vegeta did not cost what they do, i'd have them too. My only hope is they get rereleased because i won't buy either of those 2 figures at current prices.

Funny a few people were telling me about the laptop to tv adapters, guess that's a sign... Seems like a bit of hassle just to watch some DVDs but hey it is what it is lol. Thanks anyway though guys.

MacBooks aren't region locked are they?

I ask all this because I want to buy Naoki Urasawa's "Monster" on DVD and for some reason America has only released one box set which has the first 15 episodes and that was back in 09!

Since then only Australia I believe has acquired the license to release the show and has thus far released the second box set featuring episodes 16-30. I believe they plan to release more.

Viz has neither claimed nor denied whether or not they cancelled the sets due to poor sales (due to it not being so well known) but whatever the case if I have to import the sets from Australia just to see this piece of genius then so be it.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

20 pounds? that's nothing really. It's probably going to cost me atleast that just getting it shipped to me in New Zealand. First i'm getting it shipped to my USA address though (so I get tracking).

That song plays many times in the Orange Bricks.

It's pretty much the same music arrangement outside of the first episode I think (due to the episode being slightly shifted to get the episode count on track in the original dub), and a few differences in the "Trunks Ascends" episode, as well as Goku's nightmare with 18 and 17 (from what I've heard).

It's not too much but if he feels that it's not worth spending (not counting custom fees if included) that amount then there's nothing wrong with it. I too wouldn't buy it for that much (I'd rather put the money down for retro games, tbh).

The arrangement is changed for the third episode too, at least. I probably won't listen to the Faulconer track again but it's nice to know my assumption was dead wrong.

Nope, 20 pounds isn't a lot, but I have other things I need to pay for and already have a few posters up already in my room that I got for £3 each, so I guess I can wait a bit and see if there's a better price that pops up.
