I'm still waiting on FUNi, but I might pre-order the DVD. Time will tell. Come on, FUNi, hurry up. You're killing me with the suspense.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

For £14.99 you can't go wrong if you want a low price.

Did they charge you upfront?

They seem to have gone quite suspiciously quiet about the theatrical release, I hope there isn't any problems.

They do charge upfront though if you then want your money back then send it or ask for an order cancellation.

If Manga UK weren't going to include the additional footage they wouldn't be mentioning.

Also, I read this on their Facebook:
10th November

Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of Gods (DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray Collector's Ed.*) - http://amzn.to/Ydslq4

*We will have more details on the Collector's Ed. version soon.
Please be steelbook case! :D

Why exactly is this something that requires being on a separate disc as part of a more expensive Collectors edition? All the movies I get on Blu Ray have these kinda behind the scenes features and a lot more on just the ordinary standard version.

A Collectors edition that comes with features that should be with every version and a few cards? It's a bit pitiful, couldn't it have come with a little Goku statue or a T-Shirt or something worthwhile.

I paid via PayPal through their website - nothings been taken yet, but it let me order it just fine.

@Bullza they've yet to announce more of the CE edition so don't make assumptions of the final product just yet.

They put it up for Pre-order without even saying what exactly it is you'd be paying for?

Cool, I'll give Amazon a month or so and see if they drop the price.

Yeah, they've just re-iterated there's more to come on twitter, but I can't think of what more they could do (especially at the RRP of £30), as another staple with Manga and movie releases is they usually include a booklet and didn't the Japan release have one too? So that's a good possibility. Maybe a steelbook packaging like Ghost in the Shell (but I've never known a steelbook with a slipcover lol).

There's a few months to go before release, no harm in pre-ordering now, and you know it's kind of exciting, guessing what they'll include.

Raging Blast 1 steelbook came with a slipcover.

More to include on this? They could bundle in.. Goku and Friends Return, Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, etc.

On Manga UK's website it's only £22 so people don't need to pay more than this for the CE edition.

Really? That's good I was under the impression they've took already because it was a direct payment but I never checked the bank or anything.

Oh really? That's encouraging for a steelbook then! :)

That would be awesome if they bundled them in, but I'm not putting high hopes on it though.

Zavvi/TheHut new low prices

DVD - £14.99 (same as before)
BD - £17.99
CE - £19.99

This is currently the cheapest price for the CE Blu-ray release. And please note, you can't use 10%/11% discount codes I tried it myself (you might be able though so worth a try). :P

Manga UK have replied to me on Facebook via PM and steelbook isn't going to be part of the packaging as I'd have liked it to.
Hi, good to see you're excited for it! We'll have more details on our Collector's Edition soon. However I can confirm it will not be in steelbook packaging. Thanks, ^JG

On base.com the CE costs £17.99 which is cheaper than Zavvi/TheHut (£20) and Manga UK (£22).

Amazon has a picture of what the CE looks like:

£15 on there for the ordinary Blu Ray version too. That is the proper price for a Blu Ray movie not the £25 it is on Amazon.
