I have an old VHS of the Kidmark DB dub called "The Legend of Goku". Are they the same? My VHS has Episodes 11-13.

"The Saga of Goku" DVD set contains the first thirteen episodes of DB on two discs. I'm not sure if it's the same dub as the other sets (I think it was different to the Funi dub of the later ones, but I'm not sure; haven't watched it in a while, but I'm pretty sure it sounded different), but it also has the Japanese audio w/ subtitles.

It also has the "Curse of the Blood Rubies" movie, which only has the English soundtrack.

Do you actually confirm the subtitle tracks are different for dubtitles and literal subtitles on disc 1 (not disc 2) of the 'Fortune Teller Baba' box set? by displaying both subtitle tracks at once?

The problem was not the second subtitle track been missing, but both subtitle tracks having the same content.
I've just checked disc 1 and the same problem exists. You would think that it would have been corrected. Ultimately it's not too big of a deal.

I should note that some people who bought the 'Dragon Ball: Piccolo Jr. Saga Set Part 2' recieved two copies of the first disc or even two copies of a 'King Piccolo' disc. This is a much bigger mistake and I hope that it will be corrected for the next collection.

LINK for the cheapest region-free player out there
That one doesn't seem to be getting the best reviews. You got a link to a more expensive, yet really high quality region-free players for NTSC and PAL?

Uhmm... just search amazon yourself O_o

I don't know about other dvd players, because I personally don't have any other region free dvd players.

But I can tell you that any problems the people in the reviews for the CyberHome player had, I haven't had any of those problems. But if you must look, <-Click!

The Funimation dub of original Dragon Ball series, is used by the Australian DVD releases.
