And this is definitely proof of that.

Why is there even any debate over whether the dub is included or not? It's on there. Confirmed. You'll need to change the language option, but it's on there.

Oh man I so wish now I waited to buy the brick sets. It just sucks because NO ONE would have eve guessed this would be coming. I think in the back of my mind I thought a proper 4:3 version would be release, but not Dragon Box.

Aren't those the things Tanooki ended up not selling?
Yea thats my auction up on Ebay. I didn't say anything cause I wanted to avoid people asking me for a single disc when I just wanted to get rid of all of them in one shot. :D

But there are tow different dubs - one with JPN music, the other with Faulconer music. I'm worried that they'll just include one and not the other.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

This consoles me. Like I said, as long as my voices and music are included, I can handle everything else they're planning to do with these sets.
Then leave it, you don't NEED it.
You clearly have your product, now let us have ours without bitching about it. Saying your product has been ditched is a ridiculous statement, it was finished, and is still in print, and it will remain in print. That's the box set for the dubbie, and this is the one for the subbie.
There's really no need to act as if they've pulled an Ultimate Uncut on you, because they havn't, you're really complainging about.. well, nothing.

Learn it. You'll be saving money and shit.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I kind of had the feeling it would be dub with JPN music. I hope it has both though, just for the option.

Oh for the love of God - FUNI never said that this set is intended for subbies only - they said hardcore fans. That can mean ANYTHING.

Plus, THE JAPANESE VERSION IS ALREADY ON THE FRICKIN SEASON SETS. Technically, with that logic, we BOTH have our releases.

Well that would be stupid. They already confirmed that the dub is THERE. We're just worried about whether they'll only include one.
More than likely it'll be just the standard FUNi dub from season 3+.

Which in all honestly, is what most dub fans want anyway.

Would there really even be room on the discs for a third audio track? If they want to get the episodes on there with the best possible visual quality, I'm not sure if they would be able to fit the dub music track.

Though like people keep saying throughout this thread, encoding has improved greatly since 2003, so who knows.

Hell I bet their definition of "hardcore fan" is Americans who are aware a Japanese version exists.

Oh and

HELL FUCKING YEAH THIS IS SOME HOT SHIT. It's sold but I really wish I hadn't bought those season sets.

The last Season set had 7 episodes per disc and three audio options and the quality was excellent.

Okay, just to clear this up for myself and others who are confused.

More than likley, the sets will include

1). The Japanese version with the Jap. BGM
2). The Dub with the Faulconer music.

If they included both dubs (the one with JPN music and the other with Faulconer music) it would be the definite hardcore english edition of dragon ball Z. So I hope that is the case.

I won`t be buying the dragon boxes but I feel glad that all guys are finally getting what you want. And so I hope it includes both dubs to be the ultimate edition.

Does it matter? Just throw the Falcouner score on there.

That was because they ran out of episodes...and all the others had 7.

Well, if the Japanese version is going to be default, then there must be something other than the default on there. Meaning the dub.
