Wasn't it like 1,000 dollars+?
I remember a user posting a thread concerning Taiketsu's online price at Circuit City.com about a year ago, if memory serves right. It was hilarious, since there must've been some typo in their system that caused the price to read $2,299.99 or something along the lines of $2,000+.

That must be what it was. I saw a copy at the store I work at and it was $15. I wondered if I should pick it up and ebay it. But it's not worth the trouble at those prices.

Yes, it was brought up on the first page. I kind of explained it here and here.

Man, I wish the Z Season Set's picture quality was at least as good as the picture quality on that "sizzle Video"... :cry:

Ah, I got this book and a Legacy of Goku 2 one a month or so ago from a friend. The Legacy of Goku 2 guide features a similar DVD (Not the same, though) and 2 interviews about the game. Perhaps I should post them...?
I think I'll be buying assorted Dragon Ball things for the rest of my life.

You mean the crappy cut-scene quality? Um, I'm pretty sure it was, definitely in seasons 3-9, and maybe in the first two as well. It's hard to tell since they are both from difference episodes, but the first two season sets were not quite as bad as that, in my opinion. But, when you consider the cropping of the season sets, they do seem a little more worse in comparison, but then you also have to consider the superior audio options and the superior audio quality.

Sure, and if you're going to post the interviews, I suggest you install simpleOCR so that you can just scan the interviews and have them turned into text without you having to re-type it manually.

Wait a minute, what? Is this sarcasm?
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!

Well, sorta... I mean, if you are talking about seasons 1,3-9 then yes...

...but this?

Yes, that "Sizzle Video" looks miles ahead of that... sadly...(and this isn't even the brightest Season Two gets!)

If Season Two looked about like this:

Then I would be okay with it...

That wasn't my main observation. I know all about the R and TM stuff from an episode of the podcast, I meant the 'Son Goku' part, you know, his correct name but they never actually use it IN the show? Its appeared in a few games but I didn't think it was copyrighted...

Maybe the R is only there for the Goku part of Son Goku?
