Wow that sucks, have you tried contacting Amazon?

Yea, they sent a message to the seller (since it was third party). Could take up to 3 days to get a reply. So at the least I hope for a refund.

Got these about a week ago. Super DBZ was £3, IW was £12. I haven't played IW yet, but I watched my brother play one of the minigames and I said 'Why are you playing Sonic '06?'. Super DBZ on the other hand, that game's a true beauty. Oh, now that I have these, along with the Budokais and Tenkaichis, I have every PS2 DBZ game now. (Sagas never got an EU release)

Looks really nice, I've always wanted a figure like that but never seem to have the money :(

Wow Super DBZ for £3, where'd you find that? I can never seem to find secondhand DBZ games other than Ultimate Tenkaichi and Burst Limit :(

Really nice, how much did that set you back? It looks great, though Vegeta's face looks kinda off ...


Anyway I recently picked up a couple of the Viz Comics, though I'm not quite sure why.

Super DBZ seems to be a sleeper "hit" that you can find in secondhand CD shops for cheap. Most of those places are getting wise to internet pricing, so they price games accordingly, but Super DBZ isn't really on the radar. I got mine for 8 USD, which was the "This Whole Bin 8 USD for 1, 14 USD for 2" deal they had going on. Imagine, Super DBZ... IN A BIN!

Truth be told, I got both games from two separate CeX stores, in the same city, on the same day. Also CeX sells Budokai 1 for like 30p but then again every Dragon Ball fan and their dog has that game, given its sales.

Dragon Ball Season Five. With that, I now own the entirety of Dragon Ball (the first 153 episodes) on DVD. All I need left is DBZ Movie 4 and GT Season Two, and I'll own every episode, movie, and special released in America on DVD.

Ordered from Amazon's marketplace for £7:

The sole reason I got this on GameCube's because it features the original Japanese cast which the PS2 version lacks of.

I picked up Super DBZ on Amazon Warehouse Deals for £1.55.

You can buy it for £2.23 from Zoverstocks, while I like their services and trust them, if the item turns up to be below the standards as advertised they always work it out with the customer (send a replacement copy or refund).

If only they also sold NGC games for that low but I know, Nintendo premium games always keep their prices within a certain limit without ever dropping and that's okay. They're worth it.

Luigi's Mansion is pretty freakin' awesome and addictive!

Also picked up today for the NGC; Star Fox Adventures (£5).
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

Was there any reason why GC Budokai 2 was sub only and the PS2 version was dub only? To my knowledge both versions of Budokai 1 are sub only and Budokai 3 was dub only unless you got the collector's edition or the Platinum/Greatest Hits rerelease, and it never got a GC release.

Interesting factoid.

Nintendo Optical Discs for the Gamecube were much (MUCH!) smaller than a standard DVD. Definitely less likely to hold dual audio tracks than the PS2 version would be. But why sub only? Hrmmmm.

The manager at my local comic shop recently just GAVE me a big stack of Dragon Ball issues :lol:

Haven't had time to look through them yet, but I'm wondering what kind of interesting supplemental material or ads or that kind of thing they might have inside. It's neat to look at the cover art!

Just bought a used Dragon Box 2 on eBay this morning in Like New condition for $200 plus $3.26 shipping. Did I pay too much?

I think you just snagged the deal of a lifetime. :)

Today in the mail I received a cheapo copy of Dragon Ball Z Idanaru Densetsu, Best For Family rerelease. :) Let's see if I can get my Gameshark to work, since I don't have a Japanese PS1.
