What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

[DNA]

Arrived today.


And now to try it on my PS3, it's been many years since I've actively played this game. Wish me luck x)

Is your PS3 backwards compatible? I own the original 80 gig PS3 which I've heard is the only model that is somewhat BC, but it's 50/50 if a PS/PS2 game will save or play. For example, it can play Chrono Cross (PS) but can't save, and it couldn't even handle Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (PS2). It worked for Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) though.

In other news, I bought Nekobi's Dragon Box: The Movies! And since the only pictures I took of it were of terrible quality, you guys get... generic Google image search result!

Bought a second dragon ball gt dragon box, will post pictures when it arrives.

How much did you pay for it? Must admit, I'm surprised someone would shell out that much money for another copy of GT- even if it is a Dragon Box. I guess if you found one cheap enough...

Bought it for $131.00 so that's pretty decent.

Wow, that is decent. Even for GT.

I gotta keep an eye out...when I have money to spend, that is.

[JackyBoi99]

Haha yeah, never stop looking around because you never know when you might find a bargain.

That Chrono Cross issue must've been specific to the game, since all PS3 are backwards compatible with PS1 games (and, from first-hand experience with FFVII, can save).
However, as I found out with a japanese copy of Ultimate Battle 22, PS1 games are region-locked. So there's that to look out for.

You can't save with Final Bout, but that was always an issue with that game, so you have to input the unlock cheats every time. Other than that, it works nicely on the PS3....well, as "nicely" as it ever worked

I've got the 60GB model which has full backwards compatibility with PS1 and 2. As for Final Bout saving, it does... You can save your Build Up Characters only, which include any unlockable characters. This game is odd.
Unfortunately my TV sucks and I get these disgusting looking scan lines. Oh well.

I've also got a memory card reader which allows me to transfer save data from my memory cards into the PS3.

Oh, that's nice. Huh, didn't know about that Build Up "trick", I'll have to try that out on mine. Thanks
It is indeed a very odd game. This might be getting a bit off-topic, but are you using an SD or HD TV, and have you tinkered with the upscale options at all?

All PS3s are compatible with PS1 games but PS3 Slim models aren't, although if you hack them then that's a different story (it plays PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and more).

Back in the days I used to play Dragon Ball: Final Bout and knew how the controls worked but if I went back to it now I'd have to be patient with it, just like I was with Sonic Lost World (game doesn't do a very good job of telling the user how it works so the player has to learn it by trial and error -- kinda fun this way ).

PS3 is PS1 compatible, period. I have a normal PS3 slim and it reads PS1 games. The issue is just with PS2 games because it requires hardware emulation to run on PS3, while the PS1 games can be emulated by the PS3 with software only.

Finally bought DRAGON BALL: ORIGINS and apparently the PAL releases come with the Original Japanese music so that may mean Makafushigi Adventure!

Here's a pic I found online of it:

Finding this out now. Realized I sold all my PS3 games a month ago.

FFFFFUUUUUUU...

It's a well known fact that all PS3s legally play PS1 games too, and what Rereboy isn't exactly telling the truth in the sense of it being capable, because if you decide to hack the PS3, if done so, then it can play PS2 games as well as PSP (plus the retro consoles).

Obviously I'm talking about legit play and legit games. Also, even in those cases, using software emulation for ps2 games, there are various issues with playback in many ps2 games.

Well, in that case I've got a PC that plays all consoles. Amazing, isn't it? Guess I'll just throw my consoles in the trash now.

Today I received at last Dragon Ball: Origins which I've been hunting down for a while!




I wish they all had green coloured stripes to be consistent but oh well.

So today on eBay I bought this:



While I'm not really a fan of collecting Dragon Ball figures, or figures for that matter, I really like Fat Boo so couldn't miss out on it.

I purchased DBZ Viz Big Vol. 2 and Legendary Super Warriors (Gameboy Color) for $2.99 at GameStop's site.

I'm debating if I should pick up Harukanaru Goku Densentsu when I go out today.

Legendary Super Warriors for $2.99? What a steal! Did it include the box too?

Goku Densentsu (PAL title) is worth picking up even though I've not played it yet, it's a cool addition for the collection as well as it is a card game so I'll probably like it. Harukanaru Densentsu is the US title, still a pretty odd name for an English release.

Anyway, gonna try to finish the last two chapters of Lego City Undercover 'cause I'm probably going to receive Mario Kart 8 tomorrow and I want the console to be free for it.

Last disc in my buying spree arrived in the mail:

[JackyBoi99]

Dragon box gt number 2 with dragon radar.

Bought another dragon box 4 for shits and giggles, only $59.95 from amazon.ca.

I wish they weren't all sideways. Anyway, I like how you handled the first figure, added your own custom battle damage... I think. Also welcome to the forums.

Thank you for the welcome!

That Gohan came right out of the box looking battle damaged. I have the Vegeta from that set as well and am contemplating purchasing the Goku. It has such a horrible face though.

I'll try a different site for photo hosting next time, tinypic always rotates my photos.
