I recently got one as well. Which means I'm probably gonna get Raging Blast.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Cool, then. Does anyone know how to change the region code for PS3 in order to watch imported movies? Dragon Box, for example. Also do all PS3 contain Blu-ray system? I want to order Kai Boxset.

1. All PS3's come with Blu-ray.

2. I don't know where you live, but Japan shares it's Blu-ray region code [Region A] with the US! If you're in a PAL territory you're more than likely Region B.

3. Most Blu-ray discs nowadays don't have region codes anyway, but it's good to be informed before committing to a purchase.

4. Even if you are able to play Blu-rays, DVD's still maintain their original regions. You'll be able to play Dragonball Kai Blu-rays on your American PS3 but you still will be unable to play your Region 2 DragonBox discs since American PS3's only play Region 1 DVD's.

5. I've looked for hacks for the PS3, but most were the kind that replace the original OS and put your system at risk of bricking.

It just so happened to be Viz's second run of the manga(the SJ run). Got it on Ebay when I noticed it was part of a lot of other manga. I made a deal with the seller and bought it for 8 dollars.

I was tempted to get the Dragonball Forever and Landmark books back during anime expo for 14 each, but I'm glad I saved the money.

I haven't gotten anything since the huge viz DB and Z manga boxes during the start of the year.

Dragon Ball Z Season 9 boxset (seems kind of pointless now, since i'll be getting the English Dragon Box) and a DBZ rucksack bag with Vegeta on it.
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

DB & Tiger and Bunny are my main fandoms, along with many other animes.

These box sets purchased from April to June off of eBay. Sucks now, since those damn Dragon Boxes are being released by UNFUNimation soon. (U C WAT I DID THAR?!) Sorry if the images might be a tad too big.

Well, at least they look cool!
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]
