DVD news. Region 3 Dragonball Z DVDs with Japanese track..

Post by tablet the eunuch » Thu Feb 19, 2004 7:29 am

yo

Hopefully this will be a direct copy from the Region 2 masters. Perfect for those who want Dragonboxes, but can't afford them.

Might get the first one out of curiosity. No English subs mind you.

hello.
this set is the official hong kong set.
I have a friend that lives in hong kong, and he has told me the following:
* The colors are a bit more vibrant than the dragonboxes.
* There are no previews.
* Bitrate is lower (duh!).
* There is a chinese dub in addition.
* The chinese subs are supposed to be great.
* there are 3 big covers inside the box.
* There are no extra.

Is this an official release, or a bootleg?

My bootleg sense is tingling... but I'm not really sure of anything. So, I second my Nu Mou- I mean Mattias's question.

Bootlegs'd be Region 0.

Yesasia also don't sell bootlegs, and if they were bootlegs, they'd have the previews

This is no Bootleg, also notice that its Toei that releases it!
And look at the price!
No, the bootlegs have previews only for each 9th ep, so your point is not really correct

Bleh. I downloaded the clip of the first DB box and EX was right. This looks bad. The colors are horrid. I swear it seemed like I was watching it as if it had aired on Fuji TV.

I honestly don't mind the colours on the Dragonbox.

I haven't downloaded the clips, but there will be no more discussion of downloaded episodes here, especially those from scum groups like Anime-HQ.

From what I understand, they ripped the Dragon Box, so of course they'll look the same with a lower bitrate. This is called "bootlegging," and will not be tolerated, here ^^.
