Jumpland Site Update: New News?

Mr. Robot · Post by **Mr. Robot** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 8:45 pm

Jumpland got revamped. I can't read Japanese though, so I don't know whether there is any new info. Sure looks cool, though. Anyone know if there's any news? Willing to translate?

Here's a link to the Google translation. The translation sucks, though. I can't really find out anything from it. Here it is:

EDIT:

Remember we all thought that the discs would be 3990 yen? Well, they are, but Amazon.co.jp is selling them for something like 3190. This amounts to about 28 dollars (I used XE.com--someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Hm...unless I'm mistaken, the "Schedual" section says that the first three DBZ discs will be released on Nov. 2nd. The next three will be released on December 7th.

Totally freakin' sweet. Now it's time to decide weather or not to buy them rightoff, or wait for cheaper second hand ones (though I doubt very much they'll ship outside of Japan

)

I am wondering what the coverart will be like, but given that Japanese releases have access to lots of things American ones don't, I'll expect nothing but the best.

To own the first couple episodes of DBZ for the billionth time, or not?... this is the true question...

Fansub: Check
Arrival VHS: Check
Arrival DVD: Check
FUNi Redub (w/ Spanish) DVD: Check
French VHS: Check (though technically sold...)
JP DVD: Hmm... ^_~

Hmm... 6 episodes per volume for the first 9 volumes. Pretty nice.

I wish they had something about the Movie Box up, but right now, the navigation image for that section is just an image, and nothing more.

It's not like you're shooting yourself in the foot or anything right... right!?

I just got an email from my JP suppier, regarding DB / DBZ / DBGT UMDS! They will be coming out the same time as the "MOVIE DVD BOX." I must collect that also. To have all the db/dbz/dbgt/movies in a UMD BOXSET would be kool! DB PORTABLE VIDEOS for my collection. We can now watch any ep we want, anytime, anywhere.

UMD is a new Video format for the SONY PSP, for those who don't know what an UMD is. You get 2-3 eps per UMD disc.

Funimation is starting this November to release DBZ on UMD. 2005 & 2006 is going to be an expensive. To buy all the dbz on "UMD region1" & "UMD region2" - Source from my Funimation Distributor flyer.

PS: with 3 consoles to buy in 2005 & another 4 next year. + my DBZ hobby = this is going to kill my bank. With the new consoles: I also need a new HDMI HDTV. I might need 2 of them. From now till 2005~2008. So much saving and shopping. At least, in OCT: DBZ Sparking will keep us warm and happy! only 2 months to go.

I'm probably going to get the first dvd (especially at only 28 bucks) to check it out.

Also, it turns out FUNi is releasing Movie 11 (Bio Brolly) on UMD first. This is quite possibly my least favorite DBZ movie. Go figure.

Son Goku · Post by **Son Goku** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 3:32 pm

Does anyone know if the UMDs will be edited or uncut?
(I don't have a PSP and I don't plan to, just curious)

SonGokuGT · Post by **SonGokuGT** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 1:30 am

DBZ on UMD, huh? It'd be cool to have a fave episode for on the go, but who would collect an entire 291 episode series on a format destined to die out eventually? I can see the releasing the movies, but the episodes?

Son Goku · Post by **Son Goku** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 2:17 am

We got a real battle on the dance floor!

170 UMDs (508 episodes split with 3 episodes each) at $20.00 (guess) VS 170 DVDs at $30.00

Complete UMD collection = $3400.00
Complete DVD colection = $5100.00

If you got the entire trilogy, you would save a grand total of $1700 dollars! (This is not counting the fact that Dragonball DVDs are in boxset form and thus would be cheaper than UMDs.)

Magnaboss · Post by **Magnaboss** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 3:15 am

Well to be fair, considering the overall average retail price of DBZ DVDs were around $25 as opposed to $30, well.. eh. Then again I don't see something as large as DBZ staying around on UMD forever since it's not going to be a long-living medium. Perhaps the movies and a sort of "best of" collection, like the R2 Fist of the North Star perhaps? (FotNS had a 26 or so DVD release, and then three "best of, climax battle" discs).

Adding also that the retail price for many funimation discs have dropped to around 10-15 each.

dragonbox2006 · Post by **dragonbox2006** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 9:44 am

The UMD format is not going to fade away. This format is for PSP. Blueray & UMD are the formats of the future. The UMD pricing for the DBZ movies/eps will be $15~20 USD each.

To answer that quesion: a DB fan/collector would buy the UMD-collection. yes i will. In Spring 2006: we get to see what the DBZ game on PSP looks like.

Son Goku · Post by **Son Goku** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 11:46 am

Lets just say there were 23 UMDs released of the series in "Best of" collections. Here's what I think they would be:

1. The 21st Budokai
2. The Dr. Slump crossover!

3. Fall of the Red Ribbon Army
4. Baba
5. The 22nd Budokai
6. King Piccolo's death
7. The 23rd Budokai
8. Defeat of Raditz, Nappa and Vegeta
9. Defeat of the Ginyu force
10. SSJ Goku and Frieza's temporary defeat
11. Trunks
12. Defeats of 19 and 20
13. SSJ 2 Gohan and Cell's death
14. Goten vs Trunks and Battle Royal
15. Fat Buu
16. Gotenks and Vegetto
17. "The universal Genkai-dama -- If this doesn't stop Majin Buu, nothing will!" (would be nice for a UMD with the DB style of titles

)
18. Uub
19. Black Star Dragonballs
20. Baby
21. Super 17
22. Evil Dragons
23. DBGT 64 with the TV special included

Lots of companies have already decided not to support Blu-Ray from what I've heard [not a 100% sure]... The only thing that could be it's saving grace would be if PS3 does for Blu-Ray waht the PS2 did for DVD.

I, personally, feel it's too soon to move on to another format.

Son Goku · Post by **Son Goku** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 8:51 pm

Exactly how much more space does Blue-ray have opposed to DVDs?

Post by **VegettoEX** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 9:40 pm

A single-layer DVD can hold approximately 4.5 GB. A dual-layer DVD can hold approximately 9 GB. A single layer Blu-Ray disc can hold approximately 25 GB. A dual-layer Blu-Ray disc can hold approximately 50 GB.
