Dragon Box "Rental" DVDs... Good?

Post by DBZfan29 » Fri Jan 18, 2013 6:59 pm

I found a bunch of listings for them on Yahoo! Auction. They apparently are used and from a rental shop, but a whole set is practically the same as buying two "retail" ones. Does anyone know if the rental DVDs are any different, disc-wise? I know the cases are made differently, but that's not too important.
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?

While I don't know the specifics of Dragon Ball Rental DVDs, from what I've generally heard of/seen from other rental DVDs compared to retail;

1) Bonus features will be nerfed

2) You may have slightly reduced image or sound quality, although this is not a constant.

I think there's no difference in the quality. They lack bonus features and good-looking menus. That's all.
