I've never seen a box set like that before. I kinda thought it would be the Blue Set, but it's not. I have no clue if this is bootlegged or not...

Well I'm taking a wild stab here but I'd say it's legitamate merchandise because of the somewhat reputable website your buying it from. As for quality I'm not sure - we'd need one of the forums resident video quality junkies on the scene

Really? I'm sure if there were English subs in there that would lean to bootleg, but surely there must be legitimate DVDs sold in China. They can't *all* be bootlegs. And wouldn't a DVD for a Chinese person in China be in Chinese? (In this case, Cantonese.)

Uhhh, no. They do make official, legitimate DVDs in Hong Kong. Bootlegs tend to have English subs. On top of that, this is Region 3 (China), not Region 0, the other big indicator of bootlegging.

And PlayAsia is a legitimate store.

Well, it DOES have R3 coding on it - that's what confused me.

No bootlegs, official Hong Kong Dragon Ball releases. I have them standing here in my room

And err.. the videoquality is quite bad.

Well, I would have never expected to find a bootleg on PlayAsia. They are a pretty well know and reputable site. Oh well, that is very interesting.

Oh sorry. They're the Chinese box-sets eh? Well, then that makes more sense.

I love Hong-Kong and Malaysian boxsets, I have the Gundam Seed ones, they're AWESOME. At one point the subtitles say "What fuck?!" when it does that "What the hell" thing in Japanese that I can't spell.

It seems Hong-Kong and Malaysian box sets are always bootlegs. The Hong-Kong Dragon Ball Z one I have (which I regret buying) has horrible subs.

I accidentally picked up all of DragonBall and Dragonall Z in a similar format. They are some Hong Kong sets and they are awful. The video is not very good, tons of macro-blocking and pixelation. And the subs are just as terrible. It is full of lousy translations, engrish, and grammatical errors. With such lines as: "That's of course!" coming up all over the place. I don't want anyone to have to purchase bootlegs. I got them in a time when I did not know that there were releases that were not legitimate. I may have gotten them for very cheap. But I have regretted it ever since, and to this day, I still cannot watch the damn discs. So yeah.... Bootlegs: Don't buy em.

"That's Master Goten's house!" -- Goku talking to Gohan, pointing at the Kame House

...and who can forget that in those subs, Vegeta's name is "Dende"?

Oh, and remember how it's impossible to get to the last episode of a disc from the chapter menu?

Might as well just buy the season sets with that kind of quality.

Exactly. Maybe we have the same sets.

In one episode, Piccolo was called "Beka". God knows where that one came from.
