The digital HD version of the 15th installment in the "Dragon Ball Z" movie franchise — the second one that was personally written by series creator Akira Toriyama — will be launched on Oct. 9, while it will be released on retail on Oct. 20.
FUNimation will come out with three different versions of the movie's home release, including the one-of-a-kind Collector's Edition that comes with the DVD and Blu-Ray combo pack with exclusive footages and cast interviews, O-Card, a special packaging, as well as four Frieza Force holographic postcards. The Blu-ray/ DVD combo pack also comes with behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews, and red carpet footage, while the standard DVD release comes with a trailer.

Aside from the discounted price, those who will pre-order the English-dubbed "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'" will also have the chance to own a limited edition Shenron shirt for just $10.
