There are just so many releases of DragonBall and all its various spin-offs on DVD (and now Blu-ray), that it is nearly impossible to keep track of them (nevermind what is on them, which languages are present, what are the extras, etc). From this index you can click further for full series description, a breakdown of the various (and confusing) box sets, re-releases, etc.

DRAGONBALL Z TV SERIES

[ click for individual discs ]

The first two seasons of FUNimation's dub have been released by Pioneer as edited and dub-only. These have completed a confusing re-release that included a canceled "Ultimate Uncut Edition" run in favor of a faux-"remastered" widescreen release which contains a redub using FUNimation's current voice cast. After that, the entire TV series is uncut and bilingual, released directly from FUNimation. The original releases were phased out in favor of FUNimation's faux-"remastered" widescreen release of the rest of the series, which themselves were succeeded by "Dragon Box" releases of the entire TV series. FUNimation has also announced a new remaster of the series for Blu-ray.
Volumes Released / Announced: 87 individual (plus corresponding box sets), 9 canceled individual, 9 faux-"remastered" box sets, 7 "Dragon Box" sets, unknown number of Blu-ray sets

Similar to the first two seasons of the TV series, FUNimation's productions of DBZ Movies 1-3 have been released by Pioneer, with FUNimation themselves directly releasing the rest of them. Upon completing the remainder of the movies, FUNimation returned to release a "First Strike" box set that contained the re-releases of DBZ Movies 1-3. Following the success of their faux-"remastered" DBZ TV season sets, FUNimation began releasing the DBZ movies as double-features in a similar style beginning in May 2008 concurrently on DVD and Blu-ray.
