Ghost in the Shell 2.0 Blu-ray Review

Did anyone happen to pick up this title on Tuesday? On Amazon the release date says Nov 24th but I bought it at Best Buy for 19.99 today. A very nice transfer I might add.

Didn't realize this was out early. Does it include the original version of the film as well, or only the 2.0 redux?

It includes both versions. I thought about picking it up yesterday but I wanted to do some research on the internet. Most of the websites have it listed to come out Nov 24th. So today I pick it up just in case Best Buy put it out by mistake. They had plenty of copies.

Best Buy has an exclusive earlier release for Ghost in the Shell 2.0 but it's still 1 week early then it's supposed to be.

Are you sure what you bought was Ghost in the Shell 2.0 and not Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence?

One is the original film featuring the Major going up against the Puppet Master, the sequel centers on Bato.

Well it could be 2.0 because Best Buy has the exclusive early release and then the Best Buy employees just put it out on the shelves a week early since they already got the shipment of copies in and probably have no idea that it comes out next week not this week.

Lol. This is Ghost in the Shell 2.0. I thought Best Buy made a mistake yesterday and went home to check online. Release date on Amazon was Nov. 24th. Went to BB today and they had 5 copies out. Mind you this is in Maryland. I can't vouch for other states. It's not in the sale papers or anything. I just happend to roll up on it. Both versions of the movie are included. I did check out the other Bonus Features but the 2.0 looks fantastic. The CGI 3D takes it to a whole new level. Think Appleseed 2 on Blu-Ray. Great effects.

Yes, a new UK version of the original non-2.0 comes out later this year.

2.0 was OK but not as good as the original version. I do think it holds some merit, though. The original version on Blu-ray (and with a steelbook release too!), as coming from Manga UK next year, will be a must own.
