Master Shake 05

On IGN.com the top DVD headline is:

GITS (GHsot in the Shell) 2: INNOCENCE Replacemnt Program. In the article they say that new releases of the DVD have "V4" on the sidebar of the DVD. Copies with this V4 emblem have the correct subtitles, not the Closed Captioned ones. If you already bought a CC version, than just contact Go Fish/Dreamworks and they will send you a new copy in exchange for the new version. Gracias.

Chris Tribbey

Woo-hoo!!!!

Visit http://www.gofishpictures.com/GITS2/main.html and click on "Questions About Your DVD" for the replacement form.

And a big thumbs up to Dreamworks/Go Fish! for dealing with it, instead of ignoring it.

Thanks for the info guys. Great news. Dreamworks has really redeemed themselves with this move.

If they haven't done anything about the font size, I don't see the point. I'll just use the French subs.

DVD Polizei

English language would've been nice.

milo bloom

By sidebar, do they mean the security sticker on the side? Or the title on the other side?

If the French subs are good, I'd expect the English subs to be similar in size.

CC is different from subs.

Chris Tribbey

(Just to be more clear) The French subtitles were the same size, but they were not CC....they're in the same spot, too.......

Haven't seen anything about the size of the new subtitles yet....only that they're no longer CC (or CC exclusively). If they're the same size...well, all you would be able to do is laugh. Then cry.

Ain't gonna happen, not with Go Fish (see Millennium Actress). Look for the UK release if you desire an English dub.

It'll say V4 on the spine of the DVD. At, least that's what Dreamworks says...

Duder

Good for them!

victant

Thanks for the link and info!

Philip Reuben

I doubt the UK release will have a dub either... the UK Millennium Actress DVD didn't. It's pretty much unheard of for a UK company to have a dub produced themselves (recently anyway).

Anyway, this is great news ^^ Now it looks like there's actually a chance for me to order this DVD... though I'll have to wait until online stores actually have copies of the replacement version, which could be a while -_-

Nice to see the Studio fixing/admiting there is a problem.

TomOpus

Good news but I'm gonna hold off until I read how this all washes out.

darqleo

It doesn't seem to pay to be an early adopter with GitS titles (referring also to the problems with the TV series DVD/CDs). Good thing I've procrastinated on picking any of them up. Thanks for the info!

Rypro 525

wonder if they will lower the height of the subs as well (i think they are a tad high but still don't mind them.

darmok

dumb question, but what is the "sidebar" of the dvd? would this be the security seal on the top edge of the case that usually contains printing (title)?

Chris Tribbey

By sidebar, I believe he meant spine...

The funny thing is, Dreamworks first said this was purposeful, that it wasn't a mistake (at least, that's what the first email replies to angry fans said). Something vague and silly about it being for owners of older TVs that don't handle CC.

Whoever wrote that response probably didn't realize that the audio track is only in Japanese, since if the audio was in English that would make perfect sense.

Good news. DreamWorks!

Jepthah

YES!

Now to find a corrected copy at the stores...online this could be a pain. Any word on when stores will get the replacements, or has anyone here seen them yet at a national retailer?

buckee1

Thanks for the info. Just picked this one up today. My spine was "V4"-less so, I'm waiting for my mailer as well.

eau

I don't think Dreamworks actually do recall on the DVD. So it will take some time before the V4 gets through the distribution to the retailers.

Gamelore

Anyone receive the mailer yet? I signed up on the first day, but haven't heard any feedback or received anything in the mail.

On a similar note, anyone receive a replacement to the GITS:SAC OST, GITS:SAC 1 DTS, or GITS:SAC 2 DTS/DD discs? I sent all 4 discs in at once but haven't received anything back yet.

eau

People reportedly received all their replacement discs for their GITS:SAC in the past couple of weeks. They sent in theirs in November tough.

Still have yet to receive my replacement pack for GITS: Innocence, but I'm a patient man
