Ghost in the Shell: SAC set from UK - what version?
I've seen that there's a complete box set for SAC from Amazon UK for about 30 pounds. Can anyone verify if this is the SE versions of the discs or just the standard? Any information is appreciated.
BTW - in comparison, is the US box set the SE edition?
thanks.

nope. its the complete series for £30 :
http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page...=57&g=72&pa=sr
amazon got the listing for it muddled. always better info at play.com for UK releases.
and the answer to the original Q is that this 7-disc set collects the standard editions together. theres also a tin here in the UK with the DTS 2-disc sets collected together (so you get all 14 discs then), but the price is more expensive that the Amazon.com listing for the USA version of the same thing.
amazon.co.uk :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...190883-6120760
originally they accidentall put the LOG picture in this listing, so some of the cat nos might be wrong. but yes, the UK got a complete series set for £30.

i think thats the case - the 2-disc editions of each volume gave everyone access to DTS, but i actually bought the lesser volumes as they were issued on R1 because i wasnt bothered about DTS and the price (i think) would have taken it over the £18 threshold for customs duty in the UK (or at least, uncomfortably close). might want to register and ask in a more anime-oriented / specialty forum - animeondvd.com has the most knowledgable in my opinion - i only buy little anime in comparison and am not too overly bothered about the specifics, but i get a sense that if you want the DTS then you want the R1 tin from amazon.com, if you want to watch the episodes with non-DTS then the UK 7-disc set will do.
