Deal Details
Amazon has Ghost In the Shell (4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital) on sale for $9.99. Shipping is free w/ Prime or on $35+ orders.

Thanks to Deal Hunter doublehelixx for finding this deal.

About the film:
  • Set in the year 2029 and following World Wars III and IV, a Japanese-led Asian block dominates world affairs. The alliance maintains its international supremacy through its elite security force whose cybernetically enhanced operatives tackle an array of hi-tech terrorists and other threats to international security. These augmented agents can "ghost hack" (i.e., download their consciousness) via the now omnipresent internet into other machines and human/machine cross breeds. Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cybernetically augmented female agent, has been tracking a virtual entity known as the Puppet Master with her crack squad of security agents. The shape-shifting Puppet Master, a rogue creation of a rival agency of the security apparatus, has concluded that it is a life form in its own right, "born in sea of information," and requested political asylum and true physical existence in defiance of its creators.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

This was released 30 years ago and takes place 4 years from now. I'm getting Back To The Future 2 vibes thinking about it. Anyway, this movie inspired The Matrix. It was ahead of its time and still holds up. I recommend.

WTF. Amazes me how a company can put this on a 4k disc and fall short of expectations for image quality. Is there some criterion copy floating around that is universally praised for the image, audio and translation quality??? 😆
Secret time: I confess that I'll throw on the scarjo version once every 2-3 yrs. But I'll watch it with the original Japanese VO dub to feel more authentic. It works!

There's a better or more definitive version on Amazon Japan, but it costs over $40+ to get it shipped over.

I've got my eye on that one but waiting for a better deal on it. $40+ is a bit pricey to get this movie for the collection, but I also don't want to squander $10 if it won't hit the spot.

$40 seems pretty reasonable looking at the eBay prices if you're talking about the Bandai Visual release.

Is it sold out? I'm not seeing a way to purchase at that price.

That $10 McDonalds meal might not hit the spot either, but life's short; pay the $10 and take the ride. You deserve it. 😉

It is this version. Blu-Ray.com's forum recommended that version to get as close to definitive as possible.

Just go see Japan and pick it up for cheap! Japan is AMAZING and the YEN Is way down!
The USA's inflation rate has been nothing compared to most of the World, no matter what 1/2 of us believe..

Edit: Disregard. I saw your post further down already answering this. Also, just noticed the relevant username LMAO

You have a link? This one of my favorite movies of all time. So I'm OK paying a premium to get it in the best possible format. Does it require a region-free player, though?

It is Region Free. Meaning there's no code lock. I checked my post and the Blu-Ray.com link confirms that product is Region Free.

A Region Free disk = you can play it in any/all players
A Region A disk = you will need to play it in a Region A player, or a Region Free/All Regions player (for Region B/C/etc. it is the same scenarios)
