    From reviews, seems like Blu ray disc is region locked. 4k is fine.

      I think all 4K Blu-ray discs are region free but you're right about the included Blu-ray discs, you can't always guarantee they will work in our region.

      Add something else from Amazon US/UK to cart to get you over the free shipping threshold, then immediately cancel the other item. You'll still get free shipping.

      • Smol Cat on 25/07/2021 - 15:00

        Omg why haven’t I thought about doing this. Genius.

        • Red Pandas on 25/07/2021 - 15:26

          Make sure it’s an item that says ‘out of stock’

          I do this all time

          • matictac on 25/07/2021 - 16:01

            @Red Pandas: Works fine with in stock items too, there always seems to be a bit of processing time with any UK/US items whether they're in stock or not. I'll usually just add whatever other items have popped up in my search for the thing I'm buying, and always manage to immediately cancel them without an issue.

            Did it twice this weekend without problems. :)

              @matictac: If you want to risk it then sure. But sometimes Amazon take a few days to dispatch, then you're sitting there hoping the item you didn't want doesn't get charged and shipped first

              I play it safe and buy out of stock items, which I know aren't in stock for months .Then Amazon can take as long as they'd like, doesn't bother me

                @Red Pandas: Well I guess if you've had that issue before then good call, but I've never come across it. Is there a good way to easily find an out of stock item?

                • Smol Cat on 26/07/2021 - 09:26

                  @Lucretia: How did they patch it though? It's not like they can stop you from adding items and then cancelling those items?

                    @Smol Cat: they made it so you get a warning its part of a deal/promotion so if you do cancel a item the promotion is removed and are charged shipping.

        Probably shouldn't post this hack on a public forum.

        Do it too often and Amazon might flag your account, and send you a please explain.

        Some items get charged immediately, and cannot be cancelled.

        • matictac on 25/07/2021 - 15:59

          Can't comment on my account getting flagged, but I've never had an item get charged immediately, and even if you were charged I'm sure it would just be a temporary hold.

          Did this twice this weekend without issues.

    It's nice to get physical format, but a heads up that this is also $9.99 in 4K Dolby Vision on iTunes for those that are considering.

    • DeToxin on 25/07/2021 - 15:24

      Do you know if there is any noticeable difference in quality between the 4k physical disc version and the iTunes release?

      • Bernbaum on 25/07/2021 - 15:41
        +2

        It appears this UHD version is Dolby Vision as well. Between physical UHD and streamed video, a disc is always going to have more bandwidth and has the advantage of not being subject to the usual limitations of streaming (buffering; various impacts from other traffic on network and/or neighbourhood exchange).

        I have a decent library of 4K content on iTunes and have watched a large volume of Dolby Vision content on Disney+, and a few offerings on Netflix, and they compare well to our small library of physical UHD's (mostly Pixar, David Attenborough docos and a few cherished classics like Blade Runner, Mad Max Fury Road etc). For animated films, I have routinely been impressed with how streamed Dolby Vision content looks on our 65" LG CX. The only issue we have is with occasional blocky crushed blacks in some scenes.

        I would say that for a release like Ghost in the Shell, the differences between the disc and iTunes versions (both Dolby Vision) are going to be near-trivial unless you're really picking over the image with a fine tooth comb.

        Since getting the LG CX, we haven't picked up any new UHD's given that we're satisfied with the quality of streams. For me, I would sooner get the iTunes release of Ghost in the Shell as I don't want a large physical format library anymore. Even films that come in a nice collector's case/steelbook aren't enough to get me to to buy the physical version.

        • Sxio on 25/07/2021 - 21:02

          All good until the Internet craps out in the middle of the movie.

          That's when hard copies look really good.

      • Odin on 26/07/2021 - 09:18

        There's a HUGE difference in quality between a physical blu-ray and a stream.

        actually if the car is abandoned or reported, you can just take it - no one's gonna stop you towing the car back to your place, fixing it up and then driving it! That wont count as stealing by the way

            @Sxio: Lived near an independent video store rental, owned by a Chinaman and he had a dedicated wall around 8m long 2 m tall rack of anime.

            Great way to sink my teeth into the genre and really see the classics that I still love to see.

            And yes sbs had a great library of anime too. Like some I thought I was never going to enjoy. Also sbs played some crazy anime to movie adaptations which had some crazy shit.

            • Sxio on 27/07/2021 - 09:39

              @Kiro: They really did. I only had a blockbuster but it too had an anime section. I checked out EVERY film they had.

              I always felt Ghost in the Shell was a step above everything else though. Still one of my top 5. I watch it at least once a year but honestly, probably a little more.

              My son likes it too. He had no choice to be honest, he's seen it so much!

    Big question is whether this is the original release or the re-done colour grading?

    There was a big debate over the color changes they made to try and make the original match Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence
