Which version of Innocence to buy?

I watched the movie online the other day, and now I want to purchase it, but in looking for it, I see there was some issue with one of the releases.

Something about no English dubbing, and poorly done Subtitles.

I was looking at this one http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Shell-Vol-2-Innocence/dp/B001K98MFA/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288130986&sr=8-1, and was wondering if I'm safe in assuming that the Bandai release, does in fact come with the dubbed track, and solid subtitles.

I know it says it right there, I'm just trying to be sure, before I buy ;)

The idiotic thing about Amazon is that they put the same reviews on EVERY edition of their movies. The Bandai release that you have the link for is the exact release I just bought, and upon watching it now I can assure you that it is in English AND Japanese; The English dub is good and you can disable subtitles, and there's a Japanese dub with subtitles included.

The version you've read so much about is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Shell-Innocence-Akio-%C3%94tsuka/dp/B0006A9FMI/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1405183993&sr=1-1&keywords=ghost+in+the+shell+2+innocence
Hope I helped.

It depends if your player is region-free or not... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ghost-in-the-Shell-2-Innocence-2-Disc-Special-Ed-NEW-DVD-R4-/371648657941?hash=item5687fc7a15:g:f8sAAOSwtJZXVYpH

Also... https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000BY9ALU/qid=1141143887/sr=8-2/ref=pd_ka_2/026-8671484-2462804
The two-disc version is dubbed by the Stand Alone Complex cast, with some special features and a pristine transfer with 5.1 english, spanish, and original japanese dialog... and the second disc is the same movie, this time with DTS audio (which just blows 5.1 out of the water if you have the system for it)... the catch is, the two-disc version is hard to find.
With enough searching, you can find it, though usually not R1, so if your player isn't region-hacked, you might be able to find something for your computer to bypass/ignore region-encoding.
