Because it was just a trailer?
Does this DVD have anything added to it that the original VHS didn't? Additions like edited cuts re-inserted, or summat?

I hear tell that it's the Eno track.
Edit: just checked the original DVD released in Australia. The unmerged Puppetmaster has a male voice at all times - speaking through the original pirated shell, to Motoko, and also through Motoko to Bateau. Obviously the final merged entity speaks with the female voice of the host body. There is only 1 trailer for GitS on the disc, in English only, and there is no female voice heard from the pirate shell (the male voiceover continues over the top of a shot of the shell speaking).

I have the original, and first in the list of features on the back is "Digitally Remastered."
In the review, a point was made about digital remastering, but it seems as though that is not a new feature.
My guess is that the movie disk is the same as in the original DVD release, and that the Special Edition gives you the 'extras' disk. Which, for me, doesn't make this a must-have.

I checked my special edition (US released). The original (dub) GitS trailer has a womans voice, but in the dubbed movie, the same clip is a male voice, the voice of the puppet master. I wonder why they did that? Maybe when the trailer was made, the english voice actor for the PM hadn't been cast or wasn't available at the time. Or maybe they just wanted to throw people off, I really don't know.

I would guess it was the former, rather than the latter.

Hmmm that implies that they seriously considered changing the PM from JP male to EN female. Or that the trailer producer hadn't seen the original film

Yeah, me too. The extras don't worry me, but a better transfer would. I have the recent R2 PAL "digitally remastered" one and the transfer isn't that great - some noticable digital artifacts - like digital noise on quick scene changeds from too low a bitrate at the time - other than the occasional one of those it is fine.
And no offence to the reviews on this site, they are great from an informational perspective (like if I'd like to buy something story wise), but they don't really do a technical review.

Yeah, I really liked it, but i was wondering. In the original copy, did everything have a purple tint? When I plugged my DVD into my computer, like everything was purplish. Is it just me?

Consider this a warning. It's honestly not a good idea to resurrect a four-year old thread for a one word reply, especially when it adds absolutely nothing of significance.
