I have a gift card from Best Buy and I wanted to buy Ghost in the Shell: Stand
Alone Complex on DVD. But between Best Buy's website and Amazon there appear
to be five box sets available. Does anyone know which version has the most
content, and maybe which one's packaging is the easiest to take DVDs out of?
Is there a collection that has both seasons or are they always separated?

What is the most complete Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex DVD set to buy?


As stated from [this
subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/2fpb2k/what_is_the_best_way_to_watch_ghost_in_a_shell/),
the _complete_ box set should include (in chronological order):

  1. Ghost in the Shell (1995)
  2. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
  3. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
  4. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig
  5. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society
  6. Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border 1: Ghost Pain
  7. Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border 2: Ghost Whispers
  8. Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border 3 Ghost Tears
  9. Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border 4: Ghost Stands Alone

Note that for the SAC, you only need #3-5. I found [this
copy](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ghost-in-the-shell-stand-alone-complex-
complete-collection-7-discs-dvd/8044047.p?skuId=8044047), which I think is
your best bet. If you find if for cheaper elsewhere, you can use Best Buy's
[Price Match Guarantee](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/price-match-
guarantee/pcmcat290300050002.c?id=pcmcat290300050002) to get it for the lowest
possible price. You may also be able to find this for cheaper secondhand on
sites like [Ebay](http://www.ebay.com/).*

In addition, if you want to buy the _100% complete_ box set (with all of the
above titles), I found [this one](http://www.ebay.com/itm/GHOST-IN-THE-SHELL-
Complete-Box-Set-8-Disc-English-Japanese-Audio-
Region-0-/281701724365?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368&autorefresh=true) on Ebay,
which _appears_ to have all of the necessary contents (double check this if
you are going to buy it, it's your money not mine*), but I couldn't seem to
find an equivalent on Amazon or Best Buy. They seem to have many copies of all
the different volumes and movies, but I couldn't find an entirely complete box
set.

However, if your meaning of _best_ does not mean _complete_ , then please edit
your question to reflect what you want, as noted by @Hakase and @senshin.
