I think this new release is the original version, so without the cg and other tweaks that made up the 2.0 version.
They released the original cut on blu ray as the 25th-anniversary edition but that was only released in the US on region A. The thing about the 25th-anniversary edition is that it has messed up audio and lacks the 5.1 Japanese mix from the dvd from what I can remember. This is probably the same disc with the same issues and although falling short of what GITS deserves it'll probably be the best blu ray version we can get here in Region B countries.

Seems like a good price for this new re-release of GITS, in time for the live-action version.
If you don't have Prime, you can pre-order it for £9.99 from Base, here.
And you can pre-order the double-pack Blu-Ray that also includes 'Innocence' for £15.99 from Zavvi, here.
