A limited edition boxed set of the Ghost in the Shell: SAC CDs is coming out of the market with an OST 4. To refresh everyone’s memory, the different Ghost in the Shell: SAC OST releases are roughly named as follows:

Ghost in the Shell: SAC OST 1 - with Inner Universe
Ghost in the Shell: SAC OST 2 - with Rise
Ghost in the Shell: SAC OST 3 - with Christmas in the Silent Forest
Ghost in the Shell: SAC SSS OST - with Player
Ghost in the Shell: SAC OST Be Human - The CD dedicated to the Tachikomas

So the SSS OST isn’t really OST 4, although a lot of people refer to it that way.

Details:
Release Date: August 22, 2007 September 5, 2007
Price w/o Shipping through Amazon: ￥11,700 (about 95.30 USD)
Includes: OST+, OST2, OST3, SSS OST, be Human, OST4
Flash memory stick: 256MB, Tachikoma colored, voice samples (Tachikoma, Major, Batou), unreleased tracks, wallpapers, commercials, video clips, etc.

Imagine the number of fans who couldn’t sleep without knowing the song that played on this scene in that episode. I guess they have a conscience after all.
