The idiot that posted above you, that was ridiculous.
First off, I'm not an idiot, f**kstick. Two, this is the same guy who went & bought Gladiator only to return it to the store complaining about basically what I was talking about all along. Studios using inferior prints & using said print to press blu-ray copies, ripping off fans & consumers alike. Its all about quality.

That slime I bet is the same thing from the TMNT toys.
This box set has flaws, for one it still says "GHOSTBUSTERS" with plain ol' lettering, as opposed to with a no-ghost sign implanted in it...2nd, the Stay Puft figurine looks stupid, 3rdly, the special features appear to be lacking (if it's the same as the 2005 release, which means the transfer sucks as well...). However, I feel it's kind of necessary, for me at least, to purchase this, 'cause it draws attn to itself, just by its thickness, and makes it obvious how important GHOSTBUSTERS and GB2 are to me. Not that anyone looks at my DVD Collection, but you really never know...

No sale. I'm waiting for this set to be a blu-ray version. Then I'd definately pick it up. And when they do, GBII better have a commentary, at least one featurette of decent length (20 to 30 minutes, at least), trailers, tv spots, and deleted scenes. Oh, and if they could throw in the MST3K-style shadow commentary from the original dvd, that would be great !
Aren't they about to do the third movie and then of course produce another box set in the future?

Sony can never ever seem to release the Ghostbusters films the way it should be released. F**k the sh** toys. How about striking a new print of the movie from the original negative, getting it digitally remastered & press some new blu-ray copies. Jesus Howard Christ, how hard is it, Sony, to take one of your biggest sellers & have a proper release. The film print thats used to make copies of the DVD, is the same damn print thats been used since 1985 when it first hit video! WTF!! There was so much grain on the blu-ray release, I thought I bought a box fu**ing Wheaties.
But it's got a Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!
I was hoping the DVDs would be better.
You KNOW that slime is going to go bad the day you open it.

I bought the Ghostbusters BD from Amazon for $10. While I can understand the complaints about the PQ it was better than the DVD. Plus, it had all the extras from the original release and more. I also want GB 2 on BD though.
'Who you gonna call to buy this?' Not me!!!
WOW!!! For only $40 I can buy the exact same box set that I've owned for years and get a couple of cheap toys in a box that I don't have room for. NO THANKS!
Where's G2 on Blu-ray?
so the slime that comes with it, i assume it'll be that same slime many toys had in the 80s? cuz that stuff was messy and gooey. i had some with a TMNT toy set and my word. lol
I don't know why you guys are complaining about this one. We needed a better one than the c**ppy two set with just a book.
What about the collectible book that was with the last box set?
We really need a special edition of Ghostbusters 2. I just bought the soundtrack in it's original long box packaging the other week, and I've been listening to it nearly non stop! This movie, though not as good as the original, desrves the same respect!
I'm so buying this
I don't need some dumpy figure of the SPMM. I haven't even seen Ghostbusters II yet. Where's that Blu-ray?!
This is garbage, NOTHING new? Wow.

Ditto!!
While the Marshmallow man is cute I just can't see any reason to spend almost $20 or so more dollars for a few trinkets.

Pass
As much as I want to support Ghostbusters I won't be getting this. Until GB2 gets released with some worthwhile special features my old dvd will do fine. Still haven't bought GB1 on blu yet, though I will when its at reduced price. The reviews it got on PQ weren't that complimentary.
This is all like trying to turn you away from the fact that 2 has not been released on Blu-Ray. I still want this for the stuff, but If they release something else before part 2 on Blu-Ray. I'm calling them >
.
Also, I think this is a release because when 1 was released on Blu-Ray it was going to have a toy, slime, and the second movie. So maybe this is like an apology. But why didn't they release the f**king second movie on Blu-Ray???

i'm a huge ghostbusters fan, but there's no way i'm buying this, i already have the 2 disc dvd set, definitely not worth the re-purchase, if it was a BD upgrade for both, then i might be sold. i think id rather get the marshmallow man bank from the SDCC
LAAAAAMMME. How about a director's cut of Ghostbusters II? Or at least a SE with all of the deleted scenes. If any movie is begging for that treatment, it's GB2.
Already owner of the R4 which includes greek subtitles 
that's been out in Australia for a while. and was also welcomed with angry yawns
Why no Blu-Ray release? I was on the fence about buying Ghostbusters on Blu-Ray because i figured there'd be a 2-pack with 1 and 2 by the holidays on blu-ray. I guess we'll see.
