The only bummer is that there's no extras on these things. The first Ghostbusters blu ray had a lot of fun stuff on it.

So you enjoy people asking the same questions over and over again?

This thread's been going a long time and I have to believe everyone would know that that question is something that's been discussed somewhere in the thread. It's jut extra-frustrating for those of us who have been posting in here because discussion of the new Ghostbusters transfer probably makes up at least 40 of the thread's 90 pages, if not more.

you don't have to write a dissertation, a sentence will do...
Ghostbusters (4K) is an absolutely superb disc (from a presentation standpoint.. obviously if you value extras, you should go for the other one).

Hasn't been announced, but the exisiting disc is already from a 4K transfer, so any improvement will be marginal.

Like Taxi Driver, it was already mastered in 4K prior to its BD release.

the fact that Sony are being redundant in releasing prior 4K transfers and advertising them as new 'Mastered in 4K' discs minus the supplements just reeks of stupidity, and in turn makes the buyer look foolish in thinking that the new version is somehow superior.

I wonder if Sam Raimi approved the drastic reframing of Spider-Man 2? Sony didn't just add or subtract a few pixels at the top and bottom...they moved the frame big time.

I'd love to see comparison pix and see how bad it looks, when and if I'd ever consider buying Spidey 2

Screencaps taken with a mobile phone:

The old transfer looks "too hot", but the new one looks too soft.

I don't get it. Both those screenshots look to have a magenta/pinkish tint to them, its just that the supposed screenshot from the Mastered in 4K version actuelly looks a lot softer and more blown out with much less detail.

Well, this might be like Ghostbusters, where I think that neither release is worth owning.

Could be but to me, hypothetically, the old release could have all the informative extras in the world, and the new release could be the best looking tittle on Blu-Ray (or vice versa) and I still wouldn't buy either of them. Not because I already own it or because I'm cheap but rather because its a extremely overrated film.
