I also went for the version with the exclusive keyring, the game will come with a t-shirt too from the right site.

demoni · 06-13-2009, 06:00 PM

Mine was sent from Play yesterday. Wanted the keyring, but they had the version without for a 2 for £22 deal, so I bought that one instead.

Can't wait to see this again. Lot's of fun.

garlad · 06-13-2009, 06:04 PM

mine has been shipped too!!! Cant wait to see it again - looking forward to the game too! Like demoni, mine was part of the 2 for 22 so no key ring for me!

Just picked this up in HMV for £12.99

demoni · 06-16-2009, 04:07 PM

Got it in my mailbox today!

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 06-16-2009, 06:09 PM

Watching it at the moment, I'm very impressed with both the pq and aq.

Though the last time I saw this movie was on VHS.. so it's bound to look good!

I agree!! Just finished it, and it looks great! Grain as intended and a very natural look.

Great movie as well!!

I watched it. It looked great but it was one in the back of my mind that still thought it could look better. The grain did not bother me to much.

Not all catalogue titles look like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that's a shame, but I still think Ghostbusters looks great. Maybe it's because (as one of the other posters said as well) I haven't seen it since I saw it on VHS.

I only really noticed the grain in the first 10 minutes.. I tend to get so lost in films I miss alot of imperfections.. not a bad thing really.

I've been thinking about getting Ghostbusters 1 on Blu-ray (why isn't Ghostbusters 2 on Blu-ray yet?) and would like to know exactly what kind of special features to expect. I don't have either the Blu-ray or DVD yet as Amazon.co.uk and Hmv.com don't seem to list them on the product pages.

The listing below is from the back of the DVD when I saw it in a shop. I didn't buy either as I wanted to make sure that I was getting the same stuff and possibly more content on Blu-ray.

The listing of special features on the DVD is as follows:
Video Commentary with Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis
Storyboard Split-screen Comparison
Still Storyboards - Meet the SFX team
SFX Before and After - Ghostly Photo Gallery
Behind the Scenes - Featurette and Interviews
Concept Drawings
Deleted Scenes
Theatrical Trailer

Also, what is the picture and audio quality like on the Blu-ray? I haven't seen many good reviews about it.

Eidolon · 01-31-2010, 10:41 AM

the picture is fine, grainy in places, but that's what to expect from a film from that time, on that stock.
Extras are fairly decent, but it lacks a couple of things from the USr1 DVD, and the BD-Live is underused, as is always the case with Sony. There's a lot more they could have included really.
It's worth having. It can often be bought cheap. Tescos have it for £10, and GameStation are doing a load of BDs for under a fiver, including this one.

Billz · 01-31-2010, 02:41 PM

Thanks for the info. I'll pick it up next time I get something else from GameStation.

Freeco · 01-09-2011, 06:17 PM

Sorry to blow the dust of a year-old topic...
I'm pretty new to BluRay movies (own only about 10 yet) and finally got around to watch the extra's on my Ghostbusters disc.

The box says there are 2 exclusive ringtones, but I can't find those anywhere. I guess they need to be downloaded via BD-live, but other than some previews for other movies there's nothing on that.
I noticed Live-chat no longer works either, so maybe Sony decided to remove everything from its servers??

I'm using TotalMedia Theatre 3 on my HTPC and not a hardware player, but TMT should support BD-live. Guess the software isn't to blame...

Anybody that could help out?

It's possible that the features are no longer there, you've used BD Live using your player on other blu-rays? It might be a firewall issue otherwise.

Eidolon · 01-09-2011, 08:10 PM

the ringtones were never included. CineChat stopped working months ago.

Freeco · 01-10-2011, 08:02 AM

No, I don't own a hardware bluray player, only the HTPC with bluray drive.
I do have a connection to BD-live, but I only see previews for other movies. That's a great extra for movies: commercials!

Well that's just great! Putting 'lies' on the box. Reminds me of Microsoft with it downloadable extra's for Vista Ultimate. Other from a couple of lame things nothing else was ever published.

Don't care one bit about the CineChat feature though. It's just something I tried in the debugging process.
