Quoting The Digital Bits. Also started a new thread as a search came up with multiple threads with various old dates in the thread title for the disc.

“Okay… speaking of title announcements, here's an official one hot off the wires: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will indeed be releasing Ghostbusters on Blu-ray Disc on 6/16, in celebration of the film's 25th anniversary and timed to coincide with the release of Atari's Ghostbusters: The Video Game the same day. The Blu-ray (SLP $38.96) will include most (if not all) of the previous DVD extras, including audio commentary with Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis and Joe Medjuck, 10 deleted scenes, storyboard comparisons and 3 featurettes (The Making of Ghostbusters, Interviews with Cast and Crew and SFX Team with before and after multi-angle explorations). New features for the Blu-ray include a Slimer Mode picture-in-picture viewing option (featuring an examination of the spook-hunters' firehouse headquarters, an in-depth exploration of the creatures in the Ghostbusters mythology, behind-the-scenes discussions of making the movie, new cast, crew and special effects artists interviews and much more), the Ecto-1: Resurrecting the Classic Car featurette, a Ghostbusters Garage: Ecto-1 Gallery and a 32-page scrapbook. The title will also include BD-Live connectivity, offering additional features (TBA). FYI, there's no official word yet on Ghostbusters 2, but we'll check on it.”

The Digital Bits has a tiny update today about Ghostbusters 2 on Blu. It appears the film is being held for a later date for a special release on it's own. It'd be great to see some behind the scenes material from the movie.

No news on new dvd releases of the 2 films? I'd like to think they could put those BD extras into a new standard dvd releases. To contain the new extras make them a double disc release/film. Can't let those sad releases from 2005 be the regular dvds. One should just go back to the 1999 ones for those, although GB2 dvd in any release isn't saying much.

I suspect Sony will release another set on DVD for the 25th anniversary. Usually DVDs don't get announced until about four months before their target date. For a time, Sony was quite the infamous double-dippers on DVD. Wasn't there a Stay-Puft figurine DVD collector's set announced while back?

this is so gunna be my dvd of the year, cant wait, and with bill murray hinting he might be willing to do a new film, who knows what the next dvd will be


problem is, he looks old now, but not that old, he could certainly strap on the proton pack for just 1 more outing
