*My question is, "Why release this on the GB1 Blu-Ray?!“…Why not use that space, for I dunno, um - THE FORT DETMERRING SEQUENCE?! Or maybe the ”Criterion“ stuff? The ”SFX Museum“ Boss Films Footage? The WForsche GB1 BTS footage? The Ray Parker Jr. ”Ghostbusters“ music video even? There's a WEALTH of ”outside" GB1 material to be mined or added to their own releases, that it's ridiculous…

*Rights be damned - SONY owns GB, and on top of that is a multi-million dollar conglomerate - Getting the rights to this material, if they don't already own a particular one lock-stock-and-barrel, I'm sure they can secure the rights to it…

*I mean - Why not put that “featurette” where it belongs - ON THE GAME ITSELF (*egon)(*janine)(*peter)…

*RANT OVER*

*Cheers.

I kind of agree, but as far as the making-of the game, maybe they should do like they did with Gutar Hero, and make the video one of the unlockables.(*peter) Also, I know that Blu-Ray discs hold way more info than a standard DVD, but I don't think the game would benifit from having any extra features that aren't dirctly gameplay related.

Plus, its only gonna boost sales for the game… maybe some people will buy the Bluray without knowing about the game (I know, unlikely… but possible). I mean, it can't hurt, and the space is there. Its not like they're using the last of the space to put this on.

*Well they could add an extra “making-of” dvd into the package for the game like they did for “God Of War” and I think one or two “Spider-Man” games, and include the trailers and promotional material as well…They could make it an “buyer incentive”, and being as though they are treating the game like an “interactive movie”, why NOT have a “Special Features” disc, ala an actual movie?(*egon)(*peter)…

*True, but as you hinted at, The PR blitz that's coming with both the game AND the blu-rays, there is no way in hell that even the casual fan will not know about the game or vice-versa…If nothing else if they MUST put something “game related” on the GB1 blu-ray, a simple trailer would suffice…

*So in the end, putting the “making of” the game on the GB1 blu-ray makes as much sense in the long-run as putting the deleted scenes for GBII on the GB1 disc, and not on the actual GBII disc…

well that's cool. More GB stuff is never bad. Now I am not sure whether to wait for the 2 Blu Ray pack or just pick up GB1.

I shall get a Blu-Ray player so i can get ‘Beware the Moon’ on the ‘American Werewolf…’ disc when it comes out. I saw some pretty cheap ones the other day, so it's not too bad. May as well then get Ghostbusters too!
