I probably should have said “Time-Life jumped the gun”. That would have been more accurate.
i’m sorry…and i’m joking 
We can voice some of our frustrations if we want. They did have us speculating for months when they could have come out before hand and said this was something DVD related and not theatrical I think. Although the DVDs are awesome.
And I think most of us who were frustrated on the forums are upset at ourselves (and not them) for speculating too much. Me included…
2008 is the year for ghostbusters - so much awsomeness going on 
All the signs were there actually.
Once you go back and look at all the little bits of info we had, and look at the announcement flyer from WonderCon.. it becomes kind of obvious that it was some type of video release. (note the Columbia logo, and not the Sony one on the flyer.)
Really.. all they did was say.. “Hey we’ve got a big Ghostbusters Announcement at Comic Con!” and then everyone else just really snow balled it with speculation.
I am not disappointed!
Me either.
you’re right AJ! finally, after all these years i can watch ENTIRELY my favourite cartoon…and now it’s forever! It’s amazing…(i hope that it will be released in italy!).
and then we have a fenomenal videogame…dan was right, it is better tham a third movie: i can watch them and hear their funny lines and interact with them!
I hear you, and I definitely agree. I do have to agree with gbrob, though. There was speculation for months as to what this announcement would be, so how can you not see how it would disappoint some fans when the big announcement ends up being something we already knew?
Even so, I was amongst the people saying I didn’t care. I’m not disappointed. Can’t you imagine, though, how much more awesome the announcement today would have been if we didn’t already know about it? Still… Look at all the new Ghostbusters stuff we have coming at us this year. How could we possibly be disappointed? This is such an exiting time to be a Ghostbusters fan!
I know that I’m incredibly psyched! I’ve been waiting for this release for years. I think it’s great that we can finally get a version of this series that is complete and high quality. I’ve gotten tired of the low quality releases and the crappy TV rips circulating the internet, and I’m glad that I can now purchase the series and OWN it.
The only thing that could have made this better is if they would’ve bundled a soundtrack CD.
Totally awesome! I can wait to get it!
I know it said “exclusively” but would something like this box set find it’s way to be sold at Best Buys and Circuit Citys too or is it just from the website?
From what we know.. this collection will not be sold in stores.
Pre-Order: http://www.gbfans.com/real-ghostbusters/pre-order/
If Time-Life is producing the set, then this will only be sold through Time-Life. You can’t purchase their products at retail outlets.
Warner Bros. is releasing The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Get Smart this Fall to Best Buy and such after their exclusive Time-Life contract expired.
That very well could happen down the road, depending on the route Sony wants to go with.
I’m glad this announcement came when it did. I started going through all of my “unlabeled” RGB dvds, watching the episodes and labeling the dvds accordingly. I was to about 10 of 27. Now I can go back to playing video games. :lol:
I know I might be lame, but I’m kind of excited that they are including the cheesy little Slimer and The Real Ghostbuster cartoons. I haven’t seen those since I was a dumb little kid. Now I can watch them as a dumb big adult! :lol:
Just got info from Time-Life.
These DVDs will be Region Free.
Hmm I tryed preordering this last week using that page you have linked to on the site but it doesn’t seam to properly work. I kept getting “Invalid Card Number” errors, but the bank did notice several temporary $1 transactions from TimeLife from me filling out the form serveral times. TimeLife tho last I knew had no recording of my order, so I guess that order page simply doesn’t work right. So…I tryed the New order page on their home page that requires a timelife.com account. Now that page works But the 10% off code TLGHOST doesn’t seam to function properly, as when I proceed to check out it’ll still have the normal price.
Anyone else had these problems?
Try this link again: http://www.gbfans.com/real-ghostbusters/pre-order/
Time Life was having problems last week, but they should be all solved now.
:sigh: still the same as last week, “Invalid Card Number” and probably a $1 temporary deduction in my account again. 
Just as heads up AJ that link doesn’t work in Firefox 3.0.1 on OS X. Atleast I can’t get it to work, but it does work in Safari on OS X.

This may be, but they’ll still be encoded for playback on NTSC DVD players so folks in the UK need to make sure they have a player that does NTSC → PAL conversion.
Well, I have a multi-region player anyway so no probs there… only problem is it looks like it won’t be available in the UK :angryvigo:
The only stuff TimeLife do here are Country and Western CD’s and Elvis Best-of’s as well as other compilation CD’s
