Ghostbusters 8 disc Gift Set: Further details revealed

Interestingly, no website other than Walmarts mentions the box glowing at all. Even the official video on the Ghostbusters YouTube channel just says that it’s in collectable packaging. Are the glowing features of Walmart exclusive?

The exact same in the same order, and then the TV cut for nostalgia’s sake.

Packshots of the actual item from a facebook group I’m in.

Knew it. From the Ghostbusters U.K. group:

So, to anybody picking up the Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection from the UK. Just to let you know that the sets being sold on Amazon UK/Zaavi/HMV etc do not have the digital codes and light up feature on the Ghost Trap.

“Thanks for reaching out. Not sure if these are rumors necessarily, as our UK press sheet specifically did not mention a light-up component for that set…that aspect is North America only. The UK listings also don’t call out digital, as digital is not included internationally.” - Sony Contact (thank you to Paul Rudoff from Spook Central)

I wonder if their ghost trap packaging is more like a slipbox, then.

And an unboxing video:

That’s probably the existing EU electronics import regulations rearing its head again.

A pity, but not a deal-breaker (the batteries would end up dying out sooner or later anyway).

Pointless annoying complaint: I was asked to hold off unboxing/reviews until the 1st. :angry:

You got the whole 8 disc set?? Can you spill on the deleted scenes for GB2 at least.

can you tell us about a few of the GB2 deleted scenes at least not all of them just one or 2 scenes included in this box set

I don’t personally care about these omissions but it sucks they’re charging twice as a much as in the US for no particular reason.

If deadderek was asked to hold off on unboxing/reviews until February 1, then he can’t spill on anything until then. If people’s pre-orders are coming in early, they may dish but if not, it’s only a 3 day wait for the embargo to lift.

Looks like Best Buy orders have been shipped early, there’s a few unboxings on Youtube, and a photo or two on Reddit. Just a matter of time until the full details of the dallies and GBII scenes are out there.

My guesses for the 19 scenes are;

(picture heavy)

  1. Ecto1 breaks down after leaving birthday party

  2. World of the Psychics (Original Pre-Reshoot)

  3. Extended Ray’s Occult Books

We get stiffed once again, just like on the 1+2 steelbook

Im actually disappointed a bit, besides the special features. I was hoping those were black cases and not slip covers, with the basic releases.

Does anyone know if the blu rays in the US set a multi region? Cheers

Got mine from Amazon UK this morning, but unfortunately haven’t had time to look into it yet, hopefully I’ll get a chance later this evening and can confirm what new GBII deleted scenes are included.

Sorry but what do you mean they can dish? That sounds like it’s ok?

A review is an opinion tho, right? An unboxing is pictures, right? Saying what deleted scenes are included in a set that costs fans over a 100 dollars for a company that constantly double dips should be ok, no? That’s just information.

I gotta ask..who made this rule? I mean… Why would saying what deleted scenes are included in something be a problem? Can whoever did this explain their thinking because…here’s the thing. Sony didn’t tell us what deleted scenes are included. That wasn’t an accident.

Anyways, deadderek, if you read this, If you could be so kind to PM me about the GB2 deleted scenes, I think that might be allowed.

I’m all for rule following. I get it for unreleased movies. But this seems..odd. A review embargo, unboxing, ok. That’s something I can understand. But telling us what scenes are included? For people who haven’t had their sets shipped, and if those people don’t like what’s been included or not included, this could save them a lot of money.

Not trying to be difficult. I’m just trying to understand.

We’re over 24 hours in to these things arriving to fans (sans embargoes) and still no breakdown of the content. Sooooo much talk about packaging, though.

yeah it’s a little frustrating not knowing exactly what this set contains, especially at its price.
