Yeah, I’m talking a UK release. Poor UK fans still have only [Season 1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters/season-1) from Sony. 😢

Box 2 is going to be released next week - I got my copy today and took a quick look into it:

The Set includes all of [Season 3](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/season-3) to 7 as well as all [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer) Episodes. Just like Box 1 it includes the german Dub as well as the original english Audio and again uses the Time Life Masters (minus the Commercial Bumpers) - however unlike the Time Life Set the [Season 5](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/season-5) episodes who run too fast have been corrected and now run the way they should 😃

Were the [Season 4](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/season-4) episodes affected as well?

Regarding the German box sets, do they use the original title cards, or the ones from the German broadcast?

I assume the pilot isn’t included, right?

@ pferreira1983:

No, it was just [season 5](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/season-5).

@ Funktion:

As posted above: The Set uses the Time Life Masters, including the englisch Titlecards. Sadly the Pilot is not included ☹

Cool thanks for the info. By the way I think you posted in The Technodrome forum about Ninja Turtles on DVD in Germany? I know that the blu-ray set for the series didn’t go down well. Isn’t KSM mastering of show’s supposed to be better than the USA?

I’m sad I bought all the volumes on PlayStation. They miss loads . I will need to buy this. Is the menu easy to read?

Did I hear that right? The Region 2 DVD restores the episodes from the 1989 season to their original length of 21 minutes (without opening and ending)?

What about the half-length episodes? Are they restored to their original 14-minute form (again, with out opening and ending)?

I mentioned this in another thread just now but being as i was talking about this DVD set I felt I should post it here. The episode ‘Slimer, is that you?’ from Box set 1 is the [Kath Soucie](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/kath-soucie) and [Dave Coulier](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/dave-coulier) dubbed version for some reason. The remaining episodes of that season/box are all the original [Lorenzo Music](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/lorenzo-music) and [Laura Summer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/laura-summer) versions though.

I recently bought the [season 1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters/season-1) and 2 set. I’m from the UK and don’t speak a word of German but that’s fine because the booklet contains translations for all the episode titles. The menu system is very easy to use (all on the one screen); just remember to select English audio before you play any episodes and you’re good to go.

My main motivation for buying this was to save wear and tear on my TL set and this seems to serve that purpose. I would prefer it if the DVD fastenings in the case were a bit easier to use (you have to press quite hard and be very careful with the discs at the same time) but the booklet, postcard and stickers are a pleasant surprise.

Sadly, the text in the booklet about the making of the RGB cartoon series is in German but maybe a German speaking Ghosthead with a fondness for translation work can help there.

All in all, a great opportunity for anyone who missed out on the TL set or wants to protect their TL set.

Hey guys 'n gals-

I have a question about this German region 2 ‘Die komplette Serie’ release…

On [Amazon.de](http://Amazon.de?tag=gbfans-discourse-20), they’re selling the 21-disc DVD set for 79,99€ and the 3-disc blu-ray set for 43,99€…

I take it the picture and sound quality is exactly the same…

Is there a reason why one would opt for the more expensive and place consuming DVD edition?

Which edition would you guys recommend?

Wow, I was unaware it got a (SD on BD) Blu-Ray release.

I’ll have to get it one of these days.

I can’t help you with this particular release, but I own a few similar ones from this label (for example, Parker Lewis), and these usually have the same content, the same quality, and same special features, on less discs, and in a much more reliable and durable format (BD compared to DVD). And, they usually end up being a lot cheaper.

This label’s DVD sets may feature collectable packaging, or a pretty booklet and physical extras, but frankly, I’ll take the durability of the BD format and less shelf space, and lower price tag, over physical extras or pretty packaging.

It may not be an official release, just to inject a word of caution.

Why do you say that?

This label is legit, and is one of the main labels in terms of TV releases in Germany.

Initially the price and the fact it was advertising itself as a the complete series seemed off (and the front cover image still strikes me as a bit ‘off’, by not having the Sony logo on the front cover, and having an off-model Ghostbusters logo), not to mention it looking distinctly different from everything we’ve seen so far. But I could be jumping the gun upon further reflection.

The Sony logo is on the side of the packaging, and the back:

I see this one on Amazon [Amazon.co.uk](https://www.amazon.co.uk/REAL-GHOSTBUSTERS-1-10-10-DVD/dp/B073VRG3XS?pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&tag=gbfans-discourse-20) but 1 review says it’s missing episodes which seems odd. Why do 100+ episodes and just leave off like 30-40 ?
