Ghostbusters Anniversary Blu-Ray Trailer
Sony Pictures has created a brand new trailer for the upcoming new Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters II anniversary Blu-rays.
Available to purchase as individual releases, with Digibook, or a limited edition collector’s set on September 16, 2014 in the United States. It currently be pre-ordered from such sites as Amazon.
New Ghostbusters 4k Blus On Amazon Pre-Order
When Sony announced a limited edition Blu-ray gift set we didn’t know yet if either or both movies would be released individually. From past product experience I figured their would be individual releases too. Naturally a gift set which contains new content, Ghostbusters II with features should for a little while take precedence. Not every ghosthead wants or needs a collectible gift or a box set which retails for a cool Benjamin Franklin. For that kind of money we could buy other Ghostbusters merchandise.
Amazon.com (US) along with the Blu-ray gift set has listed three additional Ghostbusters Blu-ray products depending on your wants or needs.
- Ghostbusters 4k-Mastered
- Ghostbusters II 4k-Mastered
- Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters II 4-K Mastered “Digi Book”
Both Ghostbusters/II single releases can be pre-ordered at $13.99 USD each and the “digi book” can be pre-ordered for $18.99 over retail prices. These three releases will be available on September 16, 2014.

This special gift set will only be available for a very limited time, with the collectible Slimer figurine being a true must-have for fans. Both films have been fully restored and remastered in 4K and will be presented in high definition on Blu-ray from those 4K sources.
Both the Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II Blu-rays come loaded with exclusive bonus materials, including revealing conversations with director Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd, as well as never-before-seen deleted scenes from Ghostbusters II and more.

Ghostbusters Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set
Sony Pictures announcing Ghostbusters will be re-released to theaters this August is big news. Merchandise aside, that could be enough. How does the studio behind Ghostbusters put the icing on the marshmallow? Announce something just as big that ghostheads have been pretty much been waiting for since 1999.
GHOSTBUSTERS II with Special Features!
This is so important, its been emphasized with a 1990s red font! 😀
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is releasing Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (for the first time on Blu-ray) as part of a collectible limited edition gift set. Both movies have been “mastered in 4k,” contain new features, and comes with a exclusive Slimer figurine.
Rory Bruer, president, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures, said,

Ghostbusters Ultimate Hero Pack Coming To Deutschland
Remember that Ultimate Hero Pack we told you is coming to France a week ago? The Ghostbusters Deutschland have posted about a similar set with the same Slimer/”No Ghost” logo statue coming to their country on September 30, 2014.
The only thing that seems different if the artwork is final is the “no ghost” logo on the packaging. The Ghostbusters logo was officially altered for marketing purposes during Ghostbusters 25th Anniversary. Which let’s be honest, was silly. So I guess 3 fingers is suppose to mean 30th Anniversary. Only thing is the 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters logo, from Sony looks like this:
Or maybe it works out to mean 3 items included.

Ghostbusters Ultimate Hero Pack Coming To France
Amazon.fr has a pre-order for a Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters II “Ultimate Hero Pack” gift set. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal as Sony (and presumably their international partners) have sold both hit films in the ectoplasmic packaging with a gift before.
What makes this really newsworthy that ironically France is not only getting Ghostbusters on Blu-ray, but Ghostbusters II on Blu-ray as well. As far as anyone on planet Earth knows, this is the first time Ghostbusters II will be released on a high definition format. Further details about whether this Ghostbusters II Blu-ray will have any special features haven’t surfaced. We may not really know until a French ghosthead (or someone who speaks or read French) has this Ultimate Hero Pack in their possession. See what I did their?
This French Blu-ray pack (an Amazon French exclusive) will retail for €80 Euros and some change. Or about $110 USD.
