Just ordered mine, can't wait!

Maybe it's just me but... shouldn't this guy have a second leg?
It looks like he is getting out of the black background, but that would mean is right leg is at this particular moment exactly behind the red diagonal line, in the correct angle. The more I look at it the stranger it looks. Just like Bruce's fingers on the Die Hard 4.0 steelbook.
Google pictures shows me one DVD cover on which he has a right leg, all the other ones are like this one right here.
Kind of strange.

Yeah, you're right. Hope that gets fixed.

Its actually a reworking of the logo, the original logo he had two legs, but the reworked logo he isn't supposed to as he is a ghost and is supposed to be just sort out floating there on his tail which forms a sort of leg.

EDIT - Ive got a bunch of official licensed GB2 bits and the logo's are all the reworked logos, so it is how its supposed to be.

Anyone had any movement on the GB1 steel yet that they ordered with this one?

 

[mbennett76]

so chuffed, just got GB1 for £4.50 with a discount code and GB2 now for £13.50, don't think i've seen the movies (or not in a long time) so should be a good watch!

No. I have received an email from them telling me they apologize for not having dispatched it yet and that they are working with their suppliers. From my personal experience this is the sign that they do not have it in stock lol... So I sent them a message telling that if they are not able to supply me with the first movie, then I will not buy the second one and they can cancel both of them.

I think it looks slightly clearer and sharper but still has a layer of grain especially in night-time scenes. It's not a major improvement but an improvement nonetheless.

Sorry mate, not very good at reviews. You might want to look at some reviews online.

This YouTube video shows 'Ghostbusters 2009 Blu-Ray vs. 2013 Mastered in 4K Blu-Ray Comparison', you will need to change settings to 1080HD to see the difference.

Myself and many others on the other forum disagree; it's a major improvement.

Just watched that comparison video and I actually prefer the picture at times on the 2009 version. Only thing I noticed better on the 2013 version was slimer looked a bit better and the trees in the park. Although when I play my version it's much more grainy than the comparison videos

Whaaaa? Maybe it's because you're watching a compressed YouTube video...

Yeah I got that same email too, I ordered gb1 and 3 copies of gb2 for me and my mates as a gift, but I'll be cancelling them all if I get stiffed on gb1 for sure

At least they managed to get the logo the right way round this time, I couldn't bring myself to buy the Ghostbusters steelbook because of that mirrored logo.

 

[thewoe]

Really cant wait for this,..... seems like soooooooo far away.

 

[stinkofdefeat]

Ordered this due to FS cancelling their steelbook.

 

[elchipo]

Any idea when inside and back art will be unveiled?

 

[BluSteel2012]

NEVER!!!

 

[spookz]

Will this include the new re-mastered version?

 

[lolwut]

Will this include the new re-mastered version?

This is the first time it's being released on Blu-ray, so yes.

 

[Shadow of Light]

Hope this comes back in stock prior to release date. Somehow, mine got cancelled

 

[picolezero]

I just checked my Zavvi orders and I had two orders with this steelbook.
One with Ghostbusters for 4.99 and other just for Ghostbusters 2.
The only order that remains is the one with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2.
The order that had only Ghostbusters 2 got cancelled.

 

[thewoe]

Im really looking forward to this, Only 6 days to go

 

[vurt]

Looking forward to this as well but it worries me that we haven't seen the back artwork yet!
