I paid $40 ea about 4 months ago, and now I'm very sorry I did.

Wow! This transfer looks really nice. It's too bad we can't see a comparison with the old R1 release, but I'm betting the new transfers are still better. The colors of the particle beams...wow! I just might have to get this. Plus, it has Citizen Ghost, which I'm happy about. Why they had to put Partners in Slime on there is anybody's guess.

It's also gonna be $12.99 at Best Buy next week.
I might've double-dipped had they included full-screen versions, but I see no real reason to at this point. These movies were meant to fill up your screen.

I never got around to picking up "Ghostbusters 2", so I figure this'll be the perfect way to get it. I'm assuming by the sounds of it though that I should keep my "Ghostbusters" DVD though?

Are those your pictures? If so, do you mind if I include them in my upcoming review of the boxed set? I don't own either previous disc and probably won't be able to get 'em by the time the screeners arrive.

Yea, I'm wondering too why the movie looks so much brighter now. But then again, I always thought the contract was way way too low on the first release...
Oh well. The colors seem to come out better this time tho.

Right, can everyone who's posted screen grabs so far to delete them, just so we can keep this thread browsing-friendly for those unfortunate to have lesser internet connections? Thanks.
The following are all the grabs I've managed to obtain personally, and from the 'nets 3 main DVD forums:
