The Skinny: Seriously?
The Good: You can say with some degree of confidence that this is the best Ghostbusters has ever looked. Improvements have been made on the so-called "remastered" DVD editions from 2005, and a buttload of new extras have been added to this release. There's even some promotional material centered around the new video game, if you're into that sort of thing.
The Bad: Odds are you own several copies of Ghostbusters already, and the thought of shelling out for another is as appealing as a one-on-one with Walter Peck. But, hey, you Xbox 360 owners will get the featurettes that are only on the PS3 version of the game. So there's that.
Best Extra: As gimmicky as it is, "Slimer Mode"—a feature that frames the movie with a cool looking border and plays a picture-in-picture track with interview clips and trivia—is actually kind of neat.
Buy, Rent, or Ignore: Clear off some space next to your collection of spores, molds, and fungus.
