I got a DVD player for my birthday in November 2000 and Ghostbusters was my first disc. I will be pre-ordering this. The video game actually looks good which is strange as 99% of licenced video games are rubbish. Whlist I doubt it will be great on the scale of Goldeneye 007 on the N64 I do think it has a chance of being the second best video game based on a film ever.
The R2 DVD was missing a couple of features from its R1 counterpart. These were a trivia track and an featurette which at the time of the discs release (1999) had brand new interviews. I suspect that featurette will be what the featurette called Interviews with Cast and Crew is.
No trailer sadly but still I won't be getting rid of my DVD and its on there.

Strangely, I even looking forward to the video game - you may treat it as a sort of interactive Ghostbusters III.

(seriously though, should be possible given BD-J's basis on Java ME, and there's already a Spectrum emulator for Java ME).

Brilliant Stuff! A day and date purchase for many I am sure!
Not unless we can travel back in time to 1984 and invent Blu-ray, then convince Columbia Tri-Star to releases said Blu-ray on the same day as the theatrical release of the film ;)

However as a completist Im a little annoyed that once again we don't seem to be getting the deleted scene that features on the Criterion laserdisc release back in the day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4kFpREbJMs
