Here's the special features preview:

I already said that!

Sorry about that tyler.

Does anyone know if the extras available on the Digital version on Amazon (uk) ? They don't mention it so I assume not, but i generally buy my digital media on there. I buy it on Apple if it doesn't

Amazon UK have May 24th release for physical here.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed with this too. I've purchased it on YouTube and Amazon (I know... why would I do that?!) but both of them don't have any special features. I guess we'll just have to wait for the physical release.

Eh, that’s a shame but I suppose it makes sense to squeeze as much money as they can from streaming first.

Nice to see FE take the #1 spot on Amazon, Vudu/Fandango, and iTunes!

Bought on SKY Store and no extras either. With Afterlife they have the ‘extended’ edition which included all the bonus material.

Amazon posted the release date, 4K/Blu-ray/DVD confirmed for June 25.

Wait wait wait. I have good news about Amazon: play the movie on a phone in portrait mode, and while’s it’s playing, the bonus content option is right there front and center.

Bit weird there’s no better way to access, but it’s definitely there for the UK crowd.

Ah that is good to know, thanks for telling us.

But also... now I have to check all the movies I own on there to see if they put hidden features in for them in that way too lol

I'm trying to figure out which release I want to purchase. I want the steelbook, obviously but I'm not familiar with how digital copies work. Is the digital copy that comes with it the same as buying the digital copy on Amazon? Or is it only viewable on some weird app?

Zavvi have dispatched the 4K steelbook early.
ETA Fri/Sat.

I just noticed the BluRay/DVD and 4K/BluRay are basically the same price...why would anyone buy the first one and for that matter the standard DVD? I don’t have a 4K player or TV but I mean you can get those things later.

At this point DVDs are a scam. They should not be produced anymore. Not for mainstream content or anything available in HD.

At this point DVDs are a scam.

DVDs may not be able to hold a candle to Blu Rays in picture quality or special features these days (and the latter instance feels like a scam in itself to try force people to shift from DVDs to Blu Rays), but if either media is a scam, to me it's clearly Blu Rays, based on their extortionate retail costs.

DVDs may be getting pricier as more retailers look to abandon selling physical media, but the fact they're still here and have hung around for so long shows that plenty of people still prefer buying DVDs at $19 a pop over paying $49 for Blu Rays, and I wouldn't be surprised if DVD players/roms remain a commonplace household item over the equally-expensive Blu Ray players.

I even have a BluRay player in my console, but that hasn't encouraged me to shift to the media. I think I own three Blu Ray sets, the Ghostbusters 30th anniversary set, the 35th anniversary Trap set, and Cleanin' Up The Town.

As someone living on a part-time salary, I'm glad DVDs are still being produced.

Purely anecdotal I know, but I prefer to get DVDs when I can--because I can play those on my computer without having to get other software. I get the DVD/BluRay combos when available, but if it's a choice between one or the other DVD wins. The extra bells and whistles just aren't worth the hassle to me.

I don’t have many BluRays either. Just the GB1-3 pack, House: Two Stories collection (it’s an 80s horror movie series in case you didn’t know. It came with a book), stand-alone Curse of Chucky (but I really need to fully upgrade that whole collection), Mortal Kombat 2021, Fast and Furious 9 and the first Sonic movie...waiting to see what they do after part 3.

BluRays are really not that expensive anymore. The difference with FE is literally only $5 ($10 for 4K).

I’ve been wanting to get Cruella. The 4K and BluRay is just $15 on Amazon. Movie has been out awhile of course. Just checked Sonic 2. $5 for DVD and $7 for BluRay ($17 4K). Only multi-movie or TV collections are expensive and even then they’re about what you’d pay individually unless they include bonus physical objects.

I know some people don’t care about bonus features. That’s fine. Like you said though the picture quality is unmatched. Streaming is in HD. To continue releasing mainstream content in such an inferior format is wrong imo. Worse when the price is basically the same. It’s falsely portraying it as a comparable format.

I’m sure some people are not aware and assume DVD is just as good. The only reason VHS was phased out quicker was because they were bulky cassettes. You can easily pass off a DVD as “current” because it’s a disc. Sorry but really disagree and can’t justify them.

[mrmichaelt]

Just noticed they changed the covers for the standard 4K/Blu-ray/DVD: Less proton streams, Trevor's on the bottom of the cover, Phoebe up higher where Trevor used to be, you don't see anyone waist down for the most part, background changed from library and Possessor to frozen buildings with Sewer Dragon, Garraka, and ghost army. Spine art is that movie poster of the three Mini-Pufts frozen in ice cubes.

It's always bugged me that the majority of the time sequels get put on Netflix before the originals.

Ghostbusters News has some (good?) Netflix stats:
-A reported 10.2 million views in its first week.
-In total hours views: 19.6 million hours tracked over one week
