In software development, "Beta" versions are compiled in order to see how the project is shaping up, garner feedback and work out bugs, or to have something to demonstrate to others. These work-in-progress "prototypes" can be used to determine where changes need to be made. For Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009), several pre-release versions are known to exist. Today, I will look at the video assets from one of them.

This month marks the 28th anniversary of Spook Central. It was way back in the ancient times of August 1996 that the site launched. Since I never kept track of the exact day the site went live, when I note the anniversary, I always do it on the first of the month. Although I've kept some archived copies of the site from the late 1990s on the Website Archives - Paul's Sites page, none of them are complete. Thanks to James Eatock, one of them is now a tiny bit more complete.

Dark Horse Comics is set to release the Ghostbusters: Back in Town trade paperback on November 5, 2024. It is a compilation of the four comic book issues that were released from March through June of 2024. Although I don't have the trade paperback, I do have digital copies of the four individual issues, so I'll share some brief thoughts on the story...

This is one of an ongoing series of reviews that looks at the "Build The Ghostbusters Ecto-1" model subscription from DeAgostini, through their Fanhome imprint; also available in the United Kingdom and Germany. (The model was previously released by Eaglemoss' Hero Collector imprint, which is why there are still references to Eaglemoss in this review.) Let's take a closer look at this issue...

Here in the United States, today is the Fourth of July. Well, technically, it is the fourth day of the month of July in ALL countries. So, maybe I should say that today is Independence Day in the U.S. That day on which we celebrate our independence from the British, and aliens, by getting drunk and shooting off fireworks... usually at the same time.

What better way to celebrate our freedom than with a semi-Ghostbusters-themed Statue of Liberty-shaped crossword puzzle taken from pages 80-81 of the "Ghostbusters II Joke, Puzzle, and Game Book" by Jim Razzi & Jack Looney.

Today, June 25, 2024, is a special occasion. Yes, it is Mckenna Grace's 18th birthday, and my 18-plus-a-few-decades birthday, but it is also the day that Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is released on physical disc media in the United States in the following formats: Standard 4K+Blu-ray Combo Pack, Steelbook 4K+Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray+DVD Combo Pack, and Individual DVD. There are a few Steelbooks (one store-exclusive) and a Gift Set release, as well as multi-film sets (but no "entire franchise" set), all of which I will detail in this fairly straightforward rundown of comprehensive details on what to find in each release. Thankfully, there are no store-exclusive or digital-exclusive special features, so all currently-released extras for the film can be found on the Blu-ray disc no matter where you buy it. Although this review only covers United States releases, it will, likely, also be applicable to Canada. I'm not sure about Mexico or areas outside of North America. I suspect that the discs are, for the most part, the same worldwide, but I can't say for sure, so I'll just err on the safe side and cover what I know has been released here in the U.S.
