The headline was a bit of a stretch, as one of my bosses once said, “It just popped in there.” Gord of TV Shows On DVD.com updates ghostheads with more news of RGB on DVD. The second (third?) party that may be handling the complete series is believed to be Time-Life. Along with The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer & The Real Ghostbusters episodes will be among the 26 DVDs.
No extras or box art have been revealed yet. An official announcement hasn’t been made by either studio.

The Day, a newspaper out of Connecticut asked Dan Aykroyd about Ghostbusters III at the opening of a new House Of Blues.
The Day: “Will there ever be a Ghostbusters III?”
Dan Aykroyd: “You know … in October, we are releasing the Ghostbusters video game, and it’s really the third movie … I’ve been writing on it and working with the gang, and they’ve come up with a wonderful story. So … if you want to see Ghostbusters 3, it’s the game. It’s really, really good. And it’s a family game. We’re not killing anybody. We’re only sending entities back to where they came from.”

I first saw this Venkman T-Shirt posted by a member of Ghostbusters.net last month. First glance of this design, I have problems with this t-shirt. An official Ghostbusters t-shirt from the licensee shouldn’t have errors that could have been easily avoided by doing 1 of 2 things. Putting Ghostbusters in a DVD player or at least using Google.
Before I list these errors I will say the uniform design of this t-shirt is a good idea. It just wasn’t executed well. While I suppose what under shirt we wear doesn’t matter, our bosses originally wore a black long sleeve shirt, not a white one. Also, this official t-shirt company made the same error as other licensees over the years. Instead of putting the “no ghost” logo on the shoulder, they “stuck” it on the front. Finally I get the proton pack straps. Looks out of place unless we’re wearing either a back pack or the real thing. This part of the design might have worked better if a proton pack was incorporated onto the back of the t-shirt.
I doubt it, perhaps the design can be revised and we’ll get Stantz, Spengler, and Zeddemore t-shirts. Then it would be worth $26 USD.

When Ghostbusters™: The Video Game was originally announced for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, and Nintendo DS, it seemed that Sony’s Playstation Portable (PSP) was “the bad monkey” in this situation.
PSX Extreme reported from Eurogamer that Brendan Goss, executive producer hasn’t ruled out a PSP version.
“There are discussions right now about a PSP version,” he said. “We’re waiting to see how the PS2 stuff goes from a technical side with memory, then it may get ported to the PSP.”

“Call it fate, call it luck, Karma, whatever. I think we were destined to have The Real Ghostbusters box sets on DVD.” - Dr. Venkman. Ok, Dr. V didn’t quite put it that way. I just about did when we were thinking about adding RGB episodes back to our website. It’s one of those things where you think “something will come out now that I said this or did that.”
The week of April 29, 2008 it almost happened. TV Shows On DVD.com is reporting that “a multi-disc release” is “in the works” for a Fall release. The studio behind the box sets isn’t Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. This other studio wasn’t named.
TV Shows On DVD is a reliable source for upcoming TV shows on DVD. Keep in mind box sets of The Real Ghostbusters hasn’t been announced by S.P.H.E. or any other studio.
Sony will be making a “big announcement” concerning Ghostbusters at San Diego Comic Con. Their has been speculation that RGB box sets could be that announcement.
On a related note concerning possible upcoming RGB episodes on our site. If a final decision is made to show episodes, their will be no download links offered. Legally Ghostbusters International® can’t provide episodes to download. If official sets are released episodes may not be shown here at all. When a decision is made, information will be provided here and on The Real Ghostbusters sub site.

Our clients and employees may have wondered in the last month (prior to this morning’s update) where have the public updates been? No one outside the company has asked me. I don’t feel I’m making excuses, I wanted to get the very late (in my mind) update published.
Hopefully too with having a new way to post news, people globally won’t just be waiting on me.
Around/about a month ago we finally started to overhaul our The Real Ghostbusters sub site. It was/is a way to redesign the site with a sub domain, clean up old files, organize existing content, and once it’s finished begin adding new content.
The Real Ghostbusters sub site is a work in progress. ie: the red place holder boxes. We’re slowly working to get the sub site in order. We’re sure after taking a look, you’ll have questions. They’ll be addressed here and through the sub site in upcoming updates.
