Special Features

- Making of Ghostbusters: The Video Game featurette

- Most of the Special Features from the 1999 DVD (see below for what's missing)
- PlayStation 3 Ghostbusters Theme - Put the disc in your PS3, go to the Games tab, and you should find an option to install the theme off of the disc. The theme consists of the five randomly-displayed wallpapers shown below.
Click on the thumbnails to view the SD/Fullscreen versions as they appear installed on the PS3. The "wallpaper" links below the thumbnails are the images that I ripped off the Blu-ray disc and extracted from the theme .p3t file (using P3T Extractor). HD wallpapers are roughly 1.5 Mb each, while SD wallpapers are roughly 225 Kb each.
Missing Special Features
(from the 1999 DVD release; excluding the video commentary)
- "Tricks & Trivia" subtitle track.
- All image galleries: Production Photos (288 images total), Conceptual Drawings (230 images total), Storyboards (361 images total).
- Theatrical trailer.
- Screenplay text (was on DVD-ROM).
Notes
- The before and after special effects multi-angle comparison item named "Spook Central Exploding" should have been named "Firehouse Exploding". This error carries over from the original 1999 DVD, and was present on the 2005 DVD. It's a shame that no one noticed it and corrected it by now.
