Time-Life was kind enough to send the final Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection firehouse packaging today.  The box, which will house the steel case DVD set, is amazingly detailed and includes two holograph-like images.  Please watch the video below for more detail.

In related news, The Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection ship date has slipped a little due to the complications in making the firehouse.  Just one look at the video above and you will appreciate the effort put forth into the packaging.

The DVD set was set to ship on November 15 via USPS (7 - 10 days).  Instead of shipping on the 15th, Time-Life will ship on November 25 via Fed-Ex (1 - 2 days).  Most people will not notice a difference and Time-Life is absorbing the significant cost difference in shipping.  

If you order your DVD set before November 15, your set will ship on the 25th along with the pre-orders.  Don’t wait, order today!

IGN Nintendo Wii Ghostbusters: The Video Game First Look:

Our time seeing Ghostbusters in motion on the Wii was all too brief, but the title looked interesting. Rather than port the exact PS3/360 experience with watered-down everything, Red Fly is using the same outline and giving the Wii and PS2 something unique. There are PKE goggles to put on and they provide you with a view ripped from when Ray was scoping Slimer in the original movie — you know, the binocular view with the red meter on the side — and there are custom load screens for each transition to keep you immersed in the story. It won’t deliver the same “I’m playing the third movie” feel the PS3/360 version are shooting for, but the Wii/PS2 version could turn out to be a fun romp.

IGN Playstation 3 Ghostbusters: The Video Game Hands-on:

Although it’s way too early to sit here and give you the final word on Ghostbusters, I can tell you that it seems like it has the pieces in place to become a solid affair. The environments are detailed, living places that change as you blast them apart; the Ghostbusters themselves and their equipment looks really good; the dialogue is funny and fitting for the franchise; and the gameplay feels solid.

We’ve still got a while until we strap on our pack so who knows what the final product will feel like, but after living out a boyhood dream of running down a specter with Ray and Egon, Ghostbusters definitely has my attention.

GamesRadar has one of the earliest hands-on previews of Ghostbusters: The Video Game.  The writeup is fun and unique, as they share their experience playing the game through a series of 18 legendary quotes from the original film.

Not only does your equipment cause mayhem and destruction, but all that junk on your back serves another purpose. Much important info, such as spectre proximity, your pack over heating, and more is shown on the equipment hanging off of you. The lack of health bars and the like really cleans up the screen to give the game a more cinematic feel.
