Time Life was kind enough to send an exclusive clip to Ghostbusters.net, and the websites below, from The Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection which will be shipping next month!

Our exclusive clip was from Laura Summer, who was the voice of Janine Melnitz. Laura talks about finding the voice and personality behind Janine and how her character had a strong impact on the Ghostbusters team dynamic. The Ghostbusters, in many ways, were dependent on Janine, and that didn’t always come out in a not so subtle nature.

Be sure to check out the other exclusive clips on Ghostbusters sites around the web.  The list below will be updated as they roll in, check back soon.

* David Jerrold & Kathryn M. Drennan - Real Ghostbusters Writers @ Spook Central

* Len Janson - Real Ghostbusters Writer & Story Editor @ GB Fans

* Michael C. Gross - Executive Producer @ Proton Charging

You can also pre-order the Real Ghostbusters Complete DVD set now and get 10% off by entering the discount code “SLIMMER”.  Yes, that is Slimer misspelled, but it will do the job.

After a month of silence since Activision decided to pass on publishing Ghostbusters: The Video Game shortly after their acquisition of Sierra Entertainment, we finally get word from a major retailer that the game will not be published this year.

GameStop, one of the largest video game retailers in the United States, placed an automated phone call to those who placed a pre-order for Ghostbusters: The Video Game.  A written transcript, as well as an MP3 of the phone call is available below.  Big thanks to ghostheads James C. Gamora and Dr. Snay for the tip!

Hello, this is Gamestop calling with an important message about your
Ghostbuster reservation.  Although we had hoped Ghostbusters would
release this year; Activision-Blizzard has decided NOT to publish this
title.  To have your reservation deposit refunded or to switch your
reservation to another game, please visit your reservation store.
Thank You, Goodbye.

For more information and continued discussion visit the official Ghostbusters Video Game discussion thread on Ghostbusters Message Board.
