OVERALL: Draw
R1 "Double Feature Gift Set", since it has a new transfer (and old extras). Itīs missing trailers, "Tricks and Trivia"-track, and "in silhouette" video commentary (normal audio commentary is included). UK "Gift Set" is missing several extras from the first film.
R2 Japanese release has the world's only DTS-track, but it's missing the extras. Beware the cheap bootlegs of the "Ghostbusters Superbit Twin Pack", which are not genuine. These include extras and are not official releases. Fakes have the word 'UFO' printed on the spines. There was a genuine box set release in Japan but the cheap ones on eBay are fakes.
