OVERALL: Draw
R1 and R2 UK "Double Feature Gift Set" releases (Ghostbusters 2) has 2 episodes from the animated series and a booklet. There are no trailers though. NOTE, that the first film on the UK "Gift Set" is missing several extras from R1 "Gift Set".
R2 - Japanese release has the world's only DTS-track, but itīs 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.

DVD Talk has a few visual comparisons between both R1 releases under the 'Quality Control' section of their review.
