GB1 on DVD

Here is something I found on NetSolo's GBHQ webpage. Word for word (cuz I copied it):

Digital Video Disc, better known as DVD is one of the hottest new pieces
of electronic equipment on the market at this time. Able to hold over
400 gigabytes of information, a DVD can hold multiple versions of a
movie with special extras like trailers, soundtracks, and cutscenes; and
carry a soundtrack in Dolby Digital (5.1 channels of discrete audio...
sweet!). The catch is, a DVD is the size of a normal audio CD, but has
one-hundred more lines of resolution than a normal video tape. As many
DVD followers know, Ghostbuster was originally slated to be one of
Columbia Tri-Star's first releases on DVD, but something fell through
and the disc has been listed as "To Be Announced" for sometime. What's
the scoop? Nobody, not even reps at Colubia Tri-Star Home Video seem to
know. But hold on Ghostheads, you think that I would let you down like
that? No way! I've been told by a good source that the disc will be
released August of this year. My information has only been confirmed by
an e-mail which I received the other day from a friend down-under
stating that the GB DVD will be released in August in the Aussie lands
as well. So, while you start saving the petty cash in order to buy the
$29.99 disc, here's a little information about what will be included in
the release:
•The original film, painstakingly converted into a digital artifact-free
format in the original aspect ratio
•the original movie trailer
•Dolby Digital 5.1 sound
•alternate language tracks (Spanish, French)
