Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 01 Jun 2009 22:11 User comments (3)

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has begun a new promotion to promote the upcoming Ghostbusters Blu-ray, allowing fans the chance to become "stars" of the BD-Live features on the disc.

The movie will hit retail shelves on June 16th.

The site GhostbustersIsHiring.com, was set up for the promotion and will incorporate fans of the movie into the Web content. Users can "submit personalized video of themselves applying for a job with the Ghostbusters team. Sony will select its favorite job applicants for eventual display within its BD Live network."

Additionally, and possibly more notably, fans who upload their photos to the site will receive a $5 discount off the Blu-ray.

is this a new film or is it the time old MPAA tactic of "double, triple, quadruple dipping"?
