Ghostbusters pre-order reminder call comes from Dan Aykroyd photo

Who you gonna call? No, it's more like who is going to call you?

I don't want to ruin the surprise, but...aw, f*ck it. Dan Aykroyd is going to call you if you pre-ordered the upcoming Ghostbusters game at GameStop. The Canadian actor and comedian may be the most important/famous person ever to call you, so cherish it when you get ringed. Oh, he's not calling you? Well, at least read this transcript so you can know what everyone is talking about.

Greetings fellow paranormal enthusiasts. This is Dan Akyroyd, speaking to you through the miracle of 16-bit voice recording to remind you that your copy of Ghostbusters will be at your local GameStop by tomorrow. Don't forget to bring in your used games because you'll receive an extra 30 percent credit for games you trade toward Ghostbusters. Thank you, and see you on the other side.

Either Danny A. really likes this game or he really likes GameStop. Nice trade-in plug, Dan.

Dan Akroyd called me for real one time. He told me to stop messing around with his daughter. I wasn't scared.

Man, his district manager would have his ass for not mentioning the Edge Card.

I remember when Mario called me to remind me that Super Mario Galaxy was going to come out (Like I needed a reminder) since I reserved it at Gamestop. Sellouts.

Awe... I wish I would have pre-ordered now. You think Juggernaut will call me if I pre-order Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2?

Yeah! Having Mario call to remind me to pick up SMG was pretty damn epic!
I think these call deals are actually very cool!
Although Mr. Aykroyd should have stayed in character as Dr. Raymond Stantz. It would have been neat if Annie Potts as secretary Janine Melnitz was the call, as well.
Can't wait for tomorrow!

I think getting a call from Dan Aykroyd whilst at my job made up for everything else in the daily grind.

That would amazing if the entire thing was in character, like instead of reminding you to pick up a game it was Janine reminding you about your first day at work or something. XD
