My small thougts on Ghostbuster not coming to 360 in Europe
themaninthejacket \| 1:54 PM on 05.10.2009	9 comments

Well i was really looking forward to the game. I mean Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are some of my favorite movies of all time. And when i read about a new game in development with all the original cast AND A STORY WRITTEN BY DAN AKROYD.

I was as happy as i could be now just a few moments before realizing the game i get the info that it will only bee on PS3 in Europe. Now i am no PS3 hater, i like it and all that. I am just an X box man. And i find very hard to comprehend that the game developers has cut of all of its Europe X box 360 owners by saying only for the PS3 in Europe. i mean i don't care that games such as Killzone 2 and God of War are exclusive to the PS3 that is just fair and maybe a reason to get the console.

But when a game based on a movie license, gets delivered on all the system in USA and not in Europe. Really pisses me off. Well i guess i will just have to import it form Asia or something.

thanks for reading this little rant. This is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day

The reason it's coming out on the PS3 first is because Sony are publishing the game in Europe and Atari are publishing the 360 version. I don't know how or why this arrangement was only set up in Europe though.

It's only a timed exclusive so it'll come out on the 360 eventually so calm down.

Also preview your blogs before you make them live so that you can see that your bbcode is working properly.

that kinda sucks but some games like outrun on live is also exclusive on the 360 in the US but not in the rest of the world.

Just hope that the game is region free since I always read that for some guys importing is cheaper than buying the game in the local store

It appears that the OP didn't understand the game's 'timed exclusivity'. Just have a little patience /Take That.

I'm from the U.K, and this smells of Sony bs to me. Atari have published other games like Dragonball etc on 360 in the past, so I see no other reason for them to do this, but Sony waving cash in Atari's face for the exclusive. Timed exclusives are largely pointless, especially when all versions of the game are finished.

Guess I'll be buying Batman AA and Prototype on 360 instead then.

The other thing about this is tht Sony could easily hurt this game, which has had a hard time just getting to our shelves. While Atari take the cash (probably good for them, after their recent financial difficulties), other games will eat up our time and money. The really shining light, is that 80's popularity and nostalgia, may help sell it, but if Sony think it will help shift PS3s (what they are clearly banking on) they are mistaken. Please prove me wrong.

There's also something no one has really noticed, which is that Ghostbusters could be region free on 360. I'll have to check.

Sony, you suck.

What Anus said is also what I herd. (lol, oh that was a good sentence. god bless ur name)

Also Sony (I believe) owns the movie license aswell. On IMDB it says they are one of the distributers but the production company is Coloumbia. But yeah dont worry about GB being on 360. It will come some time. Just like the exclusive DLC for Fallout 3 and GTA4 will come to PS3...eventually. You might have to wait less time however, so you should pitty for the people who have Fallout 3 and GTA4 only on PS3...there in a deeper hole of disappointment than you.

I would laugh at you but that would be extremely dickery because you are a victim of the European Videogame Bullshit.

It doesn't surprise me that Sony took advantage of the movie rights to desperately swallow more money than Microsoft somewhere else.
