This better be one of those "well, Sony are publishing it on PS3/PS2 but Atari is still doing the rest" kinda deals... Because everything is pointing towards Ghostbusters now being a PS3/PS2 exclusive...
And if thats the case, then they can forget my money. I was going to buy the 360 AND Wii version, but sod getting it for my PS3. Meh... This kind of back stabbing shit annoys me, and its even worse when its pretty much weeks away from release...
UPDATE** Well it seems its a "timed" exclusive, with the other versions being released later in the year... Which is just as shit for a game like this TBH. Lets face it, which platforms was it going to sell on? Bah...

I wanted this. I was going to buy this. I hardly buy any games anymore. Rargh rargh.
Plus timed exclusives are what, 6 months? At least...? This will make it a christmas release...
In which case... Bah... Forget it. Far too much coming out at the end of the year for this.
I'll be to busy with brutal legend to remeber this later in the year. so will anyone else with a 360. nice move!
Still anxiously awaiting this. On the bright side, us 360 version owners may get some extra polish or content. That's usually what happens.
It better be a really damn good game though, otherwise this is going to be a major flop for them. Think about it, many people buy games on the release date, then others wait for player reviews to determine if they want to get it. If a bunch of people buy it for the PS3 and don't love the game, who's going to pick it up when it's released for the 360? They could lose a lot of release day purchases with this move... and maybe canceled preorders.
Meh... Hope its region free...
and waiting a couple months for a game that's clearly done for no reason other than to pad the publisher's console and sales? fuck them.
Meh. I have a PS3 and was a huge Ghostbusters fan but I'm not really interested in this. I'd say for me its a rental at best. Its not really something people should be annoyed about. Surely PS3 owners have a lot more to complain about, with massive games like L4D not getting released on the platform at all? Ya I thought so. XBox guys have enough exclusive DLC to play through anyway. Whats all this 'fuck sony' shit; they are only playing Microsofts game! At least you guys will eventually get it, when is Lost and Damned/L4D/Fallout DLC gonna come to the PS3? That's right, never!
Priorities, people.
..the fuck?
EDIT: looks like they are talking PAL regions only to be SONY exclusive. So that sux ass for all PAL regions
Daaark- I wouldnt hold your breath. The 360 version is done, like done and finished. For the second time.
But we are used to it now i guess. We´re stretched out and easy to pin to the floor.
But yeah. Like some guy above me said. I hope it´s region free. Then i will just buy a copy from america.
And it´s true Dusty. Releasing it on pc in America and not europe would equal shitloads of pirated games and way less cash for them in the end. It´s their foot though. They can shoot it as much as they want. Even I would be tempted to download it. Oh well. My roomie has a ps3. He can buy it i guess
well yea I was exaggerating but you get the idea.
