Ghostbusters Goes Playstation Only For A While

Oh man; video games – this is why we love them. This is insane news. The Ghostbusters game – which was planned as a multiplatform game – has passed publisher’s hands like, well, like Swine flu really – starting out at Vivendi, moving to Atari and now – weeks before the June 19th release – ending clasped between Sony’s mitts.

In this mornings press release, Sony said:

“We will be releasing the title on June 19th, for PS3 and PS2, to co-incide with the release of the Blu Ray movie from Sony Pictures.”

From a business stance, it’s a brilliant deal from Sony, allowing them not only the bragging rights of exclusivity, but also the ability to market the hell out of the Ghostbusters brand for a few weeks where they’ll be releasing both the games and a blu-ray. A PSP version will follow in the Autumn.

And what of the Wii, DS and 360 versions? Atari will be publishing those “later in the year”.

Blimey.

Update @ 14:15 – we just want to clarify that this applies to PAL only territories (i.e. UK, Australia, etc). No word on how this will effect the US release yet.
