Sony Computer Entertainment will publish Atari’s upcoming Ghostbusters videogames in Europe, delaying the Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS versions, Atari said Wednesday.

On June 19, Sony will publish the game for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 in Europe and other PAL territories. A PSP version will follow in the fall.

Atari said that its North American launch plans will not change: The games will be released on 360, PS3, PS2, DS, PC, and Wii here on June 16, alongside the release of the classic film on Blu-ray.

In 2008, Ghostbusters developer Terminal Reality told MTV that PlayStation 3 was the lead development platform for the next-gen game.

Earlier that year, Sony’s head of software development Phil Harrison left the company to head up Atari.

Atari did not say whether the other versions of the game would eventually be released in Europe. (Update: Atari told Wired.com that it will publish the non-Sony SKUs in Europe in the fall.)

Times exclusive -- PAL regions only.
Basically, help out Phil Harrison with a bit of cash while hurting Microsoft in Europe.

And the best news is that it is only a few months delay.

And the best news for me is that I live in NTSC land.
