Seriously. Since when did anyone on here care about this game?

We had a whopping one person mention in their VGC most wanted last month, for the Wii version nonetheless.

Honestly, if Sony wanted to moneyhat mabye they should of picked a relevant game. It's just as stupid and annoying as when Microsoft does it though.

MS was planning on screwing over 120mil+ SONY fans wheres that article at????

Huh? PS3 sold over 120 million? We don't know if there was going to be a PS3 version.

So Sony fans, is moneyhatting acceptable now?


XBOX was gen..like the PS2 was

Has this ever happened before?

Signing a contract at the last minute to give one console exclusivity after screens and videos of other versions have already been shown and pre-orders taken?

I hope PAL stores refuse to stock it until the other versions arrive.

I can't believe you actually think that. That would be freaking ridicoulous.

You see hardly anyone when these deals are struck my MS, and certainly not over something so small like Ghostbusters.

Basically, it will come this fall in the other formats for the 77M (not 64M) potential gamers who are affected by this. (77M is the Others numbers for DS, Wii, and Xbox 360).

This is a "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" deal for Sony in its strongest competitive territory. It gave Atari some money. It gave them a timed exclusive.

for X is equal to "It's Ghost Busters"
and y is equal to "It's PAL only".

X+Y = Too busy not caring to care.

If this is publicity then it's the weirdest kind.

MS only entered the industry to get SONY out of it, they kept us from playing JRPGS and DLC, I dont believe article, PLUS ITS SONY's MOVIE!!!!

I don't understand...While I can't remember any JRPG on the Xbox besides FFXI..Which might of been moved to the 360...Anyways...The point is that Xbox 360 has JRPGS...And as for DLC...It started on the Xbox....So why would it be strange that the Xbox 360 is in lead when it comes to DLC?

And Yes it's a Sony Movie but not a Sony IP...I believe Atari saw the gain and Received it letting Sony Publish the PAL version...

LOL, no shit.  The truly baffling thing about this is WHY Sony is even doing this.  There are far superior (from a branding and expected sales standpoint) games they could actually benefit from a deal like this one.

Not just Sony...anyone console entering the internet and operating system phase. Microsoft never took anything from anyone. SE found value in working with Microsoft. No company was a bigger moneyhatter than Sony when they knocked Sega out of competition and went straight for Nintendos throat. Luckily after all the third party titles Nintendo had, they had a mind to keep making great first party household names they could profit off of. Sega wasn't so lucky. Keep blaming Microsoft for a lot of shit Sony should've been blamed for first.
