Xbox 360 version of Ghostbusters not region locked

     Good News

Ghostbusters fans and Xbox 360 owners across Europe were more than a bit peeved when they first learned that Sony had locked down Terminal Reality's game for a timed PlayStation 3 release in that region. Destructoid is based in the United States, but we understand your pain... and we're very sorry.

But today we have some good news for you. Destructoid has confirmed with Atari that the North American version of Ghostbusters for the Xbox 360, set to hit stores on June 16, will not be region locked. Yes, that's right -- if you're jonesing for some ghost wrangling, you'll be able to pop the disc into your PAL console and start busting. Because as we all know, busting makes you feel good.

While the game isn't officially available until next week, we're already hearing reports of readers picking up copies of both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions at their local retailers. 

There are plenty of places online that you can import the game; share your import suggestions and experiences in the comments.

When does the Wii version come out? That's the one I'm interested in, personally.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Good move to counter the timed exclusivity.

All Wii games are region locked and I don't think there is any way for a developer to make a non-region locked game.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I believe it does in PAL territories.
