I thought random dude is darth.

I understand your frustration, but getting people to not buy this title for the PS3 won't have the effect you want.  It will definitely punish the developer/publisher, but the likely result is less support of PS3, not improved support of PS3.

If the dev had the resources to make the title better on the PS3, they likely would have done it.

The only scenario I can think of where a "boycott" of the product would work would be where the PS3 significant command of the market (think PS2) and not selling on the PS3 would cause the title to fail, overall.  Unfortunately, the PS3 is not in that position, so the title might still succeed on the other platforms to the point where the developer feels the other platforms are "good enough".

If PS3 owners buy this title in droves, then the next PS3 title from them will likely be better as they will put extra resources on the PS3 versions because the PS3 versions "sell".

Product demand rules in this situation... if the title sells poorly on a particular platform, development for that platform might be de-emphased.  If it sells well, development emphasis might be increased.

Maddening, isn't it?

Yes, that is true THREE YEARS LATER.

Also, PC games are typically optimized for either the highest end ( a moving target) or the lowest end. Either way the chances of an optimized version for "your" rig are slim.  Since, console's innards don't change in its life the lowest common denominator is the same and games are optimized for that hardware. This can result in some slick looking game not possible on a mid-to-low end gaming rig.

xD!

Because GTA4 was an important game, ghostbusters isnt, the movies and all the things I know about ghostbusters isnt great quality, my point was that why do people care about this game being inferior or superior on a certain console when the game itself wont have a big inpact, which would be differeent if we were talking about gta4 or ff13.

@kingwii

Wow that product really works!

Why is Ghostbusters getting such press? I had no plans on getting the game, is it more popular than I imagined or something?

it's been true about 1 and half year in after PS3 actually(360 was always a slower computer,) and the real truth is Sony was selling PS3 at a big loss, it was a pretty good deal back then because they cut about 250 bucks off the real price, and that's just the base price, in the hands of retail, it'd usually be 10-15% more on top of that, but their strat failed them this gen. you can also easily upgrade your parts a few years down the road on PC making it costing even less if you are that type of person. even a low end PC of now is stronger than the consoles with a decent video card.

it's a pretty popular movie in the States for sure, I don't know about the rest of the world, but I do remember watching it as a child outside of the US.
