    Sony has signed a deal with Atari to publish the GhostBusters: The Video Game just one month before release. The game will now only be released for PS3, PS2, and PSP. It will not be released for the Xbox 360, Wii, and PC like it was originally planned. However, there is some speculation that it will be coming to the other consoles in the future.

    It will be released on the PS3 and PS2 on June 19, and will release on the PSP later this spring. Hopefully we will see a Wii and 360 release soon after that.

    Ghostheads in US territories can breath a collective sigh of release thanks to Atari CEO Jim Wilson, who contacted GamesIndustry this morning to assure them that Sony only bought the rights to the upcoming Ghostbusters game in PAL territories.

    “The Sony Computer Entertainment partnership is exclusive to Europe, Atari is going to be publishing on all platforms in the US on June 16,” clarified Wilson.

    Until now, fans had feared that the Sony buyout would have outright canceled Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the title, but new information shows that this a Europe exclusive deal.

    Although it still seems like a shady move that’s unfair to the fans, screwing Europe seems to par for the course when it comes to game publishing.

    Ghostbusters will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii on June 16th 2009.

    Thankyou for finding that Carlos, that's great news for all of us. I really wanted this game for the Wii. It really sucks for Europe though.
