"You have have heard about the huge exclusivity deal that Sony put into place for the European release of Ghostbusters, a game that has been eagerly anticipated by fans for several years now. There were lingering questions of when the game would show up on non-Sony consoles in the region, and we have a final answer for you."

    Wait a second, now...

    Did I read this wrong? I hope so.

    Sony doesn't believe in paying for exclusivity, so they lose exclusive rights to some of their biggest games......until Ghostbusters? Now they want to make a deal for a timed exclusive? For Ghostbusters?

    I hope I've misunderstood this. If not, then I fear for the sanity of Sony.

      you read it right, and yes, i fear for their sanity too. "hey guys, lets not care about keeping FF13 exclusive but DAMN if we are gonna let the other consoles get the Ghostbusters game on their consoles in Europe at the same time as us!!!" its as if the Sony execs have all been replaced by monkeys. or perhaps they should be replaced by monkeys, im not sure which. at least you dont have to give monkeys anything other than food and a place to sleep.

    Wow, November?

    This was one of my most looked forward to games on the 360, considering i'm a big Ghostbusters fan.

    Seriously, *bleep* you Sony.

    Let me bask in the fact that you get Ghostbusters "TIMED" Exclusivity.

    Yet you can't hold onto games such as Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken 6.

    The reason Sony got Blockbusters was because they got lucky with a Publisher deal, rather than just paying for the game straight out. So they buy exclusivity so to speak, just got control of distributing where the game goes.
