Despite Sony securing exclusive early rights for the PS3 version in Europe it appears that Atari are releasing both the North American and apparently Asian (see eBay item no. 200350936134) NTSC versions of Ghostbusters without region protection.These will therefore play perfectly in UK Xbox 360's.It can be ordered for around £32 - £34 delivered from most import sites.Kind of begs the question what the hell Sony are trying to achieve as any 360 owners who want a copy of the game are surely just going to import it ?.

I have now played both the 360 and PS3 versions of this game.The 360 version does have better graphics but the difference is not massive IMO.Neither version is a technical masterpiece,both suffer from some quite noticeable slowdown when there is a lot going on.On the plus side it does make good use of the Ghostbusters licence and its a fun to play for sure.I would say if you have both consoles and can pick up a 360 version without paying the silly money they are are fetching on eBay,then go for this version.If not,then get it for the PS3.I would give the PS3 version 7/10 and the 360 7.5/10,as I said the difference is not that great.Does look funny when the Sony logo comes up at the start of a 360 game though !.
