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 ?.

er...because it wouldn't have got published otherwise?
Atari were having doubts about doing the publishing in Europe for Ghostbusters and Sony stepped in at the last minute to take the Playstation versions on as they had the rights to the movie licence anyway.
This left Atari with a bit more time and less hassle to sort out the other formats (360 and Wii plus handhelds) which they'll do later on.
It does now mean that a small percentage of the potential audience will now be able to get the 360 version, which is good news for them. The rest won't know about it or won't want to risk import tax and will by from the shelves as normal.
