“Mother Pus Bucket!” That famous line from Bill Murray must be exactly what’s being said collectively by the powers that be at the Xbox and Nintendo camps. Today, SCEE announced that they would be the publishing the Playstation editions os of the highly anticipated Ghostbusters game in Europ and PAL regions. The Playstation 2 and 3 editions are expected to this June and on the PSP in the Fall. Atari will release versions for the Nintendo DS, Wii and Xbox 360 later in the year.

That’s a pretty big announcement for Sony and too bad for MS and Nintendo. I was actually looking to pick this up for the Wii but the gamer and huge fan in me won’t wait until the Fall to use the Wiimote to wrangle up Slimer.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Sony Pictures, and Atari Europe today announced that Ghostbusters: The Video Game for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 is to be published in PAL territories by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in June, meaning that owners of PS3 and PlayStation 2 will get their hands on the game that reunites the cast of the hit movies.
