Daft Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 EDGE gave it a 8/10. I so excited about this game being a massive ghostbusters fanboy. Edge? 8/10?? Game of the century?!
dwarf Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I don't think there is a magazine that produces BS scores in such high quantities as Edge. They really outdo themselves sometimes. Not saying this is going to be bad.
flameboy Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I don't think there is a magazine that produces BS scores in such high quantities as Edge. They really outdo themselves sometimes.Not saying this is going to be bad. I still stand by what I've said about Edge in the past. They write some of the best reviews out there if not the best. But their scores from time to time can not always collate with what they have written...Yet their reviews are still brilliant.
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 For those interested, the Xbox 360 version is region free:http://www.destructoid.com/xbox-360-version-of-ghostbusters-not-region-locked-132821.phtml :yay: OUT-FREAKIN-STANDING! I'll be taking the orders from the lads at work and then I will be importing away! Really!!!! Anyone know any good import sites. And anyone tested it yet.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Most people use play-asia or videogamesplus. I preordered 3 copies of the game this morning
Noodleman Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 its over £40 on both those sites though....damn the weak pound
Funktion Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 its over £40 on both those sites though....damn the weak pound The cheapest places seem to be DVDBoxoffice, and CDWow (they have several versions listed, one of them is £37.49, and I was told it's the US release). Besides the already mentioned Play-Asia and Videogamesplus, another websites that ship to Europe and provide good service are Yesasia, and CDUniverse.
Jimbob Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I'll take a look at some of these sites once i get payed on Monday.
Funktion Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 My Blu-ray disc of the first film arrived today (I'm going to watch it in a few moments), as did the Australian DVD release of the first volume of Extreme Ghostbusters, and VideoGamesPlus shipped my order for the Xbox 360 version of the game today. Add this to my Time Life's full set of The Real Ghostbusters (25 DVDs), which I received at the start of the year, a soon to be shipped DS version of the game, and later in the year (unfortunately for us Europeans) the Wii version, and who knows, maybe a Blu-Ray release of the second film. I really have to say: It's good to be a Ghostbusters fan in 2009!
dwarf Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Not a good year for wallets though, clearly. Not that I'll be getting anything. Blu-ray of the first is tempting.

I'm gonna wait for the Wii and DS versions to come out over here though. Edited June 13, 2009 by Ike
flameboy Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah great year for ghostbusters fan and next week is defintely the best week ever!
Chuck Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 How long does it take for shipping when peeps order from videogamesplus?
flameboy Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 got myself the real ghostbusters dvd today...already watched both films in anticipation for the game, now onto the cartoon!
dwarf Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 got myself the real ghostbusters dvd today...already watched both films in anticipation for the game, now onto the cartoon! Didn't you get it on blu-ray?
flameboy Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Didn't you get it on blu-ray? ordered it today from play, held off to see if was cheaper at asda but it wasn't
Funktion Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 How long does it take for shipping when peeps order from videogamesplus? When I saw a post on their blog this past Friday saying the game was In Stock, I canceled the pre-order I had elsewhere and placed an order on VGP. They shipped my order on the very same day. got myself the real ghostbusters dvd today...already watched both films in anticipation for the game, now onto the cartoon! I watched the Blu-Ray disc of the film, and now I've been watching the recently released Extreme Ghostbusters volume 1 DVD set (Australian edition). Since the listing for this release vanished from UK online stores (maybe it's delayed, it was supposed to be released at the same time as the first volume of The Real Ghostbusters), I decided to import the Australian release from CDWow. It's quite cheap, and as I expected it's coded R4 & R2 (with a wide variety of subtitles, over 13), so it works on European dvd players. I'm a huge fan of the original animation series, but I never gave the slighest chance to Extreme Ghostbusters (first I saw the "Extreme" in the title, and then I saw a new crew, I pretty much "disowned" the series even before watching it), until very recently when I watched a couple of episodes online and I actually enjoyed it. It's not on par with The Real Ghostbusters (especially in terms of scripts; some of the early episodes of the "old" series were absolutely memorable, especially those written by J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5), but as I'm watching the DVDs I must say I'm enjoying the characters and the different take on the series, for me the series doesn't "shame" the Ghostbusters brand at all. I'm certain it helped me to enjoy the series the fact that Egon is voiced by the same voice actor as in the "old" series, it brings a certain familiarity to the show, a nice bridge between the old and the new. So, here I am, watching something Ghostbusters-related I haven't watched before.
Jimbob Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Just about to order Ghostbusters from Play-Asia. Currently watching: Ghostbusters (Blu-ray). What a great time to be a Ghostbusters fan.
flameboy Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Only ever watched a couple of episodes of Extreme Ghostbusters and hated it...Really didn't like it and have pretty much erased it from my memory...Just felt like it didn't do either the film or the original cartoon justice... Am loving watching the cartoons again they are awesome!
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Am I being a complete retard? This is out on Friday....why are you all importing it?
flameboy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Am I being a complete retard? This is out on Friday....why are you all importing it? PS3 Exclusive in Europe...so 360 owners are having to import if they want it now...
Jimbob Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Oh.....wow. Didn't know that. Losers. Its lucky it is region-free otherwise us 360 owners are in for a long wait (until October 31st). I feel sorry for Wii owners looking to get this as the US Version is region locked for the Wii, so they have to wait until October 31st. Its out now in America (16th June), so me thinks us 360 owners will get it some point either next week or early week after.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 I recieved my copy of Starfy and Chibi Robo DS yesterday and they shipped 2 days before Ghostbusters so it looks like all those who ordered from VGP will get the game this week!
Ike Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 360 version get! My local independent game shop is selling the US version so I snapped up a copy! Off to go play!
