*Don’t cross the streams! The Ghostbusters demo is due out soon after E3 exclusively on PSN, so can join the boys in grey as they slug it out with pesky poltergeists in preparation for the release of the game in late June.

Its looking likely from that article that the demo may be out this thursday (possibly next :P)
Unfortunatley though it does say that its a psn exclusive but being from the EU blog that may just mean exclusive to playstation in the EU.
I just think… it would’ve been more to their credit if they hadn’t intentionally/unintentionally made it look that they were trying to boost their console’s profile.
Ghostbusters is a property that’s so much bigger than one specific console, and as it was always the plan to release cross-platform it’s still seeming very mean spirited.
That’s awesome news if it applies to the U.S. PSN as well.
I’m inclined to believe that since the GB game is going to be a timed release in EU and not in the U.S. the demo may appear on the Xbox in the U.S. at the same time… but that’s just a hunch. As far as we know this announcement may ONLY apply to the EU and the U.S. will get the demo next week or the same week as the game goes live. Who knows?
Only time will tell.
How many crazy people do you think there are out there who will buy a PS3 JUST to play the demo?
The sooner the better for me, but I’ll be happy if we get a demo this week at all so I’m not going to be picky about it. I don’t even really need a demo, but it would be nice to get my hands on the game for a little just because we’ve been waiting so long for this game and it’ll be great to get some time on it as many others have gotten to opportunity to at the numerous con’s the game has been setup at.
If they don’t release a demo I’m fine with that too, though… I think the people who are getting shafted by the delay should get demo access, though! It’s only fair since they now have to wait longer to play the game.
Edit: And yes, that is correct. E3 begins today. G4TV is broadcasting live starting from 1pm eastern. That will probably be broadcast on TV and on the web.
it would be great to get the demo this week on psn and 360, like said before we have all been waiting a long time. most demo’s come out after the game has hit the shops, so it would take some of the sting out of all the delayed we have had with gb
I had no intentions of getting a PS3, until I heard about the GB game (which is why I bought it), back in '07. So, it is possible. Maybe, not specifically for the demo, but definately for the game.
Heh, well, it’s a European Playstation blog and seeing as how that’s those only version coming out in June in Europe, well, it just makes sense to only mention the PS3 demo.
I agree with Kalonthar. Just because they don’t mention the 360, doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be a 360 demo released at the same time.
Then again, this also can mean that there’s not neccessarily going to be a US demo release just yet. All we know from this article is that there will supposedly be a PS3 EU demo release. Nothing else is confirmed or denied by this article.
