Ghostbusters - Region Locked?

[Deleted User] · 2009-06-18 22:08:38

I am currently in the States and would like to buy Ghostbusters here, as there's the timed delay on its release in Europe. Yet when I asked about if it is region locked, I was told it was.

Thanking you kindly.

Actually on a side-note; I was reading through a guide for New York and discovered that the Ghostbusters Firehouse isn't too far from where I'm staying. So methinks I might take a tour out there tomorrow and take some photos

Apparently it's just a shell, nothing inside, but hell even photos outside would be awesome!!!

Plus they're missing out on serious tourism dollars by not having something there!!!

Its not a matter of sony being faster getting it out.
Sony got a timed exclusive deal for the European release.

Which was a pointless exercise seeing as the XBOX 360 version is region free

The game is fairly boring.

Once the initial novelty wears off (I was a Ghostbusters kid in the 80s) there's not much left.

Nice photos. That piano is in FAO Schwartz, isn't it? Who were bought out by Toys 'R Us recently, I think...

Yeah, it was in FAO Schwartz. There were a load of kids on it at the time I was there, so thought it would have been a bit odd for me to stroll over and recreate the movie.
