Almost a month after it's exclusive PS3 launch in Europe, there is finally word from official sources that a patch is in the works for Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

The game has had it's fair share of problems during it's development, with multiple publishers picking it up over the years, with the last being Sony in Europe who set it as a time-exclusive for the PS3 until October.

However, Xbox fans may never know the issues that the PS3 gamers have had to endure this last month, freezes and lockups so bad that a gamer must power off their PS3 by the rear rocker switch. Glitched Trophies that have the "Plat Club" gamers tearing their hair out, and errors when players from Europe and Australia try to play with players from the US. Not to mention issues with gamesave data not loading or corrupting.

None of these issues are mention in reviews online and offline, yet to any Ghostbuster: The Video Game owner are very common place now. This is particularly frustrating to owners as despite these glitches, it has been a well received game, scoring quite highly. Most frustrating is the lack of any official word to these troubled gamers, thankfully I have now received responses to my calls and emails and am pleased to pass onto fellow GB:TVG owner's confirmation from Andy Barnes at Sony Computer Entertainment UK and Dan Irish, CEO of Threewave Software, the company behind the Multiplayer of GB: TVG.

According to their emails, while not a definite date, it does confirm the patch is in production and could see itself being downloaded and installed on PS3's by September, almost certainly before the Xbox 360 release.

In Lyon, France today Atari has announced its fiscal results for the first quarter ended June 30. Total revenues were up 30.1% to 54.5 million euros, thanks mainly to the success of two titles: Ghostbusters: The Video Game and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

The U.S. business drove the bulk of sales with 45.5 million euros in the quarter, which is an 82% increase. This offset a nearly 49% decline in the European business, as revenues dropped to 8.6 million euros. In the U.S., Atari also noted that it saw improved third-party distribution revenues, which now represent approximately 33% of U.S. Distribution revenues (thanks to local distribution deals with ZOO Games and CDV Software Entertainment).

Gamezine writes: "We just thought we'd set the record straight. We're not too much a fan of beating a dead horse, but our own mistake of reporting the PlayStation 3 resolution of the Ghostbusters video game as 75% of the Xbox 360 game has been picked up around the net."

Richard Leadbetter – Director of HD consultancy Digital Foundry and author of Eurogamer's multiplatform comparison Face-off features – tweeted that playing Ghostbusters on the PS3 was like "time-warping back to the dawn of PS3 development." Ouch! That's especially painful to read considering the high hopes Terminal Reality – developers of the just-released Ghostbusters game – have for their multiplatform Infernal Engine.

Instead of leaving it up to internet Matlocks, Joystiq asked Terminal Reality to comment on the controversy. A spokesperson for the developer told them, "For the record, the PS3 version [of Ghostbusters] is softer due to the 'quincunx' antialiasing filter and the fact we render at about 75% the resolution of the 360 version. So you cannot directly compare a screen shot of one to the other unless you scale them properly. The PS3 does have less available RAM than the 360 – but we managed to squeeze 3 out of 4 textures as full size on the PS3." So: is the PS3 "maxed out"?
