Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, announced today that in celebration of the eagerly-anticipated Ghostbusters video game, they will be teaming up with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to take the legendary Ectomobile, aka ECTO-1, on tour around the US.

"The ECTO-1 is one of the most memorable and loved vehicles of all-time," says Al Simone, VP of Marketing, Sierra Entertainment. "Sony has been a fantastic partner to work with and we're very excited to have a hand in taking ECTO off the screen and out on the road - this way fans can experience a true piece of ghost busting history first hand as they get a taste of Ghostbusters: The Video Game."

The ECTO-1 will see several stops, including five which are a part of a partnership with Boost Mobile Nightshift and Hot Import Nights events, and a chance to get up close and personal with fans at Knott's Scary Farm and the L.A. Auto Show later this year.

ECTO-1 Tour Schedule:

June 21 - Nightshift New York (Belmont Raceway; New York, NY)
August 9 - Nightshift Pomona (Pomona Fairplex; Pomona, CA)
August 29-31 - Penny Arcade Expo (Seattle Conv. Ctr; Seattle, WA)
Sept. 20 - Nightshift Pleasanton (Alameda Fairgrounds; Pleasanton, CA)
Sept. 27 - Hot Import Nights (Minneapolis Conv. Ctr; Minneapolis, MN)
Oct. 11 - Hot Import Nights (Dallas Conv. Ctr; Dallas, TX)
Oct. 15 - Nov. 1 - Knott's Scary Farm (Knott's Berry Farm; Buena Park, CA)
Nov. 19-30 - L.A. Auto Show (L.A. Conv. Ctr; Los Angeles, CA)

As a result of being shown off at a number of car shows, Sony has wasted no time in taking advantage of the opportunity to whore out the machine with some of their latest products, in order to get a little bit of that "Ecto-rub."

"ECTO-1 now sports a Sony XAV-W1 double din touch screen A/V center, Xplod XS-GT1625A speakers and an Xplod XS-L10S slim subwoofer - all the essentials to keep ECTO-1's sound system on par with the rest of the ghost catching equipment found on the Ghostbusters' primary mode of transportation."

The Ghostbusters game is on track for a Fall 2008 release, and has not yet been rated.
