PC gamers get blamed for piracy all the time. The master race, console gamers affirm, are degenerates who refuse to pay for games. Why then, is it becoming increasingly common for console versions of big games to hit the seedy underbelly of the internet first? One such game is Call of Duty: Ghosts.

We’ve received a few reports – which we’ve confirmed ourselves – that Call of Duty: Ghosts is already available to download, clocking in at about 10Gb. Usually, it tends to be the Xbox 360 version that hits torrents first, but in this case, it’s the PlayStation 3 version. We won’t link to the files, because piracy sucks – but anybody who knows how to use the internet should be able to find them.

We also got another report that legitimate copies of the game are for sale, on more than one format, in the Middle East already, well ahead of the intended street date – so expect the 360 version to be available for download soon.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is hitting retail on November 5 for the PC, Xbox 360, Wii U and PS3 versions. Next gen versions will launch alongside the new consoles.
