FIFA 2008 gets demo date and release date

EA Sports have today announced both the release date and the demo date for their latest instalment, FIFA 2008 on the PC and XBox 360. The nature of the demo is unknown but if it follows suit with the previous offerings, then it will be 45 minutes of play with two top teams competing against each other - always Barcelona and someone else. You'll be able to compete against either the computer AI on the Easy setting or with a friend.

EA have said that FIFA 2008 has undergone a complete overhaul this time round with many new features added. Amongst those changes are the inclusion of 30 leagues, 620 teams and more than 15.000 life-like players: that a 20% increase over the 2007 edition.

Cuckoo for Kaka

In addition, Ronaldinho and his fellow faces of FIFA will be providing motion capture for the game, to ensure "body movements, individual moves and the playing style of each athlete is captured and digitised to become the life-like movement of the virtual players in future versions of EA's FIFA games", says Joe Booth, Senior Producer.

"We are proud to call some of the world's best football athletes our partners. The access, guidance and insight they give us means that FIFA 08 will create a next-gen experience that not only looks authentic, but that captures the emotion, finesse and beauty of the game." He concluded.

If all that doesn't whet your appetite you can try the game out for yourself on the 27th August and if you like it you can place your pre-order and expect it to arrive in the shops on the 28th September. Or if you can't wait for that then you can view some gameplay footage below:



As to when a PS3 demo will arrive isn't clear at this point in time but hopefully on the same day.

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Today I played around this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Playstation tournaments[/url]
They say you can play online FIFA Soccer game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?

Have you heard about GlideTV Navigator for PS3?

My friend has a playstation 3 and another one of my friends games got stuck in the system. How do you get the disk out? It won't eject the disk no matter what and of coarse, it won't let any other disks come in. How do you lift the cover or even get the disk out? Nothing came up on the playstation website so please give me lots of info.

I just received a bluetooth headset and cannot get it to turn on. I have it charging and connected to the playstation. It shows that it is charging by flashing red but when I try to turn the power on nothing happens. How do I fix this? Thanks!
