 Always wanted to live the footballer's lifestyle, but find yourself more of an armchair supporter? Ever wished to sign for Manchester United, but stuck with two left feet? Well your prayers may well have been answered. Thanks to Play.com and Konami, you could win £50,000, simply by playing the latest game in the hit series Pro Evolution Soccer.
There's one thing better than playing the latest footie game, and that's winning prizes whilst you do it. In conjunction with the nice people at Play.com, Konami is offering £50,000 to the best Pro Evo 2008 player in the UK. Have you got the flicks, tricks and kicks to beat thousands of other players and walk away with the £50,000 prize money? Whoever said that you'd get nowhere in life playing computer games was obviously telling a lie.
OK, so maybe £50,000 won't allow you to live quite the footballer's lifestyle we'd all like to have. It'd barely cover David Beckham's hairdressing costs, let alone the Christmas presents for his wife and kids. However we reckon it'd fill quite a gap in most people's lives. You could take two years off work, take a sizeable chunk off the mortgage, pay off the credit cards, or buy a real football pitch of your own. And you won't have to attend any cold Sunday morning training sessions or be booed by the fans either - you can take part in the competition from the comfort of your own home, in your favourite armchair with beer in hand. It doesn't get much better than that.
It doesn't matter which format you're thinking of playing on - PC, PS3, PS2 or Xbox 360 - everyone can enter the tournament as long as they have their console hooked up to the internet. The tournament kicks off in December 2007, which gives you plenty of time to practice your skills (and dirty slide tackling) on the new game after it hits the shelves on 26th October. The top 32 players will then go on to the national finals, which will take place in March 2008 at a prestige location on a format to be decided. The only requirement to enter the competition is that you buy your copy of PES 2008 from Play.com. But don't worry - this won't break the bank, as Play.com are one of the cheapest and best sites on the internet for entertainment, gadgets, and lots more. There's free delivery on all their products, so you could order Pro Evo, a new console, and even a new HD TV all at the same time from Play.com - and have the lot delivered to your door in a matter of days. It could be the best investment you ever make.
And even if you don't win the competition, there's no need to cry like Gazza. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is one of the most advanced football games in the world, jam packed with loads of new features. There's a new and improved artificial intelligence system which adapts to your style of play, an enhanced close control system, improved set pieces, and improved player details with full facial animation. Absorbing commentary by John Champion and Mark Lawrenson makes it seem like you're really there. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is guaranteed to offer many hours of entertainment, already having received rave reviews from many websites and magazines.
So if you want to be in with a chance with scooping the £50,000 - buy your copy of PES 2008 from Play.com today! And remember, the competition is exclusive to Play.com - people who've bought games elsewhere simply won't be able to enter - increasing your chances of winning even more!
