Sensible world of Soccer on Xbox Live

Apparently!

That reminds of several hours (days!) huddled around an old Amiga monitor with loads of my friends, god I was crap at this game, but I loved it!

If my competition pro USB joystick works with this I think I can kiss goodbye to the next few weeks...

Also on Windows Vista! Come on codemasters (?), get it out for XP!

Did the newsletter actually give a specific date when this will be available?

SENSIBLE WORLD OF SOCCER (PEGI 3+)

We're hitting on an Xbox LIVE Arcade game this week because this one is just too good to ignore. Sensible World of Soccer is a classic among classics, a simple but endlessly enjoyable game of football with depth that defies its simple appearance. We dare say SWOS is the perfect Xbox LIVE Arcade game, even if you're not a fan of football. Playing with your friends across Xbox LIVE is worth your Gold membership alone! Only one button is required to pass, shoot or tackle but you can bend the ball like Beckham (or Nakamura) to beat the keeper or swerve past defenders. Formations and team tactics can be adjusted and you can create your own teams from scratch if you find that 1400 teams from five continents are not enough! There's even a Player/Manager mode built in for good measure.

With SWOS newly reworked for HD and widescreen displays plus improved sound this is gaming nirvana, no questions asked. Download the demo, you won't be sorry.

ETA 2007 is the only thing it says.

I've seen 29th of August in a few places. Could be wrong but no reason to think so...
