According to the official EA Sports FIFA 08 forum the release of the FIFA 08 Xbox360 and Playstation 3 is delayed in Europe.
EA Announcement:
"We're sorry to have to tell everyone that the FIFA 08 NG demo won't be launching in Europe today as was expected. Although the demo is being released in North America there were a couple of issues which we couldn't get ironed out in time to release today despite working through out the night to get these sorted."
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back

Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
WOW. EA delays the demo in EU ? THEIR BIGGEST MARKET !?
Anyhow, I hope they can get their stuff together though.
Thats smart, delay the demo in its biggest marketplace but release it somewhere that isn't interested in it. Its like if they released the demo of Nascar (god its a bad game) everywhere but America!
Whatever happened to the stuff being said last year that Europe was the most important market and whoever won the war in Europe won it worldwide.
I'll just get it from the US store.
So I'll be logging into my US account again to get the demos I want
sigh, and this coming from the fact no one likes soccer in the US.
Mind boggles.
....hate how EU gets screwed all the time, why? EA are really stupid for releasing in to the US and not to EU at the same time.
