Originally mentioned by fpot mentioned a while back, the Australian qualifyers for the FIFA Interactive World Cup are kicking off today:

The FIFA Interactive World Cup Qualifying Tournament on Xbox Live is a qualifying tournament to the FIFA Interactive World Cup Regional Tournament in Sydney, and is a real time skill-based contest in which Xbox Live subscribers can play FIFA 2005 game on the Xbox Live gaming platform.

If you're one of the top 4 players when the Xbox Live qualifying tournament closes on November the 4th, you and a mate will travel to the finals to be played in Sydney!

If you're a FIFA ninja, head over and sign up on the Xbox site.

Maybe AusGamers console players know that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is a better xbox soccer game, or we are just sick of EA pumping out the same s*** with slightly prettier graphics every year but charging full price.

I haven't tried Pro Evo but I've heard its da bomb, looking forward to giving it a go

fifa = overrated, overhyped
pes/winningeleven = the real deal

Is WinningEleven coming out on xbox?

Thanks for the mention trog, but sifn't just promote my thread :P

yeah it's coming out as pro evolution soccer 4. i believe the release date is 4th Dec.

why try to get good at a game when the gameplay clearly pales in comparison to what's available?

all these "new" features that are now making it into fifa have been available for pes/we for years...

we only need to look back at fifa2003 to see that you couldnt even head the ball when receiving an aerial ball.

real simulator my ass fifa is... i see lots of people in real life kicking a ball from one end of the field to the other while facing the opposite direction.

good for you if there is competitions for fifa but i'm not playing the game serious enough to want to play it to win trips overseas especially when it's not enjoyable to play in the first place.

Love my Fifa, I reckon it gets better and more challenging every year (goalshooting is a lot tougher these days).

Would have loved to have gone down for the comp. Maybe next year.

Trip to Sweden up for grabs in this one.

Last time I checked Zurich was in Switzerland.

I'm just saying what I read off the FIWC website. Pretty sure their saying Sweden.
