Bit late isn't it? All the All Ireland hype is over.

nah it will sell very well for xmas, given the catchment that it is going to have. just mentioned it to a few lads and they are mad to get it.

but what is average ps2 going to sell like? i cant see irgurus making much money or making a second version for that matter...

[tetsujin1979]

With the PS3 imminent it's a little odd they didn't wait for that.

[paul_oshea]

surely you can play ps2 gamse on a ps3 i.e. backward compatible?

[Réiteoir]

Apparently they've put in another feature - where the crowd accuse each other of not being "Proper Irish"

best thing is - I was actually there to witness this whole saga unfolding on a grass verge at Ruislip

[thejollyrodger]

The game is a bit late IMO. The PS3 will be out soon and no one will be bothering with an obsolete platform. Better luck next time lads

[The Stars]

I heard that not many real players are on it?

LOL, as was i. very very good, up the rossies. if its backward compatible which is say it is, it doesnt matter a wolly what it comes out on.

[carrickharp]

[gustavo]

[Ash]

Press triangle button for Westmeath to bottle it
Press square to go on the beer the night before a match
Press circle to call your supporters "animals"

[Lionel Ritchie]

Experience the skill and
excitement of one of the world’s oldest games as you battle for victory
with your favourite County teams

Queens Park Rangers are the same age as Gaelic football ffs.

I like the way Eamonn McCann said it best "Gaelic Football is a traditional Irish game to about the same extent that The Corrs play traditional Irish music."

square = sligo beat roscommon then lose to mayo
circle = sligo beat mayo then lose to roscommon
triangle = sligo lose to galway (every time)
