hope it's worth buying !!!

[clc.sheff]

Same here, would love a good cricket game on me ps3 as I'm still on Brian lara and it's only a matter of time before my launch 60 gigger goes up the spout

[Lezman]

Does anyone know when this is actually coming out?

I'm seeing dates from July 3rd to August 7th (which is too late as the Ashes will almost be over!)

[Goooner]

I think I even saw a date of 28th August!!

It seems crazy not to have this out to coincide with the start of The Ashes.

[Stinja]

Limited edition set announced:

Apparently if the excitement of the game isn't enough, you can go into "hype-mode" by playing with the LE bonus

While not too enthused myself it's good news for minority sports lovers, and maybe they'll do a rugby game if this sells ok?

[Lezman]

Done a bit more googlising. Game have apparently said early July.
Also it might be out early in Australia - so will import if needed

[humanfish]

The graphics are reasonable if not spectacular in my opinion. Still, as long as it playes good.

[clc.sheff]

How did ryan giggs get in the side to bat?

[humanfish]

I'm wondering who the ginger Leprechaun is in the first image lol

[bellso]

Haven't played a cricket game for donkeys years, so may go for this if i can get for under £40 on release.

Let's hope England are doing ok come release date [not looking so good so far...............]

[monkey business]

This will no doubt drop in price not so long after release. I think i'll wait.

[stusjm]

This has now got an offical release date of August 7th.

Yeh I'd love to play a demo of this too. Just had a quick Google and come across this... so signs look good.

[clc.sheff]

Hopefully the devs will come across this thread

NO DEMO = NO BUY

[monkey business]

Hopefully we'll see a demo. Forgot which cricket game it was but I remember playing a demo of it on the PS2. Loved it.

[humanfish]

Well, there is an Xbox demo by all accounts so touch wood there should be q PS3 one

Having played the Xbox 360 demo i love it so far. To me it feels like it will play a much better game of cricket this time round as opposed to the arcadey feel of the past Lara game. Really cant wait for the full game now.

looking good...any news on if us ps3 owners get a chance to play a demo?

[HimIndoors]

Are many of the people on here getting this?

Feel free to add me (PSN Hammondo) if you are

[rosskemp9]

just pre ordered from zavvi for £29.95 the best price i could find feel free to add me aswell as i will be playing proper test cricket

[The Fuggler]

Yep - put a pre-order in with Argos during the 20% offer.

[HimIndoors]

Nice one, if we get enough interest would you guys be interested in a league/tournament?

20 twenty world cup etc?

[stusjm]

I'm a bit worried about the online play for this. Any sort of delay, stuttering, lag will make it unplayable. I'll probably wait a few days until someone has tested that first. If online is decent enough I will definitely get this.
