Just wait until FM comes out in the US. Pre-order the exclusive PC/Mac version on Amazon.com.</p> </p> Pro Evolution 2008 will be out in North Americaby lateNovember I believe. Those rumors about Spring are supposedly full of crap. You'd be hard pressed to get the game from Europe anyway as they are usually behind theNorth Americanrelease in terms of often times kits, logos and other things.</p>

Not too much to do with kits in that game. As long as the colors are right I'm happy, since I play in text only (yes, I play it retro.)How long do you think I should wait until they make the announcement for PES2008? I don't think they'd announce it in Novemeber that it'll be released.</p>
Do as you wish then.Konami should have arelease date in early November if it releasesduring that month. If not, then I will wait.</p>
