World Cup LIVE

Starting tomorrow Xbox LIVE will be home to the 'Summer of Football', a scheme to bring soccer related entertainment directly to your console. Microsoft (in conjunction with Adidas and Konami) will be bringing new avatar hats, caps, banners, balls and shirts to the Marketoplace in all your favourite countries colours (in case you have more than one). Shirts will set you back 240 points each while other items will cost 320 points. Charity '1Goal' will also be giving out a free avatar item for those wanting to show support for their cause (education for all). Apart from all the avatar items, you can pick up a few games at half price, including FIFA 10 Ultimate Team, Football Genius and Sensible Soccer. You can also look forward to a 'tournament predictor' tool and 'penalty shoot-out' application which can be played competitively with your friends. No need to worry about a lack of friends either as Microsoft brings the Xbox world together by offering free gold privileges to all Xbox LIVE users for the weekend (11th - 13th). Finally, you'll be able to get all the latest news, videos and info from the World Cup right on your dashboard, officially making your Xbox the place to be for this years World Cup (well, apart from being at the World Cup itself, obviously)
