SEGA today announced that Football Manager 2008 on Xbox 360 has gone gold and will be released in the UK on the 28th March.

Football Manager 2008 for Xbox 360 has been updated with all transfers from the last transfer window, and retains all the depth and realism of the record breaking PC version. The Xbox 360 version also utilises Xbox Live to have different online modes to the PC game, permitting you to challenge friends to one-on-one matches and even host tournaments, and is a multi-region game, so European copies will work on Xbox 360’s around the world.

“We’re really pleased to be able to offer all Xbox 360 owners the chance to play Football Manager” commented Miles Jacobson, Studio Director of Sports Interactive “This years game is the first that “core” users will be able to enjoy due to the hard work of the development team, and we look forward to getting a new generation of budding Football Manager’s across Europe.”

Football Manager 2008 was released across Europe for PC and Apple Macintosh in October 2007 and is the fastest selling game in the series to date. It will be interesting to see if the Xbox 360 version keeps up his trend.
