Written Friday, September 19, 2008 by James Parkin

To celebrate the upcoming launch of FIFA 09, EA SPORTS is proud to announce that a full one-off screening of the TV advert will premiere this Sunday during the Sky Sports' Super Sunday showdown between Chelsea and Manchester United.

EA SPORTS has secured the entire second half-time break and will broadcast the full four minute advert featuring cover stars Wayne Rooney and Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuaín.

'We're very excited to be showing the full four-minute advert during half time of one of the biggest games in football' said Trevor Uzice, Senior Product Manager - FIFA 09. 'This year's campaign is all about bringing football fans and gamers together and we hope the advert will prove very popular with everyone.'

Post-match the advert can be viewed at http://www.fifa09.ea.com.

The Sky Sports screening will be the kick-off to the FIFA 09 launch, coming out on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, NDS, PSP, PC and Mobile from October 3rd.

Must have cost them a pretty penny. Anyway, to make this a worthwhile thread, favourite advert for a game - GO!

I love that advert, bloody brilliant use of the characters if I may say so myself.

Crikey, 4 minutes? That's just enough time for a 25 yard shot to float back down on to the pitch............OH NO HE DIII'NT!!!!!11!1

Strange choice of Higuain for the cover, though.
