Poker Videogame - Announced 
Posted by: admin at Jul 07, 2005 08:18 pm
Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) will unveil a
sneak preview of the highly anticipated World Series of Poker video game
based on the widely popular World Series of Poker (WSOP) Tournament at this
year's Lifestyle Show in Las Vegas on July 6 - 10.
Activision will develop and publish the World Series of Poker video game for
PlayStation*2 computer entertainment system, PSP(tm)
(PlayStation(r)Portable) system, Xbox*, Nintendo GameCube* and PC featuring
the likenesses of poker professionals participating in the 2005 WSOP
Tournament. The game will offer players a truly unique experience unlike
any other poker video game on the market today. The video game is expected
to be available at retail stores nationwide later this summer.
"The World Series of Poker is the world's premiere poker event, drawing
thousands of entrants and millions of viewers worldwide," said David Oxford
of Activision, Inc. "So it's a perfect fit to preview this exciting video
game to participants of the WSOP Tournament where it will deliver to
consumers the same excitement and authenticity of pulling up a chair at the
WSOP table and competing against players of this year's WSOP Tournament."
For the first time ever, the 2005 WSOP Tournament will be held at Harrah's
Rio Suites in Las Vegas, the same location simulated in the video game and
the location of this year's Lifestyle Show. ESPN has aired the WSOP seven
times since introducing the sport to the network in 1994, and garnered a 1.2
overall rating with an average of more than one million viewing households
during their 2004 presentation of poker's premiere event. The "World Series
of Poker" video game will be featured in television spots on ESPN during the
tournament.
