I have no idea if this information is accurate, but Issam has left us this message regards running the game on Windows Vista operating systems:
Excellent news for Vista Owners. What you have to do is just update your SDK to a vista version . What is happening for Vista owners is that Direct x 9 is unable to play highly graphic games such as PES 2008, therefore the only solution is to update your SDK to a newer version which is available here from Microsoft for free – http://download.microsoft.com

The faces for the entire England team have landed on the web. From this we can also see that 21 of the players who make the side are:
Robinson, Kirkland, Terry, Ferdinand, King, G Neville, P Neville, Bridge, A Cole, Dawson, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, Downing, Wright-Phillips, Carrick, Owen, Rooney, Crouch, Defoe, Johnson.
The Good
The Bad
And The Ugly
Some of these faces look absolutely stunning (Terry and Gary Neville stood out for me), but some are a completely let down (Lampard and Owen). Huge leap forward though if you can look over the couple of sour apples in the basket.
Find the complete England squad here.
You can also see the Bayern Munich squad here.

A few different time expanders have been released for the PC demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. The best of which has been released by Juce over at Evo-Web. Here are the instructions from the Readme file:
Run timeExpander.exe, select your game executable, then pick the match time. You can select a value from the drop-down list, or you can enter any number you want between 5 and 255. The press “Save” button. Close the timeExpander program.
Now start the game as usual. When you get to the setting screens, the menu will still say “5 min.”, but don’t believe that! When the match starts, you’ll notice that the clock runs slower and the match will take whatever number of minutes you specified with timeExpander.

Many of you have been flooding the forum with your views and thoughts on the demo for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, so I thought I would share some of them right here on the blog.
‘Ristol’ says:
Downloaded it earlier today, have gotten a few matches in. Have to say that I’m just at awe over how much of a leap just about every aspect of the game has taken forward. Incredible. Everything just seems and feels a lot more authentic and real. Can’t wait to get my compy updated to enjoy the game with the graphics maxed out.
Meanwhile ‘Don Sweey’ ran into some troubles with Vista (and he wasn’t the only one!):
I’m in Windows Vista 64-bit, I’ve got the latest drivers from September 18 and it not only thinks my computer doesn’t meet the minimum specification, it believes my 640MB graphics card doesn’t have 64MB of memory. Oh and my controller isn’t recognised even though Windows recognises it. The demo looks s**t with the low quality setting I’m forced to use because the Settings program won’t accept anything higher – for the reasons stated before.
‘Onetimer’ got it working, but he wasn’t impressed:
Am I the only one who thinks this demo totally sucks? I mean the passing alone sucks so bad I don’t think I’ll be buying this rubbish. C’mon Konami, play a few matches of PES 5 and start everything all over again for PES 2009, thank you.
‘Gedo’ went into detail (read all here) and had this to say:
Well it’s like this, I was disappointed with the demo since minute one. It’s fine if it was a current gen game – I mean these are the changes I would like to see the company make every year. But this is not a technological leap from one console era to another.
He was one of few not enjoying the demo, ‘Fiend’ made these comments:
The demo is incredible. I like the gamplay very much and I play the game in medium quality yet it still looks AMAZING.
All in all I would say the response has been 80% positive on the forum. The only major concerns people seem to have with the PC version are the Vista issues and the fact you need a rather orgasmic graphics card to run the game smoothly on the high settings (required for many graphic features).
