ITS INCREDIBLE!
Games Press 15:30 23/11/2004
Tuesday 23 November 2004/... After a hectic week in the nation's betting shops for the "Official Computer and Video Games Christmas Number One" slot, a new contender has come to the fore. ELSPA (Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association) and Ladbrokes, the UK's favourite bookmaker has today confirmed that The Incredibles video game has been given odds of 8/1, moving it up towards the new favourite, GTA: San Andreas.
"It's definitely heating up out there," said Roger Bennett, director general of ELSPA. "Successful movie releases always have a positive impact on video games sales and Pixar titles have performed amazing well in the past. However, it's still anyone's game at this stage."
David McMorrow, Ladbrokes Marketing Manager said: "We've been taken a little by surprise by the interest shown in The Incredibles. We posted odds of 16/1 on Monday, had to cut the price overnight to 8/1 and this is bound to drop even further. Bearing in mind that last year's winner came from out of nowhere, then we think there is a good chance we could be looking at the 2004 winner. Especially when you look at all the hype the movie is generating."
The revised odds (as at 09:00 today) for the top ten titles, compiled by Ladbrokes in association with ELSPA, are:
7/4 - GTA: San Andreas
3/1 - Need For Speed: Underground 2
5/1 - Call of Duty: Finest Hour
5/1 - GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
6/1 - Half Life 2
7/1 - Halo 2
8/1 - The Incredibles
25/1 - Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within
25/1 - SingStar: Party
25/1 - The Getaway: Black Monday
Prices correct at time of writing and subject to change.
Ladbrokes Rules apply.
Combined multi-format sales will count in the week running up to Christmas.
Ladbrokes will take the final result from ELSPA/ChartTrack.
These prices are available through Ladbrokes shops, over the phone and at www.ladbrokes.com
