Recently, Konami has been disappointing football fans with the Pro Evolution Soccer series as soccer fans are increasingly forsaking PES and pledging their allegiance to FIFA. However, Pro Evolution Soccer 12 will be released tomorrow (14 October). and HMV seems to be backing Konami.

If you’re not satisfied with FIFA 12, you can stop by HMV this weekend and trade it in to get PES 2012 for 99p. Good deal right? Well done to HMV for capitalising on EA and Konami’s rivalry. However, FIFA 12 went triple platinum within a week; it sold 3.2 million copies, which is the largest first week sales of any sport game to date. Plus, taking into account all the positive reviews it has received, it looks like HMV is being a bit ambitious with this offer; it might still be far too early to ask gamers to forfeit FIFA 12 for the less anticipated PES 2012.

What do you think gamers? Does this offer tempt you? Please leave any thoughts below.
