that the teenage footie star will join the roster of "Red Devils"
who are featured in their upcoming Manchester United DVD Trading
Cardz. This ground-breaking collection is set for retail release in

September 4, 2004 -- Hot on the heels of Wayne Rooney settling into
his new football club and Everton F.C. counting their 27 million
($48.5 million) windfall, Multimedia publisher Serious announced
today that the teenage footie star will join the roster of "Red
Devils" featured in their upcoming Manchester United DVD Trading
Cardz. This ground-breaking collection is set for retail release in
the mid-autumn, with the Rooney card being one of five subsequent
booster cardz to follow during the 2004-2005 season. Described by
Club Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the hottest football
talents in the last thirty years, it is only fitting that a Rooney
DVD card is produced, said David Brown, President and CEO of
Serious, headquartered in New York. With Man Us existing global fan
base at over 70 million, the Rooneymania that swept the world
during UEFA EURO 2004 this summer will only grow those statistics
further. Serious are therefore delighted to deliver the first ever
Rooney DVD Trading Card, sealing the fate of our Man U collection
as one of the most anticipated pieces of Premiership merchandise to
debut this season. The Manchester United DVD Cardz will play in
standard DVD players as well as PS2 and XBOX. Each card features a
star player from the first team, including strikers Cristiano
Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and goalie Tim Howard. The cardz
are jam packed with outstanding interactive player video that in
turn triggers extra highlights, as well as "behind the scenes"
info, photos, bios, stats, trivia and strategy games. The cardz
will retail at $4.99/2.99 each. With offices in London, New York
and Singapore, Serious is a worldwide publisher of interactive CD
and DVD Cardz. Shaped like traditional paper trading cards, CD
Cardz hold up to 80 megabytes of content and are both Windows and
Mac compatible, requiring no additional software or installation.
DVD Cardz hold 0.5 gigabytes and can be played in any standard DVD
player, including PlayStation2 and Xbox. Serious Cardz are sold at
over 40,000 retail outlets worldwide and online at www.serious.com.
In addition to their current partners at the NFL, NBA, UEFA EURO
2004 and Manchester United, Serious has produced CD Cardz for
New-Line Cinema (The Lord of the Rings), Sony Pictures
(Spider-man), Columbia Pictures (Men in Black 2), Warner Brothers,
(The Matrix Reloaded), Miramax (Spy Kids 2 & 3), Universal
Pictures (Jurassic Park 3) and C20th Fox (Buffy the Vampire
Slayer).Related News:
