ESPN X Computer Games

January 10, 2001 2:54 PM

A while back there was some possibilities of ESPN2 giving coverage to a recent CPL event (which ended up only sorta happening). Well get this, ESPN2 in cooperation with Konami and Circuit City have done something crazy. A videogame has just become an official part of the Winter X Games. (Also thanks to Cached & DR)

Konami has teamed up with Circuit City to allow anyone with some good reflexes and love for snowboarding to compete for an actual X Games medal. Starting in local preliminaries, the competition will end on February 3 and the final will be televised on ESPN and ESPN2 as an official event during the coverage of the Winter X Games.
