29th September 2005 - O'Neill Europe and EA Games (Electronic Arts) have teamed up to deliver SSXâ„¢ ON TOUR, the ultimate snowboarding game for consoles. As successor to the highly acclaimed SSX3, this new addition to the dynasty will be released globally in the autumn of 2005 and is set to take the virtual snowboarding experience to a completely new altitude.
 
It's been nearly 2 years since the last SSX offering was unleashed and ever since joypads have been receiving a hammering as millions of fingers, young and old, have learned to jib, fly, spin and grab on their way up the virtual pro snowboarding ranks. But the time for fresh terrains and new challenges has arrived and SSXâ„¢ ON TOUR provides all.
 
SSXâ„¢ ON TOUR is crammed with new features. Gamers can choose to create a rider or skier and build their career from the roots up as they progress from a slope-side wannabe to a mountain dominating rockstar. They can also compete for medals or just tear up the new terrain; no matter what line they take, style is of the essence as reputations are always on the line.
 
To celebrate the release of SSX™ ON TOUR, O'Neill are giving away a shed load of exciting prizes, which include a VIP trip to the O'Neill Pro Freestyle snowboard event in Avoriaz, France, clothing packages worth 750€ and copies of SSX™ ON TOUR. The SSX ON TOUR competition will be hosted at a special micro site accessible through oneilleurope.com.
 
SSX ON TOUR is available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® videogame system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, PSP™ handheld entertainment system.
