Kicking Off

15.03.2008

We're in Wembley and Play.com Live is just kicking off. Literally.

The Fifa Street 3 Football tricks challenge just finished and we spoke to the lovely Josh who won an X box for his football tricks. Very impressive.

The queue is going around the block and the place is absolutely buzzing in the main room. The stage looks amazing and there are more computer nerds than I've ever seen in one room.

But we're hanging out in the VIP room where the bands and celebs are chilling on bean bags and playing on the X box. I've just grabbed Stuart Manning (Ross Owen in Hollyoaks) for a quick chat.

After admiring just how “awesome,” the place is (Me not him. He laughed at my Americanism) he told me he used to be a computer geek but now he doesn't even own a PS3.

He said, “I'm amazed at how many people are waiting outside. It's huge.”

And he's right. It is. Keep checking back throughout the day as I'll chat to more people in the VIP room and the winners of the Rockband competition later.

Beth Rowley is playing at the moment and I'm going to grab Vincent Vincent in a sec before they go on stage.
