Football season hits gaming consoles discusses the possibility that paying to play online is part of the future of the very popular world of console football games. "The online connected console is a brand new concept," noted EA president John Riccitiello in a conference call Wednesday. "We do not want to set a long term precedent that it's a free benefit, but we don't think we can get paid for the simple act of matching two consumers to play against one another. So what we've been doing is looking at alternatives." Also, HomeLAN Fed's Masters Of The Universe Q&A talks about the upcoming cartoon-inspired console game.

I can understand where MS has to charge for Xbox Live! as theres a huge infrastructure that goes along with it but EA are just greedy bastards...always have been. Matter of fact, this was the sticking point between the recent MS/EA fallout. Its only a matter of time before any potential goodwill is lost when EA continues fisting its customers without the Crisco...(or something like that)

BTW, release MPBT:3025 to a group who actually cares about that particular IP you evil bastards!!
