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.

that you have to pay for Xbox Live.

So you have to pay for the game, 50-60 bucks. Then you have to pay for your broadband internet access. I'll be generous and say 35 bucks a month, which is what Cox charges me, and they are Live compatible. Then you have to pay for Xbox Live, which is an unknown amount, since I don't really know or care.
And THEN EA wants you to pay to be able to fucking PLAY their game against somebody else?

Note to everybody who will wind up paying EA for this "privilege".
I have an excellent deal on some prime real estate land for you in Florida. Please email me.
