EA and Xbox Live

[Weinberg]

I've very recently bought an Xbox and also Xbox Live, and am looking forward to Burnout 3 (as it's not coming out on GC...and the online multiplayer sounds like a great laugh) and also TS3, as the GC version won't be online.

However I know EA were reluctant to support Microsoft's online service for various reasons till now, and when I read in the OXB magazine that EA may charge extra, it worried me.

So seeing as their first online game, Burnout 3 is less than 4 weeks away, have EA stated that we won't have to pay extra to play EA games on Live, or is this still unknown?

don't think EA have announced anything officially but rumours were that latest incarnation of Madden will have a Live option but at a monthly fee only EA could be so cocky to try something like this, M$ must have been very desperate to get them onboard

I heard from an 'EA employee' that Madden, NHL and Tiger Woods would NOT be online for the XBox in the UK, only the PS2 versions... (which seems crazy!!!)
