Thank god for this post, i just found out they are updating BF2 to 1.50 for Vista ! NOW IT WILL ACTUALLY WORK! (Maybe) I should check out the EA forums more often......
Hmm... nothing seems to be happening at the moment. I've noticed two accounts there that are obviously part of the attack though. I'm not sure if it would be against the rules to post their names though.
Just wondering, what is happening at 7PM Central Time?
Again, why shouldn't they say no to it if it will cause some of there games to crash? "
I don't think i wanna have a conversation with someone who can't differentiate between their adverbs and possessive pronouns. "
Oh boohoo, cry me a river.
You know you fail when you pick out little minor grammatical errors in 1 post to use against them. I wasn't even being hostile to you, then you go all dick on me. Go away.
? I can totally understand where EA is coming from, from my understanding Sony decides to add this in now, and by adding it in some of EA's games wont work so they are refusing the new firmware update. What's so wrong about that? "
"

It's not that it'll Crash the games, it's that it WON'T be enabled with those games, and EA are being Pissy about it.
@CL60: Technically, I went 'all dick' on you before you started typing like Mike Tyson. I pretty much disregarded anything you said after you initially demonstrated your biased perspective of PS3 owners and fans in general, even though you clearly knew nothing of the issue.

I have a PS3, good job dude, and I'm pretty sure one grammatical error isn't "typing like Mike Tyson" You need to grow up dude. Keep your bullshit off of GiantBomb or leave. Choose one.

This is like town hall protests but several times stupider. This is the thing these people get passionate about, with all the real world problems. Laughable.
Mreh. Whatever gets results, I say. The form of protest may be childish, but if it garners the attention of gaming blogs, maybe EA will do the right thing, even if it means they're sort of forced to do it to avoid the negative PR.
I'm pretty all this level of protest does is single out the kind of people its perfectly okay to ignore. I mean really, is the endgame here some EA exec seeing scat in a thread and going "well by golly that settles it, we must give in"?
Ermm...it is just sony fanboys crying...do you think it's Nintendo fanboys crying about it or something. I never once said it was the entire fanbase, I clearly just said it's just sony fanboys crying, which it indeed is.

lol so clueless... "
How about you fuck off. What the fuck did I do to you? Go troll somewhere else. You do not make any sense at all and I call you out on it and your only come back is. "LAWL UR CLUELESS!" Seriously, fuck off.

How can everyone be certain that this is legit, and indeed if it is slightly, I'm sure there is no way that a major brand like EA would stop supporting a major console. I'm still buying FIFA 10 on my PS3, and I think any boycotts are stupid.

I have no fucking Idea what anyone is talking about here. A tip, post a link to the story or to the place where its all happening, just for future reference.
@PJ: You mean like these posts, which are on page 2?

Yeah. Guy who posted that knew everything about the Slim, right down to the tiniest most impossible details. So everyone's assuming he's right about the EA thing. That they're basically blocking Sony from implementing cross game chat and in-game soundtracks because they can only get it to work on 95% of the backcatalogue, and some of the games that don't work are EA ones. They don't want their games to look inferior. I don't believe any of it, but Sony have to come out and make a comment. Even if this is true - the fanboys are just wrecking a relationship with EA right now. "
Although I hate to admit it he does look like a "reliable source". Seems he's working at Sony Japan. Hope we never find out who he is, because he'll lose his job in an instant. I don't know if Sony... CAN say anything at this point. It's a lose-lose situation. They can deny it, and lie, or admit it, and piss of EA even more. The most civilized solution would be for EA to swallow their superiority complex and let Sony put it out or better yet, work with Sony and put out a patch for their games if they're so angry about it. Of course everyone can just be all hush hush about it, people will forget about it someday.
I'm suprised that the SDF wants this so much. Hasn't it been they that have decried XBLA for having a bunch of prepubescent rascist homophobes shouting into the mic continuously during games? On top of that, they want people that aren't even playing the same game to be whining their earlobes dead? Just shows some blatant hypocracy is all. Not saying that everyone felt that way, but you can be sure some opinions changed.
" Rather than jump to conclusions, we decided to contact the two parties involved for comment on the situation. First to respond was Jeff Brown, EA's vice president of corporate communication. "Not no-how, not no-way did that ever happen. This is a total fabrication – total nonsense. We think voice chat is an extremely cool feature and added it to Madden/ PS3." Brown then added, "We support cross-game voice on other systems and would be happy to do that on any console."
Soon after Brown responded to our inquiry, Sony's senior director of corporate communications Patrick Seybold also responded, keeping things short and sweet. "This is rumor and frankly not true. " "
" Apparently the whole thing was a rumor and fake!

So denial then. Maybe it's fake, maybe they're just denying it... but if they are, maybe this will make them cooperate witch each other and pull this out. Well as far as we're concerned we just have to wait till 3.0 comes out and see what it offers.

Yeah, I was wondering if they just denying it, too. Could be :/
Well if the Spore community can get EA to be less dickish about the DRM maybe the Sony fanboys can do the same, cause god knows how crusader like console fanboys can be.
EDIT: I just saw a "EA your full of shit" post. Good thing I was not eating when I saw it X.X
Where were these anti EA console supporters when EA decided to not make games for the Dreamcast? And then when they eventually bought NFL exclusivity cause the games that were made for the Dreamcast instead were superior
Oh yeah, they were in diapers then.
Actually, it seems like a whole lot of the SDF still uses their pacifiers
Alright, so out of curiosity, what's the deal with this whole "EA cock blocking PS3" thing that everyone is talking about?
**EDIT* Nvm. I see what everyone is going on about. Regardless, I'm taking EA's side and saying that it's bullshit for the potential of cross-over voice chat to potentially break pre-existing back catalog games.

i wonder which ea games would have been "broken" if these rumors were true. the only one listed was harry potter. and the report didn't say that the games would be unplayable -- only that crosstalk and xmb wouldn't be supported. sucks that one company would keep a whole user base from a cool feature because a few people playing a few games couldn't do what everyone else did.
