I'm leaving that one just because it gives me something to laugh at. The comment with the racist remark has been deleted. Congrats on being the first comment we've ever manually deleted.

Last I checked you could play your WOW on Mac and many other games... Not to mention the fact that these commercials are infact paid for by Microsoft and no EA after further research. But I salute you sir, keep living in your dreamworld! @ CJ – PC games aren’t supported on any other operating system.

Alot of you guys are supporting Microsoft and saying that they did not give EA money. So my question is... are you ignorant fanboys? I mean come on, look at Microsoft, they always throw money at every problem. They have crappy Operating systems, buggy software, and faulty hardware. They only reason why I even have Windows is because thats the only OS PC games work on. If they worked for something else I would be using Linux. Microsoft is just like EA and Ubisoft. None of them make quality products and they are overpriced. I mean look at Battlefield 2, it wouldn't work on half of the computers until v1.2! TWO patches later. And no I am not a WoW addict, but look at Blizzard. Atleast they support thier products, they don't release the product untill it's how they want it to be. Even then they still upgrade it, StarCraft has been out for 10 years and they are still making patches for it and running B.Net. We need more companys like Blizzard and less like M$ and EA. The only reason why I buy Madden is becuase I LOVE football. But it could be so much better. I just hope someday more people realise the truth and do something about it.

Dont be surprised to see a few of these comments disapear as we wont condone this kind of behavior. We do not like censoring anyone here but we draw certian lines where racism or just plain out threats wont fly.

You have forgotten your PlayStation fathers. Cozy up with Microsoft, go ahead. Only 4 years ago you wouldn't even develop a Live game on the crap box but now you only put the effort into the crap box versions. Microsoft sickens many people simply because of their arrogance and shrewd business tactics. My God they have held up the computing industry for about a decade. Now they creating greedy partners in crime in the game industry. A sad time for all gamers. EA, curse you. You have forgotten your PlayStation fathers. Cozy up with Microsoft, go ahead.

WTF !! I am a gamer and want the best platform to get all the best games. thats why, i was a Xbox fanboy but turned into PS2 fanboy last generation war. Why? only because games that comes to PS2 platform and Xbox got nothing and late games and something no games !! Same things are going with X360 and PS3. Money power!! hah ! Sony invest on Cell processor and MS invest on Game Developers adn Publishers! So, now, cell is powerful(yet i haven't seen anything special) and game publisher on MS side. Simple math calculation. Don't need to find some fishy things from Commercial you ??? head!! I want to say a funny story: when Bioshock getting 9.6 or above rating from every review, Sony fanboys says we don't need it, it not that good or something like that! but today i heard that the games config.ini file got a information may point that its comimg to PS3 (may be next summer'08). Now they just shouting and bullshit talk to Xbox that how they got that game ! ha ha ! babies !!! Warhawk and Lair gets bad review and fanboys telling that the editor was Xbox magazine! then why they appoint him !!?? How many excuse u got people?? Final thought: PS3 will get treatment what original XBOX got last generation. BELIEVE IT OR NOT ! Sony fanboy can’t control themselves!! WTF !!

Cheaper next gen console ($279) would mean more consumers purchasing it, which would boost sales of their game which clearly runs better on the 360 (360 has better video hardware anyways its documented on Anandtech), has a much larger installed base (11 million, not to mention online capabilities and money from XBL marketplace) and even if their was kickbacks for EA, it is well documented that Sony has paid off game developers for years. The fact of the matter is that you are most likely a disgruntled Sony fanboy who spent a large sum of money on a console that will be obsolete because game devs like making money, and the PS3 is a failure.

Grafix is illiterate. Basis? Grafox states that the "xbox 360 fanboys" don't give an alternative explanation for the MS/EA payoff theory, and claims to want to hear what they say. I gave one, with neat little numbers next to one of my statements on it. Looks like geniusjc gave one too. But grafox can't read those, even though one of them was just 1 post ahead. Therefore, I conclude grafox is illiterate. But wait - grafox typed in a response. This implies literacy, so my theory is shot down. But wait - I know how to make the theory work. Grafox must have a little brother or sister. Thus, grafox clearly dictated the response to that sibling and had them type it in. That same sibling read the thread to grafox and missed or skipped the explanation parts (because they love the PS3) so grafox never knew about them. That's the reason! So my theory must be true after all! See what I mean? I’ve got a new theory. Grafix is illiterate.
