Supposedly back in talks and hopeful of getting something sorted, which is amazing news. Now all we need is Sega to follow suit and get some of their sports titles on Live too - there hasn't been a better on-line sports title than NFL2K2 on the Dreamcast, and that was with 56k and American servers.

Though if it were anything like Frontline's split-screen multiplayer, it'd be about as much fun as punching Nomino in the face

If Allied Assaults multiplayer is anything to go by, then I expect it to be about as much fun as punching yourself in the face.

I like SSX3 - never played Amped 2 though, mainly because Amped 1 didn't appeal to me.

Rainbow Six 3 is much better than SOCOM - single player anyway. Haven't had the opportunity to go Online as I have a US Xbox. Might see if I can pick up a cheap 2nd hand UK box since there are so many LIVE games now!

It is pretty damn good, but there just ain't that many games available for it yet. SOCOM is still the best - despite the cheats! Roll on SOCOM 2!

I'm buying an xbox, for live mainly, and EA don't factor in that nor do SEGA.

And why do you people slate SSX 3? It is great. Owning a PS 2 and having it online, I can say that 2 player isn't exactly a factor.

And I think your going to reply by saying Amped 2 is better, in some aspects yes, but from the videos I saw last night, it seems a bit too plain for my liking. SSx 3 has the colours, the weather hazrds, the differnt events, such as Half pipe and Big Air events.

If you want to play EA games online, such as fifa and SSx 3, not forgetting MOH:RS, then go buy yourself a PS 2.

Anyway, moan is over, what was I going to say??? lol

Oh yeah, the reason I'm buying a xbox for christmas is because it has the games like Counter Strike and Halo 2, Project Gotham 2, Doom 3 and rainbow 6 (supposedly great and from the advert I saw last night it looks like another socom type game).

I want another socom type game because Socom has too many cheaters now, and apparently cheats are a lot less common on Live. I will be buying online games for the PS 2 though, such as Socom 2 and Gran tourismo 4 though, simply because I like the games.

Why can't you people just stop slating the PS 2 online? It is not bad, it's pretty god damn good.

Sorry for the sheer amount of typos, hell I've just woken up.

EA have said themselves they are in talk with MS, so expect some announcement early next year about a development between the 2.

It isn't just about some of the more boring EA games.

EA are a big draw with their FIFA titles etc, and if they support Live then it might encourage a few more people to get Xboxes and Live. Now sure, most of those people will likely not be worth having on live, but if some are decent gamers, and if they help pay for the Xbox's existance then it is a good thing.

Plus it also opens up the possibility of Live Medal Of Honour. Now that would be a good thing.

EA are also the owners of Westwood, the people behind Command & Conquer. Now I like my strategy games and I would like to see an Xbox C&C with Live support.

It would be for the greater good of Xbox Live if EA were on board.
