They tried to take a page from Sony's playbook. I don't have to remind you that Sony talked up how they always care about gamers and all that stuff at their conference on Monday, but anyone with some long term memory remembers the PS3 that was a means to get Blu-ray in people's homes and make gamers a second job.

The reason why such PR doesn't work for EA is because they really don't have any fans that are eager to gobble it up. Or fans, period.

Well... haters said PS3 was only a Bly-ray player... Sony ifself always sold it focusing in games.

Sony always puts games in first place.

EA is the least trustworthy company in the entire gaming industry. I can't think of anyone else that would even come close.

Loads of wriggle room in those words. They'll be imposing some sort of control. I hope Sony is really true to its word and requires 3rd parties to make offline SP totally free from used game DRM. Sony will probably allow 3rd parties open slather on any online component, be it SP online stuff or MP online.

Are they implying that It was Microsoft that is pushing the DRM policy?

Come on, as an early adopter I can tell you that those early year was certainly desperate time for actual gamers, the meme 'PS3 has no game' were pretty apt and before Metal Gear Solid 4, the PS3 had no exclusive that could really be named 'system seller'. Sony doing the right things now doesn't give them a free pass at past sins. Lets just hope that they learn from their lesson.

One could even say the problem is so, so small, that one would say it's "unprecedented".
