Sorry if this was said before:

Perhaps Sony has finally got the message of working with third parties. While I, unfortunately have no news on the developmental side. It seems Sony has been partenering with EA recently in marketing third party games. Recent television commercials for NBA Live 08 and The Simpsons Game only have PlayStation branding, having the PS logo at the beginning of the commercial, only showing the PS products (PS2, PS3, PSP), and having the PS3 logo at the end of the commerical. This could be a good sign that Sony is not only beefing up its marketing for the PS3, but also working with 3rd parties to make the PS3 version of the game just as good, if not better than other versions.

Keep an eye out for the ads.

Yeah i think they do. when ever they talk about a Multiplatform game they always say PS3 first then the rest. Smart publisher to make buddy buddy with if you ask me.

I knew about the whole Simpsons thing before the ADs. It's marketed towards the PS3. EA isn't biased against their favorite company anyways. Look how fast they straightened out Moore. They need Sony to play catch up to the 360, or eventually Sony wont rival them. They'll just play in their own market (sort of what the Wii is doing).

I guess you'll have to see what unfolds.

My girlfreind noticed it before I did. She said "Playstation 3, huh? Hopefully thats a good sign." She's not a big gamer but I mentioned to her that there arehardly anyPS3 commercials and multi-plat games always say xbox 360 at the end. She's awesome.

I guess it's sort of like the 360 logo showing at the end of Madden and NHL08. I don't understand why EA just doesn't show half a screen with all the system logo's, unless Sony and MS are dumping a truck load of money onto EA for the logo's.

That's good news for Sony, but it's still EA.
