I've got a 360, so I'll be getting it anyway. But they've got it for every platform including DS! I know Piracy is an issue, but thats just plain stupid.

Does anyone know about thier other 09 games. Are they also excluding the PC? The only sport games I like the play are Fifa and Madden.

The US isn't big on PC gaming and American Football isnt popular outside the US.

EA confirmed here it's because of Piracy

lol, it's being released on the psp, the biggest piracy system this gen besides PC....

The psp has so much piracy that every single person I've seen with a psp has illegal games on it, emulated old games, and hacks to download released games free...and they're releasing it on psp, but not PC, what does that tell you about PC pirating?

You guys must not know how many people have illegal stuff on their psps, you people really don't know, in all my years of seeings psp's ever since they've been released every single one of them had something illegal on them, just a few weeks ago at gym in school I saw a psp with 7 or 10 illegal games on it downloaded that are just released and cost like 50 dollars...

But yet, they're developing for the psp, and not the pc, that tells you something about pirating on pc, and how how horrible it is, also, Madden isn't the only game not coming on PC, along with GTA4, and Crytek soon enough confirmed they won't be making exclusives for pc anymore, and for every game sold there was 15 to 20 people pirating a copy....

Agreed, no one outside the USA like American football, most of us hate it, it's mainly football (real football) and rugby (a proper contact sport) over here, American Football games just don't sell.
