Soo EA announces they are getting rid of Online Passes but then Microsoft introduce a beefed up version of it and restricts the entire game?

Was this their plan all along?

@somatzu Source?

- EA removes Online Passes

- MS adds their own Online Pass system but instead of restricting Multiplayer, they restrict the entire game.

Beefed up Online Pass system?

@WantYouBad @Ice-Cube @joke_man @30NIGHTCRAWLER3 Right, it's a TV box.

@joke_man @WantYouBad @30NIGHTCRAWLER3 They literally barely talked about games. Yea E3 is coming but they should have really used this opportunity to showcase the heart of the Xbox, GAMES! I don't want this turning into a Wii where it's all about Fitness, TV and Movies.

@xxxxTRISTAMxxxx You said it best.

@J_Dangerously Did you just reply to yourself?

They're trying too hard fitting everything into one console, when they should stick with the basics. Games

As others said, it's an entertainment unit, rather than a gaming unit. I honestly thought it would be geared more towards games than television.

@renegadetiger Although they talked a lot about television, they really should have focused on games. I do see that it is about the hardware, but really...the games is where it's at.

NFL partnership...Halo action series...Netflix, Oh and Price is Right.
