You have to pay to play.. Did I miss something??


Now in these neck of the woods Madden on the XBox 360 is like immunization shots, if you're not up to date, you put yourself at risk for severe illness. So with that said let me take this time to let all my readers know that this is more than "just a regualr video game", its a movement. From fantasy football, to online video games, or playing against opponents who could very well be halfway across the world [thru the XBox Live feature], the gaming industry is at an all time high with no signs of slowing down. It seems like the great folks over at EA Sports agree, and felt it necessary to capitalize in EVERY way, shape, and form. So for my 2010 gamers, beware, the reatail price of $59.99 is just the begininng of what you will have to pay in order to enjoy ALL of the game's new features. Although this will not have any effect on when or how often you can catch me with the controller in my hand it does force me to think: How far will these multi-billion dollar corporations go for a dollar??

I know we're in a recession but DAMN!
