The title of this article is an outright lie. EA doe not care at all about the consumers that buy their games, least of all the hardcore ones. If they did, they would not release buggy, incomplete games that do not play well or accurately simulate they sport they represent. Furthermore, if they "cared about hardcore gamers" they would not annually release games that are polished up versions of the previous years game, prolonging the problems in the games listed above.

Uh, i think you can still run audio out to your 5.1 via analog or optical using the dongle. Plus most TVs Ive seen with HDMI in, have an optical audio out. however, I am willing to be the lower end TVs loose some audio quality in splitting optical from HDMI and sending it out.
buy a tv w/ HDMI 1.3? 1080p? 47"? And what do those of us without six figure job buy?
The guy actually comes off as a MS supporter, watch the clip. He mentions the 3 year warranty and somewhat shies away from the word recall that good old Al is trying to push. He NEVER says to stay away from the 360, or wait for a better product.
Is this years version going to make me break two controllers like last year's poor excuse for a release?
P.S. OSU #2? Please. Getting skunked in two BSC championships should knock you down to at least #5. I am a huge OSU fan, but we really should not be ranked that high.
