    they did last year. Since signing the agreement with EA will they still be part of the XBOX live grouping?

    Absolutley. EA's agreement with XBOX does not exclude other vendors from releasing Live-related games. I believe MS dropped their in-house sports products because they couldn't hang with the Sega and EA line. Besides it makes good business sense for MS to allow as many online gaming options as possible since they make all the profits from the Live subscriptions.

    July 20th is the exact date, which would in fact, be 3 weeks. Rosters are a moot point since both games support online play on both systems. If you don't have xbox live, you can pick up an action replay device and download the official rosters from various gaming websites.

    Why would ESPN suddenly drop xbox live? EA joining in with XBL finally certainly doesn't imply exclusivity. I guess since MS has XBL support for Project Gotham Racing 2 that no other company can make a racing game with XBL support? Get real, dude. MS will give the SDK and tools to any developer that wants to add XBL support to any game, if that developer agrees to the terms. That's what took EA so long, they didn't agree to MS's terms, and they had to work out a special agreement, which is good for everyone involved. Xbox Live is a great service, and no matter what anyone wants to say about EA just rehashing the same old games, they do make great games.

    The store i went to has a used Xbox for $99 with a controller and a game or two. The game itself comes with 2 free months of XBLive.

    So $120 and you're GTG.
