But you guys are right. It's a couple months away and plenty of time still to get info.

If anything is a consolation, seeing the vidoes early before didn't help lol.

Regardless, as others have said, videos will be popping up from media outlets very soon. Not a huge deal

Only once in 06, I just really wanted to see the PS3. I was working at best buy at the time and that was enough to get me in.

You're right, we'll eventually get vids rolling out but the point is it's very lame & anticlimactic for EA to pull the rug from under us right when they know people are anxiously awaiting footage. If they're that concerned about getting criticism early then how about just don't show the game at all at E3. Just wait til August to start rolling out vids. Either way it's not a good look for EA to put restrictions because it's screams lack of confidence which is not the perception they should want. If the game was in alpha build or more than 6 months away then I would understand, but we're about 2 months away from release so what's the problem? And they wonder why they get so much slack from gamers?

By sun I mean videos.

It's not just EA its gaming in general. It's becoming less and less about games and gamers. And more and more about simply making money. Not a fan personally.

Sorry but since when was it never about making money? When were they giving out video games for free? I understand your sentiment but I think you're stretching it a bit. Like the people who said Sony cares about the gamers but MS just wants money during last years E3 craziness.

Sadly, most things are simply about making money. The NFL itself is.

It's a video game, not footage of the shooter on the grassy knoll.

My prediction. After the ign madden breakdown tomorrow video recording will be allowed. I'm guessing they were granted exclusive first gameplay.

Unless someone is real sneaky with their camera skills.
