Perhaps it is impossible to achieve these goals, but never the less, these are the ideals to aspire to. I just like their philosophy and I think it will pay big dividends in 10 and in years to come. They saw how well it worked with FIFA... "If you build it, they will come." I know I'm romanticising, but bottom line... they make a good game, people will buy it, people will evangelize it, more people will buy it, EA will make more money. Everyone's happy. We get a great product, they get money in the coffers. I mean no disrespect people who have worked on Live on the years before, I'm sure they worked their butts off. It is the design decisions further up I wish to applaud. Of course we'll have to wait to see if this game fulfills it's promise, but at this stage it is looking very good. JL

agreed
