This can't be right, can it? Electronic Arts and ESPN will be charging us to view their latest trailer for Madden '07 . For the first time in video games history the company are setting the ball rolling for future publishers to pick our pockets just to grab a behind the scenes look at their latest games.

In a move that displays pure greed and arrogance, you'll be charged $19.95 for an hour long behind the scenes look at the American Football game,

Thanks EA for charging us to watch a marketing video showcasing a game that you want us to buy. Disgusting! The sad thing is you just know that people will pay.

We would like to point up that we do not know who will profit from this move. We'd assume it's EA and ESPN, but there may be another cackling villain behind the scenes.

EA Are TOOO damn greedy. The greediest corporate company I've ever witnessed. Yeah I understand server fee's and such but no other game devs/publishers do that, and every other company is far smaller than EA's.
$19.95?

You're taking the p i double s, surely?
no chance and shame on anyone willing to waste 20$ buying it
Can't believe that there's plenty of people already who are saying that they'll fork out the cash. What are they thinking?
i dont see many people chomping at the bit to get this one. Theres not exactly a torrent of people praising it… :\
