Among those titles affected are several of the publisher’s ’06 sports titles - including FIFA, Madden, and Tiger Woods - and an assortment of Burnout and Need for Speed numbers.

    '06 titles? Come on you freakin cheapskates. Just buy the damn '07 and soon to be released '08 titles if you wanna keep playing online. This is hardly a big deal.
