This was reported on numerous sites. They specifically mention how great the PS3 version looks which was at least 18 months away from release at the time of the statement. Of course it is me who is "trying too hard"

Do you have an official quote from EA? That wasn't even a direct quote of what the person said! It was a presentation given at a University, not an official pr public statment directly from EA. That could have been the opinion of the presentator, he could have been interpreted differently, who knows, but I'm looking for an official statement (not one heresay comment) released to public or press (which currently doesn't exsist).

As someone considering buying a Xbox 360, the fact EA would publically mention how great the PS3 version will look is cause to raise an eyebrow. Will EA continue to be in bed with Sony? Will EA castrate their Xbox360 Live titles again?

Still trying to hard to read into what is in front of you... Did you even consider that perhaps they weren't allowed to even mention the Xbox 2 with it coming so soon? Did you even think that someone may have asked a question about PS3 and the presentator said, "it will look amazing" in reply? Who the heck knows! You certainly don't know what context any statment at that presentation was given in.

I believe the R500 will compete nicely with the PS3 GPU, but the fact EA would mention how great a *specific* version looks, 18mo out, should give one a moment to pause. They could have said "next gen". Instead they specifically cited the PS3. Also, I guess when all the developers say, "We are going to show next gen footage" and in small print say, "Well, it actually is not next gen footage... it is an artists rendition, and it may or may not look similar" we should just nod our heads and say "yep, next gen footage". The issue never was if others show FMV (or if that is right or wrong). The issue was EA telling the press (and website visitors) they would be showing footage of the next gen Madden, and for those who showed up to their press showing they sheepishly disclosed it was not next gen footage at all, just artist concept art. i.e. Great publicity, but no actual "next gen" substance.

God! quit your crying already. Madden 06 is coming out for xbox 2. Xbox 2 is the lead platform for thier next gen titles, as was comminucated to me by a trustful source. Anyway, I think you're reading too much into this video and what we've seen up until this point. You're just wildly speculating/complaining.
