I heard Microsoft got into a deal with EA then gave them them once over somehow. I don't know the details but that's why I'm asking. Anyone know about it?

The basic conflict is that EA doesn't want to use Microsoft's network for Xbox Live since they've invested millions in an online infrastructure, and Microsoft wants to have EVERY online Xbox game played over the secure Xbox Live. Thus, neither side can reach an agreeable solution and EA's online stuff remains on PS2.
