    It's big, but nothing they have not done in the past before.

    Please less sensationalism in the title, they are cancelling old game servers which doesn't suprise me in the least since for most of those game there has been a replacement for quite a few months. I can't see how people expect to be supported forever, its like the complaints MS get when they cease support for a product (recently Windows 2000) and everyone, its 7 years old and no longer retails.

    But not everyone likes to be taken for a fool and buy every *Insert Sport* *Insert Year* titles, they'll buy one and stick with that for a few years until there is a really good reason to buy a sequel. The 06 titles aren't really all that old, and not many other companies drop the online support for their console game, well, for xbox live at least, apart from EA games, I think pretty much every game can still be played online still, no matter how old it is.
