By using an EA game over Xbox Live, you are automatically creating an 'EA Online' account and granting Electronic Arts the ability to collect your name, address, and credit card information, as well as a variety of demographic information about how you use their products. Not only that, they explicitly say that they may tie these demographics to your personal information
The quote is from Slashdot and sums up this stupid atrocious imbecilic intrusive and obnoxious policy. Fortunately for me I do not own an Xbox or play EA games, but I thought there might be someone on the forum that ought to know about it.

Why do you care? Nobody must accept those terms... they just shouldn't play EA games Xbox Live and everything is fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Of course many will agree with the terms because they don't care indeed if they give away their rights... it was the same with Half Life 2. The terms for playing that game legally were ridiculous... but people still bought it and agreed with anything. I guess the people get what they deserve. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />
