soon they'll sell you an empty box with a single sheet of paper saying:
"thank you for purchasing this game box, please proceed to EA online to download the game that didnt come in the box, have your credit card ready, operators are standing by to place your order. All calls $4.99/minute"
I'm getting tired of saying **** you EA
Kotaku said:How fast can EA race to the bottom of the dung pile? Coming right off an opening salvo trying to establish themselves as the scumbag kings of microcontent by way of selling cheat codes or in-game money as Marketplace downloads, EA are now selling tutorials over Xbox Live, rebranding them "video strategy guides."
The videos are hundreds of megs, and cost about 2 bucks each. EA is currently selling the tutorial vids for the games Madden NFL 07 and NCAA 07 Football. By common report, they aren't helpful in the slightest: you'd get better tips downloading the strategy guide off of GameFAQs

Hopefully we're all smart enough to go to the internet and find a free tutorial! Joystiq reports that the video is huge (246MB) and not very helpful at all. Tutorials have traditionally been included in games and that is how it should be.
