EA to go Xbox Live?

It looks like Electronic Arts will be jumping on the Xbox Live bandwagon after all...

While neither company was prepared to comment this morning, it looks as though Microsoft and EA have reached agreement over Xbox Live, with 'sources' revealing that a port of massively multiplayer war epic Battlefield 1942 will be the publishing giant's first title to support online Xbox play.

Battlefield 1942 hasn't been officially announced for Xbox but its strongly rumoured development virtually confirms an agreement. Better still, further sources indicate that EA's next generation of sports titles are also being developed with Xbox Live functionality.
