Sports video game giant EA has announced that some of its older titles will have its online servers shut down pretty soon. On February 2, 2009 titles on Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and PC, will no longer have dedicated online servers. For those of you who think that it's unfair it gets better. Titles as recent as their 2009 iterations will be shut down as well. It seems as if this may be a ploy to get you even harder to buy the most recent title every year, but it's just my hunch. Here is the list of titles:

UEFA Champions League 07 PC and x360

Facebreaker x360 and PS3

Fantasy Football 09 x360 and PS3

FIFA 07 PSP, PS2, PC

Fight Night Round 3 PS2

So... what were we paying Xbox Live for again?
