Just wanted to make anyone who is interested aware of this:

Basically, the guys over at Sarcasticgamer.com have gotten wind of EA's marketing strategy for Battlefield: Bad Company, and are pissed. Apparently, EA plans to sell additional guns for the game via XBLM. SG feels that this is exploiting the consumer, by making them pay more for things that should be in the game from the beginning.
IIRC, this is not the first time something like this has occurred. However, this is the first time such a massive boycott has been assembled (it's circling the blogosphere pretty heavily). For my part, I'm not quite as enthusiastic as the guys at Sarcastic Gamer, but I agree with their sentiments.
I think (well, I know actually) that CAG has a bigger fanbase than SG, and if fellow CAGs are on board, then I think we could throw some significant weight behind the boycott. So, there you go. Check the link for more information and a funny parody video about the situation.
