Interesting indeed. I remember that video, slapped it at the end of one of my earlier video's.
Some interesting reads from the Interactive Dreams blog:

It would have been interesting to see what EA could/would have done w/CD-i technology. Their releases rocked on 3DO!

I agree! As enthusiastic as the EA guy sounded in that video, I wonder what the heck happened? Did Phillips and EA just not play well together, or did Phillips not send out enough dev. kits?? Something had to have happened, that's for sure.

.....and the comments people have made on that video sum up why so many of us want to take a sledgehammer to the Internet....
