The only reasons EA has given are whines about the integrated interface X-Box Live will have for all of its games... They wanted to do their own thing...
Sounds like a bunch of bull... Sony paying off EA in some way or another sounds more plausible...

I don't think Sony paid EA for exclusivity. When EA announced that they wouldn't be supporting XBox Live, they only mentioned that it was because they couldn't come to an agreement with MS.
As agrall mentioned, the rumors are that the actual disagreement was over the fact that MS is insisting that the portal to all online games must run through their XBox live portal. It's possible that there are other issues that are the real reason, but I this would be reason enough for many companies.
