Electronic Arts has revealed its latest financial numbers, this time for the time period between October 1 and December 31, 2010. EA's press release stated the publisher brought in $1.410 billion in revenues, which is slightly higher than the $1.346 billion in revenues it had for the same period a year ago. However the company posted a net lost of $322 million for the quarter which was much higher than the loss of $82 million for the same period a year ago.

EA's biggest two game releases for the last quarter, the first person shooter Medal of Honor and the racing game Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, each sold over five million copies so far, according to the press release. EA also announced plans to buy back $600 million of its stock over the next 18 months. The publisher will be holding its quarterly conference call with investors at 5 pm.

Electronic Arts, the game publisher that in December bought the web site domain CampaignForPCGaming.com, is once again treating the PC platform as a second class citizen when it comes to multi-platform games. This week, even as Dead Space 2 is released, EA announced that the game will be getting a single player DLC mini-expansion, Dead Space 2 Severed, sometime in the near future

While is great, except that the DLC is strickly for Xbox 360 and PS3 owners of the game. VG247.com reports that EA won't be bringing that DLC content for the PC version. It's a case of "same old-same old" for EA who has denied PC owners a chance to demo games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm and most recently Crysis 2. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit PC owners also won't be able to access any paid DLC content for that game.
