I need to know this. Production for the PSX is supposed to end soon, correct?

If so, anyone know of the plans for the EA line of sports games? I'd like to pick up the LAST year they are made for the console (to get the most up to date version, technology and feature wise). Is the 2004 line supposed to be the last? MADDEN 2004 just came out. Are NHL 2004 and NBA LIVE 2004 supposed to be due out for release soon also? Same for the NASCAR game and TRIPLE PLAY game, but I question these two myself, as they aren't fall released games normally. Either way, last year titles probably won't be on shelves long, so I want to pick them up.


Other question, the 989 Sports games are the Sony-made games, correct? If so, what's the final release years for these? 2004, 2003? I've never played a NHL Faceoff or anything like that before
