EA Access for Xbox One: Play EA Games Up to Five Days Before the Release Date

I wish this would launch already. Want to play some FIFA.

Besides Madden, it would be nice for EA to revamp some older games, like Desert Strike.

I was going to go with the 4 buck deal, but if I like it and decided to go with the complete deal, I'll end up paying $35 instead of the initial $30 deal

It would be a good deal if EA actually made any games I wanted to play.

I would love invite to the preview program. Can someone hook me up please? GT: Lp Leviticus

It's a little disappointing that Sony passed on it since I would have bought it just to play the games 5 days early. Since Sony turned them down do you think it will cause any bad feelings between the two companies?

Actually you get to keep your games for gold on the xbox,just not on PS plus.

I wonder if people realize that on the $30 sub it will take you 5 digital games with the 10% discount to recoup the subscription cost. Do many of you actually buy 5 EA games every year?

Say you buy only 3 games while youre sub is active. You save $18 from the discounts but theres still $12 on the table that you have to decide whether or not is worth it for the early trial/vault games. How often will games be added to the vault? Look at Titanfall, how long before that is added? Or Dragon Age Inquisition. Are people fine with waiting 6+ months before a new game is added to the vault? Will you really be fine with having access to year old sports games some of which youve already purchased the updated version?

What happens when other publishers begin doing this and try to lock content like story missions and map packs behind their specific subscription? People say that is just fear mongering, but look at where the industry has gone with DLC/Microtransactions and even retailer specific DLC. Do we really want to have to pay subscription on top of subscription on top of subscription to access content not available elsewhere? I for one, really hope this doesnt take off.

The only sport game I buy on launch day is NHL. So it's worth it for me. 30 bucks a year is not much at all. I'll buy in and see where this vault thing goes. Can always just get rid of it.
