So for 30$ a year you can play the games a bit earlier and get 10% discount on games and DLC?

Someone said $5 for 4 games for 1 month vs $5 for 1 game for 4 hours. I think EA wins that battle.


Do you get those 4 games or 10% discount on them?

so exactly what ps+ started delivering years ago but with only 5% of the content for 60% of the cost.

i'll bet if i did a join on people reactions to this rental subscription service to that of ps+ the result would be major lulz.

I thought XOne was so bad that developers and publisher are going to stop supporting it by the end of this year.

Should I still trust those VGChart forum dwelers?


Xbox one is bad for Gamers not for developers as a Gaming machine compared to PS4. Nobody said Xbox one won't have developers support in future and you might have confused the Wii U name with Xbox one.

GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Seems like good value, I think they could've gotten away with charging $50 a year

No thanks, I will stick with steam sales... granted the prices are oddly too good, I dont really trust the company that I hate but for console owners... this is an awesome value

Depending on when this releases and if they give a decent game release schedule for it my XB1 purchase plan may move from 2015 to 2014.

You get the games. Its only 4 for now. The discount is for their new digital games and DLC. Seems like a way to give the finger to Gamestop which is awesome.

I'm pretty sure it's similar to PS+ and GWG: you get to play the games on offer as long as you remaind subscribed. Not 100% sure on that but I'm pretty positive on it though. You also get a 10% discount if you decide you want to buy the game at a later date.

This is how I am reading it as well.  Five bucks gets me access to whatever games they add to their "vault" and if I know I am going to be buying new games in series like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Battlefield, or <insert sports franchise here> then that essentially starts paying for portions of the subscription in savings itself.
