EA Access is a huge bonus to XBone owners imo.

If I could pay $30 per year just for the new Fifa and a few other games then I'd take that in a heartbeat. It sucks that EA is skipping the PS4 with this, but I think it'll come somewhere down the line.

I think you misunderstand how EA acces works. You don't get the new games as part of the package. What you get is a backlog of EA games and discounts on every new purchase you make, be it games, dlc or even in game currency.

I am happy sony skipped on this, cause this is EA being EA. I give them points for trying, but all this really does is further fragment and already fragmented market. So what if activision decideds to do this, then 2K, then ubisoft. Before you know it we have gamers paying for upwards of 7 different subscriptions services. Why not just make whatever initiative hey are trying to do be part of PS+ and work out a deal with sony instead.

If you are a gamer that will only really buy EA games then fine, I just don't see how this is pro consumer at the end of the day.

They are offering Fifa 14 on there, and, as of now, it is still the latest offering. I am a "mellow" Fifa fan so even if it comes later (every year) then it'll hold tremendous value for me. Not to mention that  I'd, presumably, get to try NHL/NFL/NBA - which I've never really done due to a low interest in those games. Nevertheless, it will be a very novel experience to play all of those. What to mention of other games.

In short, I don't ever buy the new Fifa straight away, I usually buy 1 or 2 of them per gen, so this deal is very eye-catching indeed.
