Sony: EA Access Doesn't "Represent Good Value To The PlayStation Gamer"

I am just talking about VALUE.  Actually. Both services are in BETA.. So nothing is set in stone. But the fact is .. RIGHT NOW at this very moment a better VALUE option is EA Access.

While PS Now is in BETA it will CHARGE me those prices to use the service right now.  All I was talking about is VALUE.

I am not even comparing the two services. As they are TWO very different things. Just the VALUE of it all. As that was what SONY responded with. That it did not offer "VALUE for gamers". 

how is that value when you are paying to play a limited amount of new gen games only from EA and they are not even new titles, mind you?  PsNow will be offering a catalog of older games now playable on new gen.. and not just on your ps4 but other Sony devices.. that's quite a value for those who didn't have a ps3/ps2 all last gen.. or for those who won't be buying a new gen console at all, but would still love to play those games.  there's a difference in what they both are offering.

How is it value? Because if you did not purchase these games each of them would ALONE cost $15-$45 even USED. Even if it was just these 4 games the WHOLE year and you purchased them for $15 each.. that is $60. HALF of the $30/yr price. They said they will be adding more titles to the vault, so the value will inscrease. Also .. You get 10% off all EA games..  buy 3 games.. that saved you $18..      there any many ways this offers VALUE and it only increases. If you purchased the games then yes.. you do lose some value. 

 

PS Now. So..  While there is VALUE in it..   You are going to be paying again to play games you may have purchased already. The only benefit is you can play these games on your new PS4.. In what will NOT be as good of an experience as if you played it on your PS3. Did you throw away your PS3 when you purchased the PS4? Mine sit right next to eachother.  So to then try a game I didn't play on my PS3 or buy before..  it costs $4.99 for 4 hours.    Also you brought up the other devices.. each has issues dealing with PS Now.. (Tablets, PS Vita, Sony TVs). We have yet to see the service up and running on anything besides a PS4 and PS3.   I see VALUE in PS Now as a subscribtion service. Not saying the hourly prices shouldnt be an option for those who dont want a monthly fee, but unless there is a subscroption option then the value proposition is very low. Much easier to just play on my PS3.  I love the idea of all PS Now can do. Just needs a better pricing structure. I feel the EA Access pricing stucture is very fair.. and offered better value currently.

EA Access option is to pay more money to buy these games used, not get discounts on titles and DLC, and not early access to new titles.   If EA titles (year old ones) don't interest you.. then sure.. no value..     but at least in general for a gamer who plays these titles, there is a huge value proposition with EA Access.
