Sony was right, EA access is a rip-off and needs to flop

I've been saying this since day one. Anyone who thinks EA is going to give something for nothing is a fool. Buy your games people. If you don't, you'll regret what happens to this industry.

Ya know, people said the exact same thing when Netflix and Hulu took off. They saw it as the death of movie ownership.

Well, fast forward to today, and you can still buy all your movies and TV shows on Blu-Ray or digitally, Netflix is completely optional.

And EA isn't giving something for nothing. They are giving something for $30.

And you know what? Because of Netflix, you can no longer rent that brand new 007 the day it ships. Why? Because the rise of streaming killed video rental stores and thus, allowed for back door, corporate handshakes with greedy agendas.

Only an ignorant fool would support this non sense.

No need for personal attacks.

And you can still buy your media and sell it. I doubt that Netflix worked to make your renting impossible. After a week or two, you will be able to rent it anyway, your ability is still there.

This is like complaining that you can't rent the DVD the day the movie comes out in theaters. Of course full buyers will be given preference, but at least you'll still have the option of renting if you so wish.

I love digital media. If I'm an "ignorant fool" for doing so, so be it. I save money is the long run and have much more convenience, and that's all that matters to me.
