EA Access is a system seller.

How does saving $114 dollars the first day you sign up for EA Access not a good value?    The USED pricing (Gamestop) for all the titles you get in the Vault is $144.99..  USED.. not NEW..        and you pay $29.99 for one full year of access..   plus get 10% off new purchases ($5.00 savings each game) and FREE PREVIEW access to Games BEFORE they come out.. (for limited peiod)  ..        There was no Madden demo at all..  so it was "hidden"   EA Access got 6 hour free preview access before release.. there is a NHL 15 avilable to EVERYONE now..  nothing to do with EA ACCESS.  

People who keep saying it is not of VALUE seem to be confused as to what EA Access is.

$144 value if you don't have a brain and a PC.  Most people do and decided agains't EA access. 6 hr access is a DEMO and the demo was free in the past. It is a false value. 10% off new purchases? Who buys a game for regular MSRP? Again, people without a brain or PC. Bestbuy, Amazon, Target etc all offer better incentives for pre-ordering titles than 10% off. Most EA titles are $10/$15 after the first two weeks anyway. So once agian, theres NO VALUE in EA access

 

After a quick 2 minute search on Ebay, I can buy Madden 15 for $49.99 with free shipping. A better value.

I don't think you need to insult anyone interested in the service.

Secondly just because someone has a PC doesn't mean they'll use it to play/buy games on it. Who are "most people".

6h access of Madden wasn't a demo. It was the entire game that you could play for 6h to see if you liked the game or not. The entire game means the same game you get when you buy it not some gimped demo where you could only chose between 2 teams and had limited options. But of course you can choose to ignore these facts, it's pretty common around here to just pick parts of the info and deal with it anyway you want.

10% is nice, they didn't have to offer it yet they did. Why spit on it?

And frankly, I'm surprised how fierce some are towards EAA. 30$ for 5 games and more will be added during the year and it's bad and money sucking? What exactly do I have to pay after I paid the 30$ that will suck my money?
