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. |
This kind of logic reminds me of companies calling you and telling you you won a voucher for something you don't need or want in the first place. Unless someone likes every single game in the vault, but magically never managed to buy or play any of them, you most certainly don't save anywhere close to that. Also, I don't who's done the math, but I doubt $114 is an accurate number. I mean, how do you calculate this in the first place? Are these the cheapest second hand copies in America? Does everyone go to Gamestop to buy games? Aren't there any better deals for new copies (in the UK it's extremely common for new copies to be cheaper than used games).
And yes, Madden wasn't a demo, but it was closer to a demo than anything else. PS+ has something similar offers (full game trials).
I find it kind of hard to defend the logic that you save that much. I have ps+ and despite sony's claims that I'm saving X amount of money, I know that it's far less than that, since I'm only interested in some of the games offererd and already own several of the ones they offer.
