Are you suggesting people who dont have something cannot have an opinion? Are you saying I need to have a subscription service to know if I like the idea of it or not. I am technically knowledagble and a pretty heavy gamer, I think I can work out if the games they are offering and the service they have are what I want... or are you saying you were incapable of knowing if it was something you wanted until you purchased one... Your opinion is subjective.... not objective.

Of course you can have your opinion. But the fact that you dont have personal experience with it makes your opinion mostly subjective. Just like ppl who have never been to China making absurd comments about it yet all they know are some stupid news from online/paper media. Users on this site proved me right numerous times. So yes its my subjective opinion is that ppl without actual experience on something will probably make their subjective opinion no matter how they claim they have fully researched it. Funny enough, I stand correct most of the time.

But you are making your opinion based on how you buy or not buy games. You are making a decision on a service based on *your* own buying preferences... not mine. This is why your argument is flawed.

I don't need personal experience because it's a service...doh. It's not something I need experience because it's as clear as day what it offers. If you were talking about Papa Johns Pizza, If I dont like pizza then I can make an assumption that I wont like Papa Johns Pizza.... but that's not whats being offered here. I like Pizza but Papa Johns is telling me i can have all these extra toppings for $... but I know that I dont want those toppings... See it's really easy to see that a service is not the same as a product.... I can make assumptions because they tell me what the service offers.... it's not difficult to see the big difference here.

Just to add more to my argument....here are the things they offer and why I dont need them:

The Vault... Get games some time after they release: I buy many games day 1. I own Battlefield, Need for speed, Dragon age... I own FIFA... I dont need to get FIFA every year... this has no impact on me because I buy my games. For other games I have PS+. I have hundreds of different games, I am not short of games. I collect games.

Play for less - save 10%: I am not short of money, also digital prices are usually more expensive than boxed products. I dont buy that many DLC/Expansions (see that I have hundreds of games).

Play First - I have hundreds of games, did I tell you that. I dont want to play a game before I get the box, because I am a collector, a few days before release, I dont care for it, because I dont want to have to download the data to my console.. because did I mention i have lots of games and I run out of space on my consoles regulary. 

EA - Mostly Sports games - I dont care for sports games that much, I own FIFA 14 and N2K Basket ball but they were Next Gen purchases. Most of my games 99.9% are not sports games.

So If i was to look through the vault.... I own 4 of the games, and I dont care much for Peggle, NBA Live or Titanfall. So perhaps you can now see why I ( and probably many other people who play lots of games) dont care for EA access.
