Will you guys be getting Activision and Ubisoft access. Both have already expressed interest to Microsoft.

I think the EA deal is good because honestly games like Madden and FIFA and NHL you just want around the case especially when friends are over, it's generally the go to game that guys want to play. I usually end up buying one version of FIFA/NHL/Madden every 2-3 years just to make sure there's a copy around the house mostly for occassions like that, so that service would work well for me.

Your 2 friends=Everyone deciding between a XB1 and a PS4

$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.

Haven't paid for any DLC ever and won't pay for EA access.

It will sell some consoles, sure.

That's just psplus for fifa/madden fans ...


So yeah system seller.

I have EA Access and dont play Fifa or Madden.

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?

From the definition of some people if it sells one console it is a system seller... so maybe this is as well...

The only publishers I would get this kind of deal (if enough games were there) would be Ninty and Sony... no 3rd party have enough games to make me sign.
