Did you have premium?

Gaming in consoles is already DRM. So digital purchase in consoles is DRM over DRM. I only buy retail copies in consoles and will continue to do so.

This generation I went full digital on PS4 and am enjoying it enormously.
First, I can get my games sooner, no need to go to the store or wait for deliveries, I can get them almost 20% cheaper than retail, no need to take care of my discs or store them, the convenience of playing games by just pressing x, the ability to trade games with friends not living nearby, the ability to resell my games at a better price than retail discs and without additional postage costs.
There are just so many advantages with little or no drawbacks, I just cannot imagine anyone beside avid collectors actually wanting to purchase a disc...

All of this is just hateful statements toward EA Access but it is only your oppinion at the end. The success of EA Access shows that a lot of people to not have the same oppinion about the service, including myself.

People are extremely stupid.

So we pay them for a markdown on digital products, products that should already be marked down due to their drasticly reduced production costs.

We pay them to play a game that's already completed earlier, or they penalize people who don't want to pay for their shitty service by delaying the game a little.

Remember when they FLAT OUT LIED about 6 hour full game trials?

All that's really left is the vault, which is inferior to every other subscription service's free games feature, and actually takes away from things like PS+.

Wonderful f*cking service. And stupid people sit their and praise them for sucking a few more dollars out of them because they get to feel like they're in the cool people club, with their commemorative dunce caps.

The only thing I "hate" about it right now is the fact that in NA for instance you have to wait until 3AM on the Eastern Coast (Midnight PST) to be able to play. In reality the game is usually available around 1AM but still, I hope they'll change that eventually for Midnight EST instead of PST.

But yah, I agree. So many advantages. For me the most important one is that I have 2 consoles at home and my kids (4) can play my games on the other console without the need to borrow the disc (and have a lot of chance to have them destroying the DVD eventually making rendering the game unplayable). Same goes for the movies, I have 2 Xbox Ones, 2 Xbox 360, 2 Surface, 1 Windows Phone and many PC. I can watch all my movies and TV shows from any devices without caring about anything. It is awesome.

The kbps of a premium streaming account for Spotify is 320. The kbps of an actual physical record is 1411. That, my friend, is a significant difference.

The entire world can stream music for all I care. As long as they still sell real albums on vinyl and/or CD, that's the route I'm taking.

digital is far more convenient for handhelds as you wouldnt need to carry your games around with you.

Well last gen people were complaining that 1-2 GB games will take hours to download including some on this forum...  Oh well I don't mind myself downloading games except for HD getting full :).

This. That's why I like DRM-free physical, but  there's a digital too I actually like, gog.com.
