But Sony Gamers don't want EA Access.  Didn't you hear?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/07/30/sony-turned-down-ea-access-for-playstation/

But PlayStation Now, well, that's totally different.


exactly, its totally different, so why bring it up?

You know, how like Ice Cream and Sherbert are totally different.

Even better if you get to pay more for game you might already own.

 

If you don't know what you're talking about then maybe you should just stop typing.

Sarcastic - marked by or given to using irony



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Can't say I laugh at this desperate attempt of marketing. Meanwhile Sony's Star Wars PS4 Bundle is almost at 1M views while he only has 64K views. Really sad. No word of mouth.

I'm well aware that you're being sarcastic. I was talking about the desperate attempt of selling EA Access and PS Now as something equal.

Well, EA Access is like $30 usd a year and has a few recent well like games with unlimited play on one platform; plus a discount on other EA games.  PS Now is like $180 USD a year and has a whole bunch more games for unlimited play.  Or with PS Now you can pick and chose for much less, and it's available on several platforms. 

They aren't equal, one has more games, but cost a whole bunch more for unlimited play.  In the way they are the same is that they are both rental services.  And the speculation that EA Access is not on the PS4 is that it would compete with PS Now.

But relevant to this thread, the bonus to have EA Access will allow you to play Star Wars Battlefront first on an Xbox One on Nov 17 or 19, 2015 (I've seen both dates...) 

So if you have it you get to 'Pew, pew, pew' first.

what does sony have to do with this? why are you so hell bent on bringing them into this discussion? and how am i over reacting by simply saying the video is horrible? 

im "using my head" just fine. another subscribtion for games on PS4 isnt needed. 

Why am I bringing Sony into this discusion? I guess you don't understand the video.

For $30 a year, its a cheap subscription. That's cheaper than 2 months of PS Now's subscription. Again, I'm a fan of letting consumers decide. Not letting Sony decide what's a good value. They are the same people that think a God of War III Remaster untouched for $40 is a good value.


I remember how much of consumer decision you were when MS was limiting consumer decision.

I don't get it.

Also, that was very much how I would imagine a Tyrannosaurus Rex would use a light saber.


he certainly isn't very dexterous.

LOL, that made him and the video even funnier and made me forget what a douche he is  when he's in a nasty mood (or more probably when his former chief Ballmer was  ).
 Anyway, considering how many big games are released bugged nowadays, early access could mean MS takes most of the shitstorm, while Sony gets bundle, TV ads and possibly either an already debugged and shit-free version, or a minor shitstorm with day-0 or day-1 patch.


Making himself look like an idiot certainly helps making me laughing more at the video.

Just watch SW: New Hope again and see how dexterous Obi-Wan and Vader are. Major Nelson nailed it 😎

I'm not sure what youre saying.

I'll just say I wasnt happy with decisions MS was making with X1 early on.
