Game is due to land Thursday (presumably US time).

10 hours total early play available. You can spend all of it in Multiplayer or Single Player (or a mix).

Note, limited number of early missions available in single player (though you can replay them), but your progress will carry over if you buy the game.

So...no?

I'll just hang out on my own then!

LOL I have Access but I'm currently playing through ME3 for the 1st time. Also have a huge backlog I'm working through so I don't want to buy any new games SAD FACE

Fair enough. I am so excited.

Do you know if you can pre-load games using EA:Access without buying the pre-order?

If not, day one of the trial will just be me downloading the game

I'm pretty sure you can Starcraft. I've been downloading EA games demo without pre-order with EA Access.

I let my ea access expire... Reconsidering... I know once I get andromeda, my social life will cease to exist for a while.

Yup. Will be playing on Friday.

All of the previews (many reviewers have already played the first 5 hours and are starting to play the full game) are saying that its enormous, and so far they haven't found any of the side quests to be 'filler.'

I have EA Access. I want ME for Xbox One but I'm sure it'll be better on PS4. I'm really torn. I have the rest on Xbox. Then again, I have a $15 credit on PSN.

And even worse, all I want to play is Zelda.

Awesome. I will try and pre-load tonight!
