EA Access Subscription Service Announced for Xbox One

Damage controlling EA luring dumbass lemmings into its overpriced digital games system by offering year-old sports games and two hour total demos? Yeah, sure. If anything this cancerous garbage is perfect for the Shitbox Done.

Simon is a more fitting name for you.

Why are you so hell-bent on hating this initiative? I bet if it was on PS4 you'd praise it to high heavens.

Oh Simon, I love Simon..............Especially the big Yellow button!

Anywho, cows are jumping ship left and right. What GodSoft is offering is far more than Sony. Maybe you should consider that these offers are just gonna keep coming and Sony will be left with just Resogun and saying "Greatness is still coming".

I will help you get your Xbox Live account set up and pic out a really cool GamerTag like Ladysman217. We can explore caves in Destiny and play the MasterChief Collection co-op. The possibilities are endless my friend.

What this is. It is kinda like a direct response to PSN Now. But WAY cheaper!!!!!!!!! $5 a month vs. $5 for a hour..............hmmm. PSN Now just became obsolete and irrelevant.

Sorry Sony but it seems like you did better just copying companies. Every time you think you have a good Idea..............it just gets shit on.

EA's shit could be on the Atari Jaguar and I'd still hope for it to fail.

In your delusional mind, Justin. Just 24 hours left to Xbone to flop in another NPD.

What else is it, other than giving EA an opportunity to offload their crap nearing its best before date and luring in people with duff discounts?

Now and EA Access are two completely different things. Be intellectually honest and compare it to XBLG/PS+, then recognise you're being ripped off.

@SolidTy: Indeed, that is how I understood it as well, however it was pretty clear to me when I read about the service that it was like that. I didn't get the sense that they were trying to hide this info.......the subscription basically gives you access to the vault games, whatever they are. If a game is no longer in the vault, you cannot play it anymore, simple as that. What is not yet known is how long games stay in the vault.

As for the online being disabled for some games in the future, this is nothing new, and I don't expect year old games to lose online functionality, usually that takes years. Not concerned about that.

The biggest draw of this service is its cheap price imo....and if you purchase a few new EA games, this service might actually pay for itself because you get 10% off digital purchases.

I don't want that sh** on PS4 this is EA which is a horrible company,with rushed ass games in the name of making more dollars for investors.

This is juts another milk you hell deal,$5 monthly sounds even worse than PSN now,considering that EA doesn't even have 1 quart of the games that will come to that service and still i see PSN now as sh**.

PSN+ is already a good value,and i barely play any EA game any more,good lock getting milked on the one.

Typical cow response. Yeah you would say that fucking shit.

@FoxbatAlpha: You can also get the 30$/yr sub, which comes out to like the price of a cup of coffee , 2.50$/month.......dat monstrous evil greed!

People always invest in their hobbies of choice. $30 a year for something you love doing is a no brainer. Sign me up!

But you cant defend PSN Then as being better because it just plain is overpriced Sony Greed. Sprinkle a shit smell topping and you have a septic system. Enjoy!

Dude, it's Tormentos. What do you expect?

So I'm guessing that 30 bucks for 90 days for a last gen game is better than 30 bucks a year for current gen games and early access to demo's with everything carrying over from the demo, not too mention a small discount for buying digital. Honestly were lems this stupid and biased last gen on this site because every day just when I think I can't see a cow get any dumber you guys pass the mark.

Justin being an EA shill who loves being milked. What a surprise.

Take your fanboy goggles off and recognise this shit as the malignancy it is.

It may be over price final price is not set in stone yet,and price now are ridiculous,but they will have a ton more games than EA will,and not just from 1 developer.

PSN pricing is fu** up now,reason why i say is sh** but to pay $5 dollars a month to get freaking access to only a handful of EA games is a joke.

To pay that for a few EA games i would rather pay $15 a month for gamefly,i can change my game weekly and have basically all the hot games out and for multiple systems not just 1 platform.

I don't want that on PS4,in fact non of the 4 starting games is of my licking so even if it was on PS4,yeah i would have no use for it what so ever,BF4 still is fu** up online and i could care less about sport games,they are the same sh** all years every year with updated roster,if there is a genre that shouldn't cost $60 and just $20 yearly is sports,there is a reason why they have the lowest value game on gamestop,and the reason why there are always mounts of them in walmart been sold for bargain,fifa 2013 is unappealing once 2014 comes out,which basically kill value of sport games fast.

I didn't say any one was forcing me..

$30 a year breaks down to $2.50 a month, it would be pointless for anybody to just buy 1 month or pay month to month. EA does more than just sports games eventually we will see games like Titanfall, Need for Speed, Dead Space, Sims, PvZ, UFC, and many others. If this service gets me early access to the new Star Wars then I'm sold. $30 a month is nothing that's about $5 less than what I pay for my XBL, not too mention this is not a streaming service you actually get to download the game. Although that would mean the return of DRM but it makes perfect sense to use it in a situation like this.

I had Gamefly but then I realized I was paying $22 a month for games and only getting about 3-5 games a year counting the time it takes to play them that's not really a deal to me especially when it's so hard to get new games that you have to request them months before release.

I have to agree the sports games are milkage at it's finest, but I still like to play sports games and really don't care about having the newest ones because it's always just a $60 roster update with a new animation or two.

Let me help you!

Damn everytime I am on the fence buying a PS4 then something on the MS camp makes me wanne buy a XboxOne for the first year.

It's optional, like horse armour DLC is optional and pre-order bonuses are optional.

I know where options go in this cancerous industry.

Have fun in five years when every publisher has its own subscription service.

I wonder is this EA Access program behind the Xbox Live paywall?

Dualshockers have an update:

PlayStation owners won’t be getting the EA Access system, something Sony attributes to the lack of value the service offers.

Speaking to Game Informer, a spokesperson for Sony noted that the PlayStation Plus system already provided substantial quality given its price.

PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price.

As such, Sony didn’t believe that offering another service would be appealing for PlayStation owners, they said.

“We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”

All of which i can get on gamesfly,and without having to wait for EA strategic movements,don't expect them to give you a fresh new game 3 months from launch,which is why Titanfall isn't there.

Gamefly $22 a month give you access to 2 games at a single time no late fees what so ever,so if you want to play the games for 2 months you can,you fell like playing something new.? Send them get something new.

If you payed $22 a month for gameflay and you only got 5 games a year you are a sad fellow,or maybe you downright suck at games,unless you are talking about staying with 1 game for 5 months to play online,i see no reason why you should get only 5 games,in fact the first month you get 2 games,tire of 1 send it and stay with the other,on gamefly i am sure i could get to play more than 30 games in 1 year i am sure,specially since not all games have a wow online part that hook some one into it.

This is MS it would not surprise me..hahaha Pay for gold to be able to pay for EA access as well..lol

Only lemmings praise the idea of payng up to $90 a year to rent digital games, meanwhile I actually get to keep my games on Origin

And all that stuff is now prolific. But it's an option. It's fine. Thanks parasite.

You cannot be serious, Simon. Oh wait, you are serious. You are that malignant.

You don't have to pay for internet access on the PS3. I have no interest in getting a PS4 until more games come out.

Cows still mad at an optional service, lol. If the Vault has games I like, coupled with the 5 day early access, I'll pay for this at $30 bucks a year. If it doesn't, then I won't. Simple as that. How in the hell can anyone be mad at an option? Its the extreme height of fanboyism!

So paying ONLY 5 dollars for 1 month of the service is shit? Then cancelling after you play all the games in the vault is a bad thing..

You know you can pay by the month and cancel at any time. Gamestop will be selling the cards?

My gosh man...The DC is strong in you. To even attempt to make this a BAD thing is DC in itself.

Then you bring in Gamefly to counter this....WOW.

@b4x: It's shit when on other platforms you can get the same game for $5 dollars and actually be able to keep it ;)

4 games in the Vault....lmfao.

Keep EA games? You're doing it wrong. This is a way to try games and see if you want them. There are no contracts.

This is a 5 dollar rental for people that can't afford to buy 4 games they have never played before. Yep it's a bad thing.

Well d'uh playstation now is coming up, obviously they are not going to shoot themselves in the foot, but this is good, xbots get their version of psnow and with competition both services will have to give decent games with decent prices.

Yea, because by golly new games like ME4 and DAIII, Madden 15 ect will be in the vault day 1...RIGHT?

lmao

yeah genius they are "broken" and they just showed microsoft how to make a console.

Did I say that?

You can try those games though for a 5 spot to see if they are worth your money 5 days in advance of their release for 2 hours?

You can try to twist this into a BAD thing all you want. In the end you will always look like a damage controlling cow.

what..

@GrenadeLauncher: It is so funny to see how butthurt you are man. Keep it up

Nope, you convinced me what a VALUE this is by golly. Day fucking 1. lmao

I'm glad SONY didn't PASS on this this or was offered it FIRST. lmao

Day 1, lmao

How is that different from Gamefly.? Oh yeah it is in for of games since EA has sh** games and few ones,while gamefly had tons and from every developer.

This service is sh** and will always be no matter what platform than includes the PS4.

I would take gamefly 10000000 times over that sh** even at $22 a month,that mean 2 games at a single time,i can play them as send them as soon as i finish them,which mean on a month would have play a sh** ton of games more than a few EA games.

http://www.gamefly.com/rent-games/Browse/?pf=1215&cat=MostPopular#axzz38xF5dlb8

Most popular on xbox one now on gamefly.

See this is the difference,you can have 2 of those at the same time,and have a complete month to change between games,so lets say in the month you got Sniper Elite and watchdogs,next week you change Sniper because it is shorter than Watch dogs and you still playing watchdogs,while you already finish Sniper,so you get UFC,beat it as well get tire,and next week you are ready to give up on watch dogs and UFC,so you get titanfall and tomb raider..

You have play 5 games in a single month from Gamefly,but more important that the quantity is the diversity of games you are getting,this also counts vs PSN + as an advantage to gamefly,but the difference been that PSN+ let you have the games you already downloaded and keep playing them even if new ones arrived.

T3h Grasping. Keep up the good fight my man.

My gad man....please just stop.

All that typing for DC. This is an option just like gamefly.

To even compare this to gamefly is well...stupid.

That is just a wall of DC. Everyone sees through it man.

This will propel Xvbone to teh #1.

I'm, getting it right when I get home today.

What a VALUE on on MS!!!111

Shit load of Madden fans out there. Would you say like 10 million copies sold a year?

@b4x:

Imagine the Fifa15 players! I no longer have to buy it now thanks to MS.

Thanks to EA?

There might be 4 or 5 Fifa fans...:P

They won't froth at the mouth for 5 day early access. Not those fanatics. :P

You might see deaths involved!
