EA Access gives players access to triple A games for $5 2.5O UK POUNDS a month. Your ...

So if you subscribe you can get them early - for 5 days, after that it's either buy it or wait (for God knows how long) for it to be available as part of the package...

Hmmmm.... doesn't sound so good now.

 

It's worth mentioning you do get a 10% discount on those purchases as well. If you buy EA titles regularly, you'll probably save money.

Plus, I'm sure there are people out there who can finish some games in 5 days.

 

Interesting point Cosmic, I would imagine that its not full access to new titles, more of an extended demo mode maybe?

 

I guess it depends on what your usual buying habits are.

For me personally I'll be buying Dragon Age at launch anyway so being on this scheme would get me 10% off the price of it and access 5 days early. Add that discount to the savings I've already made by buying Xbox credit from places like CDKeys and it will
make digital prices more competitive.

If I wasn't already planning to buy it that early access would basically be a demo and would help me decide whether or not it was worth buying at launch. If you're then not bothered about buying it straight away you've not really lost anything, you'll just
have to wait X amount of months for it to be available.

I think that aspect of the program really only benefits people who'd be buying EA titles anyway.

 

So this is basically the preview programme all over again (with the addition of getting to play the games once they are really old).

I paid for the preview program once, deffo was not worth it for me as i only played Fifa.

Worth it if you buy 4-5 EA games at launch for full price ro you never buy EA games and can wait until they are added to the program.

Not so good for someone like me who is getting DA and Fifa at launch but may not buy a another EA game in the program all year.

 

I only buy a couple of EA games at launch so for me the main benefit will be the games that go into the vault. I don't mind playing an older Fifa, as I do t really play them online. Battlefield I might grab on launch depending on the setting of the game,
otherwise I'll wait, and things like Madden and Peggle aren't games I'd buy at all so they'll be bonuses. Dragon Age and Mass Effect 4 are titles that I will buy anyway so any potential saving on those is good.

 

Its not that bad though Boas old chap. I have none of those games and would only be interested in playing BF4 (maybe) so if I want to play for a month it costs me £3.99 which is cheaper than a physical rental would be or I could sub for a year for £20
and still be quids in to play BF4 for a year with all the other bonuses that I may or may not be interested in. Works for me. In your case your buying Fifa and DA at launch you will save 10% of those titles which has got to be about 8 quid saving in total
(give or take) and early access, so thats almost half your years sub paid just in savings on the two games you intend to pick up plus whatever comes along in a year which you may or may not be interested in. But yes if you just buy those two and nothing
else then maybe not so good for you. Although I would probably pay an extra tenner just to get my hands on DA a week early!

 

I signed up yesterday not many games titles yet but they will comd
