I am not sure if EA Access will work . The point being that how many games will it ACTUALLY have in regards to the XBOX ONE system (NHL, FIFA, and MADDEN from the previous year??) And if it does have NHL 15, FIFA 15, and MADDEN 15 would that technically shoot themselves in the foot in regards to XBOX ONE physical copy sells as well as digital copies???

It's still too early.We need to see if EA is true to their word and if Sony improves their ps4 offerings.
And then there is PS NOW...

4 games? 3 of which are last year's releases of annualized series whose fans most likely already own?

Maybe it will be something someday, but right now it isn't worth my money.

Why are people saying PSN is more value....YOU NEED PSN ANYWAY to play online games. PSN is not a free game service its purpose is to allow you to play games online....the end. The free games is a bonus just like xbox live does but the reason i pay for xbox live is ONLINE GAMING not free old games.

And what is the overall fear here? So are we scared that all games will go this way? So your telling me that if EA offered a $99.99 yearly subscription that will get you access to all games that come out that year you wouldnt pay that? Heck i buy maybe 5-6 games a year thats about $360. So if Activision and EA offer that same kind of deal $99.99 dollars a year to play all of their games and id have 160 left over to purchase games from whatever smaller company i wanted! Sign me up RIGHT NOW

i really dont understand all the hype over ea access, do people understand its EA only games, and to be honest you can probably get most of these game for 5 bucks anyway and save money. this is just EA's version of PS now, thats it. except ps now has more companies and games. dont get me wrong 5 bucks is a good deal. but right now, i have madden 25, not into soccer, peggle might be good sounds kiddy though, and of course BF4 which i imagine most people have by now.

i mean you dont own any of these game or have played them, these are the people who will feel the value of it, but at least for me, i wanna see what they add before i can make a decision on if this is worth it or not.

Gotta love how EA is public enemy #1 and a consumer pariah to almost everyone around here.

Then they release a service on Xbox and they're friendly and great?

No. This is merely a Trojan horse workaround to the DRM that was jammed back down their own throats.

find out on the next exciting episode of dragon ball z

Their but worth while subscription just depends what platform you have . Now if you have both systems it's a win win situation.

Well I don't like both of them, just because of the cost!!!! EA just charging us for Demos, n Sony charging us for OLD games... Why heck did anyone of them go next gen now to give is old n crap games,
If Last of us was a great game why not release it on PS Now n not remaster it,

The Sonytologists would pay anything asked of them at this point, they have drunk the kool aid and are walking straight into a spinning fan with a smile.

if your a EA only gamer than this is a great value, but for anyone else, your just giving EA money to play their old games.

this only seems a benefit if
A, you don't mind waiting a year or more for EA games
or
B. you buy 4 full price EA digital games a year.However, due to the 4 in 12 month restriction, you would have to wait until you renew next year to get your "insert sport" 16. Plus this option loses you 4 of the next years free games.

LOOK!! they've got us discussing which DRM service is more worthwhile....who cares, I surely don't. there both bad for consumers at the end of the day.

Some DRM? ok, I can handle that, but if your IQ is but average you should be able to detect what happens if a major publisher like EA becomes successful on NEXT GEN consoles with there DRM service.

Like a freight train at a 90 degree angle going down hill, every other major publisher will jump on board. And that's bad for consumers.

There is always a END GAME.....think gamers, think.
not with your lust, but with your intelligence in understanding human nature.

I'm sure it'll work but is ps+ More worth while... Yes! Simples, Ea release how many games a yeah? Even at the very minimum if you own one sony console your looking at 24 games a year minimum, yeah great deal from EA, would you like to buy the updated version of last years game but actually only really rent, no ta, I'll stick with these ps+ rentals (thought I'd get that in their before some pathetic cretin pipes up with but your only renting them on ps+) Sure but once you've realised the errors of your ways and actually give it a go rather than just slate it as it's not your console of choice without absolutely any logic or rational thought process' going on or I dunno having actually played the system, then you might understand the fact you rent your games on ps+ is completely irrelevant who is gonna cancel ps+ when it pays for itself, not many services you can say Pay for themselves!! Sure you can't pick and choose the games you want but the selection they've been giving out since oct last year, amazing. More than enough to see me through Christmas and keep my gaming bills down, I can wait for the chrimbo rush to clear and get what I want on the cheap, like I'll do with xbox one in i dunno 18-24 months, no need for it currently.

PSNow is definitely the better of the two imo. prices are another thing. The PNNow service is like having a red box in your house. you pay around 6-7 dollars to have a game for a week. I'm personally actually sort of happy with the arrangement but i want better prices of course. EA's service does not have the depth or potential of the PSNow, so 5/month just to play old EA games is not exciting to me, not to say that its not a good option to have for some because im sure some people could be happy with it.

So if I buy 60 dollars of DLC for Battle Field 4 and a month later they remove it from the vault then I have to buy the full game to continue playing on line.Sounds like they can scam you real easy with this.
