So I thought this would be better to post here than in the world news section.
Electronic Arts has announced a new subscription service that gives Xbox One owners access to some of its biggest games for a small monthly fee. Called EA Access, the service is launching to select users in beta today, with a starting price of $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year. The company says EA Access will "launch for everyone on Xbox One soon." Paying for the subscription will get you access to what EA calls its Vault, a collection of games you'll have unlimited access to as long as you're subscribed. During the beta, that will include a sampling of four titles FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Peggle 2, and Battlefield 4 though the company says more games will be added "soon."
The service will also get you early access to some of EA's upcoming titles. Subscribers will be able to play trials for upcoming games like Dragon Age: Inquisition and this year's EA Sports titles "up to five days" ahead of their launch date. Additionally, EA says subscribers will save 10 percent when buying EA games through the Xbox One game store. "This is something we've never done before and we're excited to share it with you," the company says. EA calls the service a "partnership" with Microsoft, and there's no word on whether it will be available on other platforms as well.
So anyway I have respect for EA and Im willing to admit they mess up but at the same time I do enjoy and play there games the most. I myself am looking forward to this and considering actually paying for something like this. So what do you think about it? Is it EA being money hungry (No its $5) or could it be a response to playstation now? (Still dissappointed in PS now pricing, its outrageous)

You only get the games in the Vault for free. So you still have to buy new releases like Madden 15 etc.
You gt a 10% discount on new games though which is awesome.

Yes but you will also receive demo access to all new EA titles (Madden 15) 5 days before release.

Yep and it also says you can play for only 2 hours which is worthless.

Mayjor nelson tweeted saying you can only play the early access of games for 2 hours, which to be honest is pointless.
It should be like the season pass were you got it full 5 days.

Basten wroteBut still you paying $5 a month ($30 a year) to get acess to most EA games and they are still giving you access to games early and you get to keep the progress. Now if they did this like playstation now and made it a rental service then this would be a rip off.Potion_Jr_Jr wroteOakland wrote Is this including all the battlefields?At this point in time during the beta its only battlefield 4 (Theres other games, just not battlefields). you will be able to play battlefield hardline 5 days before release for a small period of time (This is included with the $5 monthly).
