This is not going to go away. EA is pushing forward. Sony will have to give in eventually and use now for exclusives from previous gems. EA, Activision and Ubi, are going to want make money off their own used games. This seems like the best way to control that market. It gives gamers a deal that is palatable

Looking forward to playing NFS Rivals. I passed on the title as was a bit burned out (no pun!!) with NFS games - but not going to argue with having it to download for 'free'.

Same here. Even resisted the more recent temptation of $25, happy I did.

I was going to wait a little while longer but may as dive in now. NFS, Madden, Peggle, NHL all for £30 with more likely to come. Mainly to show support for the service. Many of the games from the 3 big publishers for around £100 per year would be a sweet deal... already paid that for BF4 w/ premium alone.

Yeah I have the service, I feel like I already got my money's worth and as they keep adding games then the bang for your buck only gets better. Glad it's rolling out in more contries. I like more choices, I imagine if all the major devs offered such a subscription I would save tons of money by only buying my most wanted games day 1 but instead of spending 30-40 on discounted games that I wasn't interested enough to buy early for $60, then I have access to a large variety of games now for about $150 a year from 5 publishers instead of the $300-$350 a year I spend on secondary games that I dont buy day 1. That's basically how I view this, my main problem is time to play 'em all. Lol

IrishSt0ner3560d ago (Edited 3560d ago )

Yea exactly this, there's lots of games I'd be more than happy to wait for 6 months to a year on a subscription based service. Would drastically reduce the amount I spend too.

Aye man finding the time is hard, I already have a backlog to complete on XBO, buying EA access will only increase that (then there's all the games this fall) but worth it to promote the idea imo.
