EA launch monthly subscription service for Xbox One
- Thread starter antijoke
- Start date
Wouldn't be especially suprised to see a direct £/$ conversion
It does look to be a good deal, especially if you're always buying the latest version of FIFA etc..
Personally will hold off & see what they offer later down the line

You don't get them free, you can trial them 5 days earlier than everyone else but then I'm assuming you'll have to pay for them.
edit - read the article on the link. I'd pay $30 a year to play them games on an unlimited basis.
By the time they add any newer titles like Dragon Age or w/e, it'd be about ~£15 in the shops anyway? Yeah it also has 10% off the newer titles on release but if they're already overpriced in the xbox store then, it might still be cheaper elsewhere... You'd have to play and buy a lot of EA games/dlc to make this worth it imo, which if you do then seems like a good deal.

I like this idea, if they added more games to it for £23 per year its a steal. After a year how many games do you still play? and by then they will have like no re sell value.
If they added the latest releases constantly and added their back library, I would pay £30-£50 p/y. Considering I buy 10+ games per year and unless the online is really good normally don't play after the first walkthrough and occasionally the second walkthrough it's priced great.

10% off already overpriced digital copies of games that,discount included,would still be cheaper at the local supermarket and paying to play demo's? Thats a big no from me then
I bet it will be 6 months before the games anyone wants to play will be added to the vault

For £20 a year getting their six month old games (even year old games) is a ridiculously good deal
If you decide to get their games digitally, you'll save around a fiver or £4 each time, so if you get 2 games its costing you even less, pretty good deal in my eyes

Not entirely sure that EA have the variety of games at the moment to make this worthwhile given their current tendency for annualised multiplayer focused games, you'd end up be 6 months to a year out of sync with the games online community.
It still isn't bad for at least 5 games a year. Plenty of people still play them after the others have been released anyway. If you care that much about being in sync you'll buy it at release.
The only thing that really annoys me if that its Xbox One... so they are getting every EA game 5 days earlier than PS4? :/

Alright well if you want to buy their multi player focussed games as soon as they come out.
10% off BF/FIFA/NHL/Madden/(UFC now?)
Then their non annual releases Battlefront/Mirrors Edge/Dragon Age Inquisition/Peggle/NFS/PvZ
If you plan on getting four of those games a year its likely paid for itself (assuming you want to go digital), if you get less you're paying a very small annual fee for access to some good older games (assuming they add most of them)
Amen.
