Physical games are cheaper than £20 a year? Seems like a fair deal to me though it is likely that most gamers will already have Fifa and Battlefield, OK for newbies I suppose of which there may be many, nice aftersale deal. TBH I would buy this for PS4 If you like sports as I do BF and Madden make it worth it, though Madden UT is pure evil, just pure exploitation which is indeed what I don't like about EA, microtransaction heavy games that want you to spend and then spend again constantly are the way the want gaming to go.
Misleading opening quote misleads those who don't click through 
Since that's the key part of the membership, think it should have been in the opening quote really.
It's an awesome deal if you love sports games and regularly buy them - not sure what else will be added to the package though - or how often the vault will be updated.
It could work out to be an good deal going forwards - especially if you don't buy games as soon as they come out.

EA at it again. Don't bother....ea over chargers for all there games.
From what I can see you're going to get some older games and a discount on some new ones which will probably still be more expensive than the retail versions.
The problem is like to play the likes of battlefield when they come out not 12 months later however I do like the idea of trying things earlier.
I had an email from MS last night saying I could try the service as Im on the firmware testing thing but to actually get the games I'd have to pay the sub.. I'll have a look when I get home.

The older games aren't worth much at all,but any newer games will be overpriced like EA has done for years. If it doesn't bother you then you buy them. I wont
No interest in their sports franchises but the deal seems fair. Having said that if it is only discount on new games - which will all be digital games with inflated prices anyway - then it might not be so great. Be interesting to see what it will actually give us.

Don't the EA games lose value very fast though?
gotta say some of the anti-ea rhetoric on here is kind of tiresome. Even with the debacle of the bf4 launch and subsequent issues and the fact they ruined sim city they have done an awful lot of good stuff too.
I have downloaded dead space, burnout paradise city, peggle, sims 2 ultimate and pvz for free on origin lately not to mention I got nfs most wanted for buying sim city!
Now this looks to be a good deal for anyone who buys any ea sports titles annually, there is no pleasing some people.

It reminds me of all the ridiculously priced watches knocking about, you know the ones that appear on sale every week with 50% off when their RRP is twice what they're worth anyway. People just see the discount and think it's a bargain...

I'd love for you to explain how the games are not worth their rrp.
For £3.99 on PS Now, that would get you 4 hours "rental" of streaming a old game.
They say $100 worth of games but whilst that might be true now in about two months time both FIFA14 and Madden25 will be old hat wiping out much of that value, same with BF4 next year probably.
You're still going to have to buy the latest games and like Columbo said they will be overpriced digitally so the 10% discount won't matter, unless you haven't already purchased BF4 all you're really getting for your $60 a year is an old catalogue of no longer supported games and the ability to play new releases a few days before official release.
They say that the service "starts at $5 a month" so I guess we'll have to see what the premium packages are like.
