Guys if I get EA access just for a month try 4 games. Which ever I like I go and buy is it just a matter of installing and the awards and game saved data gets carried over??

The game would alrwady be installed so disc would only be needed for verification. Your save games would still work

Seems like a decent idea, it's just a bit early in the Xbox One's life cycle for it to really work well. EA will be reluctant to add games that they still expect to sell in reasonable numbers. Games With Gold has a similar problem - we're only getting commercial flops for the Xbox One at the moment. I expect that'll change this year as launch games like Ryse and Forza 5 slowly get forgotten about.

Once the Xbox One has been going for a while it should get better. The Xbox 360 has a massive catalogue of forgotten games, many of them no longer available at retail. A subscription service would be a great way to monetise such a back catalogue.

Its already working well. Its well worth it for the price IMO. Get more than enough games for £20 a year.

I completely agree. For £20, even for the games they currently have available, it's well worth it. BF4 is obviously the big one, but NFS Rivals is also a decent game. I would never have bought Peggle or PvZ, but they're nice additions. I've not tried UFC out yet but I'll give it a go. I had FIFA already, and I probably won't ever play Madden.

Having said that, I'm not sure what games they can release for the rest of the year. Only EA Sports titles, Titanfall and Dragon Age spring to mind as EA published games. I expect we will see Titanfall appearing soon enough, and the sports titles will no doubt appear just before the yearly updates.

Its also nice to be able to trial things like Dragon Age.

Well Ive just got it for £3.99 as wanted to see what it like first... I though I trial some of the games if I like them I can always try buy them pre owned and end my sub.... So the way I looked at it is trying 4 gams for a month for £3.99 not bad at all...
