Sorry, but unfortunately you can't pay for it with your Xbox.com balance, you have to start your sub with a credit card or PayPal account attached. (source: EA Access)

Note: As soon as you start your subscription, you can turn off auto renewal on Xbox.com just to be sure that you are not billed automatically on renewal.

ah shite........

I would say so.

But you could be talking after the Star Wars Battlefront launch, if Hardline online players drop off.

I doubt it will happen before hand.

I can't get in to the Access app at all, get an error saying my account is invalid. Anyone know the number for the Irish support centre? Their support website won't load for me on any computer or browser I try.

There's a facebook help page if that helps?

Yeah I actually posted on there earlier, they basically said try again. Been unable to play any ea game online for 2 weeks now!

From EA Access' Twitter: "Hey members, get ready for a new game in The Vault. More news next week @E3."

The only games left to go in the Vault are Titanfall, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Battlefield Hardline. Unless they announce and release something silly like Simpsons Tapped out on Xbox, this is awesome news. Respawn have said in the past that Titanfall will not be part of the Vault. and even the EA Access page says "TITANFALL EXCLUDED FROM ALL EA ACCESS FEATURES".

Mickeroo · 12-06-2015 04:33PM

Man, i'm going to feel like a moron for buying Dragon Age if it ends up in the vault, parrticularly since I haven't gotten around to playing it yet

super_furry · 12-06-2015 04:53PM

Would have to figure it's Hardline. Dragon Age is the kind of game that will continue to sell for years to come because there's so few games like it on the console right now.

tony1980 · 12-06-2015 05:55PM

Hard-line would hardly go up that quick though, would say it would be Dragon Age

super_furry · 12-06-2015 06:01PM

Hardline never really caught fire sales-wise and with Battlefront on the horrizon, isn't likely to shift many more copies. Giving it away now might at least help sell some of their DLC and season passes.

tkd93 · 12-06-2015 07:27PM

My money is on it being titanlfall.

rizzla · 12-06-2015 08:54PM

My money is on Dragon Age. The game has been on sale quite a bit, they probably have seen the sales drop. So just throw it in the vault. I'd be surprised if it's Hardline, to my knowledge the game hasn't even been in a sale always been full price on the store.

That is what they did with some sports games put it on sale then shortly later, throw it in the vault. Plus, the rpg genre isnt represented currently in the vault. Could really advertise the something for everyone thing.

rizzla · 12-06-2015 09:00PM

Totally out there prediction though, what if it's PvZ Garden Warfare 2? Launches straight into the vault.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 13-06-2015 09:54AM

I suppose theres theoretically nothing stopping EA from reaching agreements with non EA publishers to put games in the vault? Take our games with gold running joke ryse. Sales of that must surely be limited to second hand copies at this stage. A cut of the ea access subscription fee would at least add some potential revenue stream to the games lifespan.

I checked out the EA Access page, it does mention EA games. It would seem like a logistical nightmare to include other publishers games. Vault games are meant to be in the vault "forever", the percentage given would be under 1% I'd imagine to allow the possibility of further third party games to be included.

Also the t&c's mention Titanfall oddly;

TITANFALL EXCLUDED FROM ALL EA ACCESS FEATURES

Doubt it would ever be in the vault, probably has to do with MS's exclusivity deal.

You'd be amazed of the power of money though. Also, I have a feeling that the titanfall bits in the t&c was as much to protect sales of titanfall as anything else.

I'd say it's Dragon Age. When you release a vault game to align with E3 it's got to be something special.

I'm like mickeroo, bought that in a sale two or three months ago and haven't even launched it. Really hope it's not that!

I feel like you didn't read my post. OMG you guys, am I invisible? brb, robbing a bank and sneaking into the girls locker room.

I guess we'll find out the new Vault game at EA's E3 press event at 9pm GMT on Monday.

FAILSAFE 00 · 13-06-2015 02:27PM

I wonder what time the E3 press event will be at on Monday

If its dragon age I think I'll pick up Access at last.

Called it!

Titanfall has been added to the vault.

Great to see, hopefully going to give the player base a welcome boost.

15-06-2015 01:10AM

Might try it again but I was on the BETA and I found it was making me nauseous with the camera movement in the Titan.

Boommm!
I didn't see that one coming. Feckin Titan called right into the vault lol

marcbrophy · 15-06-2015 02:39AM

I got Titalfall, the season pass and 3 pieces of dlc downloading!

Sweet

MiskyBoyy · 15-06-2015 02:44AM

Of course Titanfall 2 announced tomorrow :rolleyes:

murpho999 · 15-06-2015 08:59AM

Ah I have Titanfall already and was hoping for Dragon's Age. Ah well.

Mr Freeze · 15-06-2015 09:04AM

Kinda glad its not Dragon Age, I bought it in a sale a few weeks after launch and have barely played it.

I think I will stop buying EA games now and wait for vault releases.

great to see, I'm going to definitely try and play a bit more of this now, plenty scrubs to help me rank up. I'm still stuck on level five with that poxy gooser achievement.
