"EA Access" on Xbox One

Hmm. Maybe you might be able to buy the sub for $29.99 instead of €29.99?how will this work with having an xbox on the american region in ireland??
i dont wanna keep switching back and forth though realistically i only switch when buying a game
Also, if you can buy games in '$' instead of '€' then you might be saving on currency conversion and getting another 10% on top.
A proposition that suddenly changes from interesting to verrry interesting.
I'm not on the Dash preview, but wonder if anyone who is could confirm whether this is the case?

I'm on the U.S market and bought the sub in $ and also the games are there for me in the cheaper $ price with the 10% discount also

Not good value for Sony I'd say.
Probably yeah lol but that's not how they try to swing it :pac:
"We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,"
I'm not going to complain anyway, I love this new offer 0 -

That sounds brilliant. I know everyone seems to have the niggling "Yeah, but it's EA, where's the catch?" thing going on, but I really can't see any fault with it at all.I'm on the U.S market and bought the sub in $ and also the games are there for me in the cheaper $ price with the 10% discount also
If it works with the Home Gold sharing as well, it's an absolute no-brainer for me 0 -

This is something I want to know! Currently don't home share with anyone but would be interesting to know 0 -

I note how Sony never said that they 'evaluated' the offering before it was announced. I'm amazed that they are so openly vocal against it. Surely they would still want to keep EA, as publisher of many of the top of the line AAA titles, onside and not pee them off.
Although EA and Microsoft did announce their 'special partnership' deal at the TV, TV, TV launch in May last year that largely went unnoticed until now. This is probably the first real fruits of this deal (other than exclusive FUT modes). Sony are probably a bit on the outside for now with EA on Next New Gen.
It's amazing to see a bunch of positive stories about Xbox One for a change - it will be interesting to see how Eurogamer or Engadget will find a way to put a negative spin on it.0 -

That could possible be it alright
Also, that EA demo being accidentally charged at $4.99 a while back was more than likely connected to this EA Access too 0 -

I'm neither at home or in the preview program to confirm this, but people on Reddit are saying that the home sharing works. YMMV.
Both consoles will need to have the EA Access app installed to download the files, but after that it seems good to go.0 -

Definitely if you hadn't already owned BF4. Worth it on it's own
I'll assume it doesn't unlock the dlc with it? :P
Definitely getting 12 months myself too once the 1 month expires. Haven't tried stacking actually. Must try add 12 months to my 1 month later :P0 -

Hmmm that's strange. Maybe check your previous messages to see if you have 1 from Xbox about it. I can't remember exactly but I think that's how I got the app
Yeah, i got nothing
If there is any chance you could be so kind as to send my mate an invite it'd be greatly appreciated GT Reaperz Black0 -

I think this is terrible.
I don't want to be 'slagging off' either company, but this honestly just looks like a way to get more money off people, while pretending it is a better 'service'..
How is it terrible? You do know if people don't think it is good value they just won't purchase it? I'm seriously struggling to see the negative angle to all this, as somebody who loves playing sports games locally 2 player this sounds brilliant.0 -

Really hard to see how this is terrible to be honest.
From the very start, you get access to four recent enough games for a very decent price, early access to upcoming games, and a discount on all digital products.
Also, all companies are profit making companies, of course they are looking to get more money off people. With this, most people have decided that this is a very good deal, and thus is acceptable to most people.0 -
