I may check it out.
To rent BF4 for a month at $5 is tempting.

 

[Bsigg12]

We have 3 gold accounts on our console. Would all have access to the games?

Yes.

Do all those accounts play on separate Xboxes? If not you could cut down to 1 Gold account and share gold benefits across each account.

 

[condompickle]

how are you getting invites? through email or via the xbone? i want to play some madden and fifa.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

If you go sub-only and don't take advantage of the new release discounts, the value all depends on how often they rotate the Vault titles.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Worth noting that these titles aren't yours for the duration of your subscription ala PS+, they will cycle and change , they will remove access to vault titles and replace them with others.

Where did you get this from? I see it says evolving titles and not revolving.

 

[Neander]

Im honestly shocked you guys think EA will actually give you "value" for your subscription. Keep running gaming into the ground guys. Make sure you all give Dungeon Keeper 5 stars on the way out.

So much salt. Holy shit.

Anyway, I have to go to work so I'll definitely give it a go in the morning.

 

[E92 M3]

I don't like sports games, but definitely interested in how this develops. Could be a great program if done right.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Surely it has to be rotated, the Vault would become huge. Would they really let you play 4+ years of games for $30? And what about the ones they kill the servers for, why would they keep them there when they are unplayable?

Can we get a link to this as that sort of sucketh...

 

[Sofa King]

Yes.

Yep, we have multiple 360s that still get plenty of play.

 

[biRdy]

If you only have one xbox, you only need to have gold on a single account.

 

[Bsigg12]

Good stuff.

 

[elementalsin]

So I got a code for this in my xbox messages.... and it immediately says the code doesn't work? Anyone else experience this yet?

 

[sangreal]

subbed and grabbed madden and fifa; why not?

already have bf4 on ps4 and peggle

 

[R3TRO]

So I got a code for this in my xbox messages.... and it immediately says the code doesn't work? Anyone else experience this yet?

Yep, I manually typed it in.

 

[Dabanton]

Just grabbed the app. Pretty slick.

Already have FIFA digitally but I never actually brought Peggle or BF4 so those will do.

 

[sangreal]

So I got a code for this in my xbox messages.... and it immediately says the code doesn't work? Anyone else experience this yet?

I had this problem; I was copying and pasting the code to the website and the last digit was getting cut off (because it included a space in front)

 

[mbmonk]

Remove the space at the start of the code input. You should be good

Doh! That makes sense. Thank you!

 

[PaulExcellent]

I wish I had an Xbone to try this. It sounds like a pretty interesting program.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Yes the vault may be rotated but that's not what was posted. The poster said you lose access to those games which would be shit if they don't actually give you a time-frame.

Say you download BF4 and a day later it's gone. These games also have SP aspects so the game isn't dead if servers die and EA made no mention of "limited access" to downloaded games.

Mine only copied over 24 characters. Do it manually.

 

[blazeuk]

Anyone subscribed via the UK store and switched regions to the US to see if the discount still applies? Be interesting to know if it's locked to the region you purchase it in.

They wont rotate the vault out - they want you to buy DLC at this point - especially for something like BF4

Yup and the gold deal of the week is battlefield dlc

 

[grosvenor_92]

Sounds interesting but why wouldn't they release this for all platforms ?

Yep, this was it. Got to antsy and jumped the damn gun before thinking. Thanks guys.

 

[reptilescorpio]

This is an awesome idea. PS Now was always going to be a pain for Sony to organise deals with each publisher so I expected more services like this to pop up.

Hopefully they add all their titles into the vault and DONT pull titles from it. This is key to getting me to sign up for it.

The whole 'games release for subscribers before regular gamers' thing is a bit of a worry though....

 

[GravyButt]

How you guys getting codes?!

 

[Neuromancer]

Wait what? That's crazy town if it's true.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

So now that I own it now what?

 

[sangreal]

How you guys getting codes?!

they sent them to people in the xbox preview program

 

[Dabanton]

Sounds interesting but why wouldn't they release this for all platforms ?

From the email MS sent out earlier.

EA Access is a subscription product created by the teams at Microsoft and EA, and it's exclusive to Xbox One!

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

My code isn't working for some odd reason. Any idea?

 

[Steverulez]

So now that I own it now what?

Download the games! Play games! BF4 is downloading for me at the moment, I'm just about to go to bed, will give it another try tomorrow I guess

 

[Jonesy7707]

Enter it manually.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

This is a great deal, only five bucks, thats like the price of a damn cheeseburger.

The thing is, many EA games dont really suit my taste in games though. I only like dragon age and mass effect. I can't think of any other games i've played in the past from EA that I really liked.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Download the games! Play games! BF4 is downloading for me at the moment, I'm just about to go to bed, will give it another try tomorrow I guess

Yay! Finna play Tlou though for now

 

[Dabanton]

How you guys getting codes?!

If you're in the preview programme check your Xbox Live messages.

 

[mbmonk]

This is great. Last night BF4 was on sale on the Xbox store for $30. I decided to wait one day and not impulse purchase. This morning the price was back at $60, this evening I get a code for the EA program.

$5 for BF4 for the month of August.. Destiny in September. I am good to go.

 

[Synless]

I'm surprised they are only doing it for Xbox one and not PS4/PC as well.

 

[NMHD]

Just signed up for the year. Looking good so far.

 

[SPDIF]

Mine was in the middle for some inexplicable reason. That's why I missed it.

Do you have the list sorted alphabetically by any chance?

 

[Courage]

If anyone has a code and is not using it you can PM me. Please

 

[OminoMichelin]

I'm more inclined to buy a month of BF4 than spending 30 to 40€ for a game that's multiplayer only.
Maybe they'll bring this to PC. I'm actually ok with this business model

 

[yLEFTy]

Quick question for anyone that has purchased this...can you use Microsoft dollars to pay for it?

 

[statham]

ahhh, it won't let me use the money in my Microsoft account? it links me to my paypal only.

 

[Sofa King]

If garden warfare was part of this I would go trade my bf4 and garden warfare discs in and make money on a year of this. The only 2 games I don't have of the 4 current ones are madden and FIFA which I probably won't play.

 

[Steverulez]

Quick question for anyone that has purchased this...can you use Microsoft dollars to pay for it?

No. Credit Card needed.

You don't get an extra 10% on top of sale prices btw

 

[R3TRO]

That let me down too lol.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Anyone subscribed via the UK store and switched regions to the US to see if the discount still applies? Be interesting to know if it's locked to the region you purchase it in.

I'm in Australia and purchased from the US region and the discounts apply to both stores so that's pretty awesome. Although with the ridiculous pricing of games in Aus I won't be buying much from home.
