Has this been announced to be some sort of contract like the wwe network, or can you just cancel whenever you want?

 

[condompickle]

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

i am. i got nothing. i wanted to fifa tonight.

 

[Guymelef]

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

 

[Defect]

I'm currently installing bf4 but when I try to install madden or FIFA, nothing happens. Do I have to wait for bf to completely install first?

One year is $30, monthly is $5.

No. Credit Card needed.

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

Well that's disappointing.

Dang I was afraid of that..thanks for the answer

I feel your pain. I still haven't gotten a code.

Hmm maybe they're doing it in waves.

Pretty sure you can just go on Xbox.com commerce and cancel whenever if you're on the month to month for $5. Ala gold memberships.

 

[Exploratory]

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.

Lol this is joke right? You're referencing a funny post before my time perhaps?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Anyone get a code that has 1 too many characters? I did.

 

[Dubz]

I can't find the app.

 

[guitarguy316]

so will they still do free demos (i.e. not the 5 day early stuff), but true free limited demos?

 

[Courage]

I got a 10 dollar ms card if anyone wants to trade.

 

[Jonesy7707]

I can't find the app.

Have a look among your apps and games.

did you try removing the space in front?

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Enter it manually.

Got it. Thanks.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Ah that was it. They accidently included a space in front.

 

[Zephyx]

That MS/EA partnership. Really shows how deeply invested these two companies are with each other.

$5 to try 4 full games for a month (we don't know the exact duration for games yet, right?) is definitely a steal. The 10% discount on all(?) digital content and the early access to new releases are just icing on the cake. I don't like subscription services in general but I think this one's pretty good at that price and the value you're getting.

Spoiler

Still not subscribing though as I don't play EA games (aside from FIFA) in general and I don't have an XB1

 

[nate75]

Just signed up £19.99 for the year , downloading BF4 atm , full games 10% dicounts ,pretty damn good for the price of a pizza meal deal

 

[guitarguy316]

i think ill do 1 month when madden, nhl, and fifa are within range to try them out as extended demos...

 

[ryan299]

I just read in an article that the four games already in access seem to be staying. EA says they won't remove games they add to the vault. Any truth to that?

 

[statham]

Madden, Fifa and Battlefield queue up.

 

[Jimrpg]

great news is that you can pay 5$ and rent the games for a month. whats not to like? if 5$ is too much for a month of games you don't want to buy anyways, then idk what is a good deal. maybe 2$

$5 is great value, I meant if they don't rotate the titles frequently enough, it's going to look like it's not worth it.

 

[BeforeU]

Remove the space in front and enter the last character manually. I had the same problem.

 

[Xanos]

Am I the only one terrified by this 'gaming as a service' model the industry seems to be inevitably headed to? It's already scary enough "owning" games digitally (I use the term owning very loosely), but now offering games as a subscription service that can go away once you stop paying is even more disturbing. It's fine at the moment since we can still buy these games physically, but what happens once the physical option goes away? At that point I'll probably either stop playing games entirely or only play retro.

 

[Dubz]

Have a look among your apps and games.

I did, and I admittedly skimmed the OP. How do I get the app on the X1? What are the steps?

 

[Steverulez]

The option is there to click "cancel automatic payment" although I'm not going to click it, haha

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I expect the next game yo be Need for speed.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Do you have a link to that article?

I can't see them removing games, not anytime soon anyway or they'll just have a bunch of pissed off gamers and they will be back to square one.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Oh. Are you in the preview program? If so they message you a code to download the app.

 

[condompickle]

good news is they give you an option. i will be a 5$ a month guy. once a year.

 

[BeforeU]

Is this weekly? hollyshit. That's incredible.

 

[Bessy67]

Isn't EA saying it the best proof you could ever get? No one would know the terms of the program any better then the program's creator.

I expect the next game yo be Need for speed.

When does PvZ come out for PS4? I predict that's when PvZ gets put into the vault.

 

[Steverulez]

I expect the next game yo be Need for speed.

Yep, that or NBA Live

Madden 15 access should be up on 19th August then (5 days before US release) and NHL 15 should be up 4th September

Will give NHL a go for sure

 

[Kajiba]

Checked my messages and got a code for it.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

No. I just expect whenever they do add their next full retail game, it will be Need For Speed.

 

[BeforeU]

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

No you can't. Only credit card. LOL I wanted to use my GameStop money. But couldn't.

 

[Yoday]

I don't feel like EA has a large enough catalog for this to make sense. Most people that want the games provided already have them. You would have to buy pretty much every EA game a year for the 10% discount to make you your money back, and then you'd already have all of the games that would ever show up with free access. This service really only seems to make sense if you play a lot of EA games, including their sports games, or really want a few days of early access to their games.

Looks like you totally skipped the free games part. FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Battlefield 4 and Peggle 2. There are free games right now once you sign up. And more will be added later.

 

[gamechanger87]

Code received on the message didn't work when I hit redeem code on the console. Entered it on the computer and it works fine. Downloading Peggle 2 now. In all honesty it was really easy. Just sign up, pay and it pulls all your info down.

Not really, especially if folks buy DLC or really do care about playing old games they passed up.

Damn. Wanted to do the same.

Only looking at my personal situation, i've seen on Amazon (UK) that I can trade my copy of Fifa 14 in to them for £2.50 more than an entire years worth of the subscription... so that makes it immediately worth it to me (not that I'm trading it yet) but still

Fifa 14 and BF4 will last me until some of the trials come in, seems like decent value so far

I checked my messages and got no such code

makes sense for me. all i have is bf4. i wouldn't mind playing madden and fifa for a month for 5$. unless i am crazy.

 

[gamechanger87]

Not yet. When this rolls out to all, you can buy access via GameStop.

 

[FlamingHawk]

Oh look, EA still going Pro Microsoft, what a surprise.

 

[statham]

I used my paypal account so thats another option.

 

[GravyButt]

Maybe. I havent gotten one either.
