That's a good deal, actually. I wonder if it would include like BF Premium content.
Safe to say you'd gain access to "last year's" sports titles and such. They still want to sell new copies of Madden. But for a lot of people, that wont matter.

"FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Peggle 2, and Battlefield 4"
Four complete and utter shit games.
That idea is interesting though but I can't think of any good EA games.

But never 'new' games.
Not at that price.
You are on cuckoo land if you think that makes any business sense, especially with the legs some of their yearly titles have.
It is called Vault for a reason, vault can denote old, archive etc. It'll just be a cheap way to play last years' roster updates.

I'd be a bit more interested if they offered older releases with, optimistically, online restored.

Um, port prior-gen stuff like Dragon's Age and Dead Space and sure, no brainer.
Here is EA explaining it. You guys were right about new games. My bad
Europe and Canada also

I doubt very much that EA would offer new releases for $30.

Cuz MS and EA love each other, and MS has the money to secure a deal like this.

Hah, the "vault" terminology made me think they were gonna put up old emulated games too.
"Finally I get to play Budokan and the Strike series!"
edit: MS did announce recently that they updated some backend systems to allow for different types of bundles/subscriptions/etc. I'm guessing this is one of the first fruits of that. In addition, they probably have a lot of other digital licensing code lying around, based on their initial plans from last year, haha.

I think that would be a whole lot cheaper than what I'm paying now for games

Plus Internet connection and Xbox Live.
As someone that only buys used games, no thanks.

i think this is EA's way of combating PSNow/PS+, which is why this is xbone exclusive...

Man, that doesn't seem like to good of a deal on their end. I mean, most of their games are annual so you'll only need to pay once to play them and at half the price.

That sounds like a helluva deal to me.

Wow, this has serious potential. I'm surprised at how low the price is. I definitely wouldn't mind checking out BF4 for a month or so.

Sounds cool but-
When I hear "VAULT" I think about an OLD SAFE, with OLDER GAMES.
Does this include NEW RELEASES too?

It's ok not only do I not want to play the majority of EA games I certaintly would never sub to a service for them.

Additionally, EA Access will also net subscribers 10 percent discounts on all EA digital content, which includes full games and DLC, as well as access to trials of new EA games nearly a week before they come out (with saves that copy over to the final game, should you choose to purchase it later). Games that will be eligible for early access and save copy-over are Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA Live 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Memberships can be purchased on Xbox Live, and will also be available at retail stores like GameStop and online destinations like Amazon. The subscription service will launch "soon," according to EA, and will be available in North America and Europe.
