hardline was released mid march...putting it in the vault would be a huge slap in the face of those who bought it less than 3 months ago

Yeah i know. But EA say this:
"Get ready for a new game in The Vault, members.
We'll have news during E3 next week."
Announcement on E3, and when is the game released, the game will be in the vault...

It's gotta be Hardline. The population is dropping daily (hell, the entire game is dead on PC) and they're pushing for DLC sales since they've committed to four expansions and the first of which is just releasing next week for Premium members.
If not that, it's Battlefield 4 CTE since it's launching on Xbox One and what better way could you make it available then through Access?

Better be Hardline, it needs the additional pop and after playing the Witcher 3 you do not want to play DA:I.

That's how it's operated on PC, yes, but I could seem them releasing it on Access since One is the only console getting it, seemingly.

I think the next release will come out of left field. e3 is a grand stage so maybe a remaster of some sorts.

Who is saying it's a "bad thing"???? I don't see anyone saying that.. I don't have an X1 and it's a great deal...

Not to be rude but isn't this obvious?
"This just in successful service to continue with it's service"

Maybe Hardline. They could say "Here is Battlefield Hardline, now in the vault. The premium membership is also available at the normal 10% discount." Basically, get Hardline out and maybe people will buy the premium if they like it.

Anything would be cool (it's probably dragon age) but imagine if they dropped that suspected Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster on us for the vault at E3. hnngh.
I guess we'll see.

If they just added ME1, I would be juiced.
It's both. Both hardline and DA:I are now available, but only as a free trial.
Rory Mcilroy PGA tour and Madden NFL 16 are also showing in the vault but you can't do anything with it, it's just there, "release date: coming soon"
Edit: interesting all four have now disappeared from the vault though my DA download is still occurring
Edit: nm they are still there, just moved categories from "vault games" to "show all"

That would be so smart.
Get people to buy EA access and get people to buy the expansion.
A Mass Effect Trilogy announced and put right into the Vault would be insane.
I'd sign up right away.
That was always my plan.
Sold DA:I when I was done with it and knew I'd buy the DLC once the game was in the vault.

I'm sure EA would love to put this on PS4 so they can double their subscription base, Sony is probably saying no.

I'd say they've got a long ways to go before the service comes close to PS+
hardly, you can keep that value over there. I'll stick with Plus.
that's kinda crazy especially as their own website is saying titanfall is excluded from EA Access...has this been verified by others(not that i doubt you of course
)?Keep your subscription on top of your subscription I'll pass. And I'm happy Sony told EA to get fucked honestly if anything yall should probably thank Sony for keeping EA honest. By not being on both eco systems EA has no choice but to over deliver on value to keep the fish they have hooked not only to keep you guys paying for games that don't generate income for them anymore but to make it look enticing to Sony all the while. EA is gonna EA though and eventually the other shoe's gonna drop there's always a catch with EA.
I used to think Sony was saying no because they didn't want EA to not put games on plus but it doesn't seem like that'll ever happen again anyway (or any other AAA title for that matter). It would be nice if they would let the consumers decide on this.
you don't need xbox live gold though?
also the service gives alot of games to alot of users that generally wouldn't touch them (NFL, NBA, Peggle, NHL for example for me)
also I'm pretty sure fifa generates money throughout the year with the FUT points that can be bought.... i'm sure something similar is applied to NHL, NBA and NFL
They give you games that aren't generating much money in their catalog basically monetizing products that otherwise don't generate retail revenue anymore right? Maybe you don't need gold but as so many people like to say who has an Xbox without gold right? I'm just saying I think PS plus has a better model and the discounts throughout the year alone are worth more to me than Live or EA access. Sadly my son didn't agree and since it was his allowance he wanted EA access so yeah I've argued it with a few people and it's my opinion that EA cares little for their customers through my experiences with them and I'm not alone in that opinion so I'd rather have ONE sub that suits my needs and tastes as well as my budget and though I have both systems I feel like PS+ was and still is the better value between Live/Access/PS+.
not sure where you're getting the info that the games in the vault don't generate much money...Fifa is still in the top 10 charts in the UK and NPD... more than 8 months after release

They get subscriptions from games that wouldn't generate much revenue otherwise, and we get access to many quality games that we wouldn't have bought otherwise, for a ridiculous low price. I'd say it's a win-win scenario, the best kind of business.
