EA Access

So, this is not a game, but it is game related! :)
I've seen a lot of people questioning this subscriptionbased service, but I'll take my time and explain this to you guys :) Because this service is actually pretty neat!

First of all, this service is Xbox One exclusive. As far as I know, Sony declined this service, because they were "thinking of their customers", so they wouldn't spend too much money to enjoy games. But this service rather SAVES you money than wasting it!

How do you save, you say? Well, with EA Access you'll have an automatic 10% off ALL EA titles! This was really nice for me when getting Battlefield Hardline Ultimate Edition (I saved about 10-15€ on it!). So yeah, you get 10% off their games with this sub :)

This gets better though! With this subscription you also get to play free games in the Vault, and right now we have 9 games there; Battlefield 4, Fifa 14, PvZ: Garden Warfare, UFC, Need for Speed Rivals, Peggle 2, NBA Live 15, Madden 15 and Madden 25. I was thinking of buying NFS Rivals, until I saw the Vault on the EA Access, and then decided to go for the subscription instead x)

You want more? Well, we got this "test the game before buying it" option on some of the games, or the Early Access option as well. You get a set of hours you can play the games before you decide to buy them. If you like, you buy, basically. If I didn't get the EA Access and had the ability to try out Dragon Age Inquisition, I would never had bought it!

But with all these goodies, this service must be expensive, right? Well, I think it's a cheap prize to pay for this: about 20-25€ a year. Not sure the exact prize in € since I pay with NOK, but this should be about right :)

So, what do you guys think? I thought I had lost hope for EA, but this service might just have redeemed them, at least from my view :)
Just sad that Sony said no to this service, their costumers would probably have enjoyed it.
Anyways, this is it; The EA Access!

Until next time~!
