"EA Access" on Xbox One

CatInABox

Tiredness made me post this in another thread, but it actually belongs here:

Not sure if this is accurate or not, but I have a feeling that purchasing EA Access uses EA rules rather than Microsofts, and they've got more restrictions on purchasing methods. From their website, it seems that they only accept "select" prepaid credit cards.

It's just my thoughts on it, more anecdotal than anything else, but normally if I buy anything from Microsoft, I get a Microsoft email and a tax receipt from Microsoft, but with EA Access, I just got an EA Access email.

I definitely got a tax receipt for it after purchasing it last week using a debit card.

Huh, maybe I didn't get one because it was a renewal. Ignore me then.

I just subbed for 1 month to try out Star wars and Need for speed.

I went on to xbox.com to turn off auto renew. It was due to expire tomorrow but one of the options was cancel now and get a refund.

Did that and the full E3.99 was put back into my paypal account. Basically got the full month for free. Is this a glitch in their system or something?

Yeah it's been like that for past few months. Surprised they haven't caught on yet tbh

I mentioned that a few months back.
I took out a second sub for FIFA, cancelled really late and got the full amount back.

I do however hold a full year sub on my primary account so even if it worked more than once its of no real use to me.

Makes little sense though if it works month after month, hardly an industry standard.

There's an EA Access members only sale going on since the 15th, with today being the last day.

It's mainly addons for Battlefield and Dragon Age, but NBA 16 can be got for €15 and Bruce Lee for UFC can be got for €3

I did see Battlefront for e45 which doesn't seem too bad if you're mainly a digital buyer.

Not sure was the same % off the same on the US store but it would have made it even cheaper as it was €45.

Yeah it's about a 30% discount on a 1 month old game.
Pretty big discount and I was tempted for a few seconds, but I soon got over it :pac:

Hey lads,

I just got a new xbox and signed up to ea access. I see you can have 10 hour trials of a few games. Do you have to do the 10 hours straight or can you break it up. I heard you can but you need to quit out of the game to make sure the count down doesnt continue. How do you quit out of the game?

Max Mafioso

You dont have to do the 10 straight just make sure that you close the game when you dont want to play or you use up your hours

As far as I remember, go to dashboard, press the menu button while over the game, and then you should have an option to close.

Or, just launch another game. The xbox can only run one game at a time, so launching a new game essentially closes the previous one.

(note: ensure that it is a game you launch, not an app - the Xbox can run multiple apps while keeping the game running or suspended in the background)

Turned to him and said why don't you get ea accuss and Google it for him as for 25 euros a year you get about 12 games incudeing fifa, UFC and titanfall.

He said that each accuss sounds like a waste of money and bought ufc. Jeses people you try help them save money and there not happy ha ha

Bf4 is completely free..you get 10 hours unlimited play on the trial games including battlefront.
Theres like 2 tiers for want of a better description.
Theres the full games you get and the "demos"..not really demos but 10 hours access to the full games.
Well worth a sub to be honest.

Can I say a big "thanks" to this thread? (Well there, I kinda said it!) I know EA Access wasn't conceived here but you lads definitely brought it to my attention. I've had my xbone 3 or so weeks by now and I've yet to buy an actual game as I've been too busy playing titanfall, battlefield(s) etc.

All it's missing for me is one of the Tiger/Rory golf games and if only PES was EA

Best £20 I can remember spending in 25ish years of cultivating arthritis in my hands!

There's a 10 hour trial of the McIlroy game I think.

maximoose

And I'd guess it isn't far off being added to the vault!

How often does stuff go up there? Can we set up email alerts?

I've not checked back in to the EA Access app since my first day, too busy enjoying the cr@p out of titanfall

marcbrophy

Just follow this thread.

One of us here will always post when there's something new being added to the vault or the list of upcoming 10 hour trials.

You could follow @eaaccess on twitter too, but they tend to spam a bit with the auld marketing

Lads i appear to still have an ea access subscription until sep 2016 but when i try to get battlefield hardline in the vault it brings me to store page i think and shows me a few options.. standard/delux etc all with prices..

The standard one is 39e to buy and next to it says 35.99 ea access

I presumed this was free to download as i'm a ea access subscriber??

you have to go into the EA access app to download games from the vault.

yea thats what i did, but when i click install i get redirected to the store?

You get redirected from the EA Access app to the store to complete the purchase. In my case it lists the options Install, a price, game hub.

If you click Install, it should just install at no cost. The price is listed (with 10% Access Discount) in case you wanted to buy it.

Are you seeing different options?

JoyPad

Signed up for EA Access last night, downloaded their app and had a peek at the Vault. However, I don't see all the games they advertise on their site as being in the vault. For example, I saw all the sports games, NFS Rivals, and the two kids games, but no Battlefield, no Titanfall.

I initially thought it might not show any games rated 16 or above, but upon restarting the application, I was given the option to play the Battlefront trial, which is rated 16, same as Titanfall.

Anyone else seen something like this?
