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, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Australian and NZ Xbox One owners will pay AUD$6.99/NZD$6.99 a month or AUD$39.99/NZD$39.99 a year.

 

We'll have more on EA Access as soon as it launches.

and SONY rejected their offer. 

We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,” a Sony representative told us via email. “PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”

Our Take
While EA Access might not be coming to PS4, I wouldn’t necessarily count out the publisher’s games in PS Plus. There is still value for EA there, especially as those free-with-membership games have great potential to move the needle for DLC that has long since dropped down the sales chart.

This also doesn't mean that Sony can't change its mind later. If demand is great enough and value increases, EA Access could migrate over down the road. For now though, this is a clear statement that PS4 players shouldn't hold their breath for the program.

I still think it's a great deal. Five dollars a month isn't nothing.

Can't wait to see the Wii U games available.

Remember when trials of games used to be free? Aha... Those were the days.

Wish we had some kind of subscription option like this for the virtual console instead of having to buy each game individually.

You still have to buy the games individually.

This would be the equivilent of paying 5 bucks a month, to get demos of wii u virtual console games, and sneak peek videos a week before release.

EA conveniently hasnt even remotely come close to describing what this vault is, what will be in it, or what 'access' to it entails.

Not that it matters, silly ponys the internet over are all ready forgetting about the size 11 bungholes EA just got done giving them and are bending over and spreading their cheeks en masse, leaping at he chance to give ea complete control and give up their consumer rights.... And PAY FOR IT.

Just when I thought things could actually start changing...
