So... although I'm signed up for EA Access (for one year), I'm thinking this 10% discount vs. purchasing an actual hard copy of the game isn't worth it... and here's why: 1. Madden is an annual game, granted the resale value of the game drops significantly just before the release of the new title (Madden 16 in this case) but surely I can get that 10% back at that point right? 10% of $60/$70... $6-$7? 2. To top it off...Madden 15 will inevitably become a free game in the vault sometime next year (like Madden 25 is right now) so even after I resell the game, I'll still have a digital copy of Madden 15 (which I'll never play again as soon as Madden 16 drops). You guys have ( M3 Commish, Stodds13, ChaseT66, Corbone56, TheGiant99, Al WH1TE) EA Access... What are your thoughts? |

I actually agree with all those views. For me, I just like the digital DL because I'm not going through the steps of taking the game back and furthermore, not wanting to deal with the hard copy issues - ie, scratches, errors and whatever else pops up. The 30 I spent for the annual subscription does suck especially after knowing what we know now with the access .. But being able to play early even for 6 hours is still ok. I think what I would do next time is do the 4.99 a month and cancel the following Tuesday after I purchase the retail version. [HASH]YouLiveAndLearnIGuess

[HASH]YouLiveAndLearnIGuess For me, selling FIFA 14 back in July for $36-ish on amazon.com (prior to the launch of EA Access) made it worthwhile. Not only did I pay for my 1 year subscription, I also now have FIFA 14 as well (I woulda sold Madden 25 back as well, but I swapped it w/ a buddy for Wolfenstein. In any case, selling back via amazon is pretty easy, all it takes is printing off a label, packaging it & dropping it off @ a UPS store on my way home from work, everything else is done online. I'll try it out this time and reevaluate I guess & you're right, I'll experiment this way & we'll see how it works out. (Truth is I've never bought a digital copy of a game, I'm just old school...I want that disc  ) |

Add this to the little perk to the list of reasons to go digital. |
