I wouldnt consider 5 dollars a premium though. Shoot, the week before release there will be people willing to pay 20-30 dollars more than retail to get the game early. I see Access as no different than that.

Didn't realize it was only $5 lol.

I sit corrected.

No, they want people to buy subscriptions to that service..and they did.

Well, it's not just for this game plus you get full games for free to play as well.

To me it's a good investment. I wish it was like before where you would have it from Friday till Monday but I'll take this as well.

To me 6 hour full version > demo, easily.

6 hours is fine with me. I just need a game or two to see if it is worth the upgrade over a free FIFA 14 via EA access.

With so many great games out there, it is going to have to be an obvious upgrade for me.

I'm assuming it is limited to six hours to curb the possibility of gamers either 1) getting their fill and deciding not to buy or 2) Finding gamebreakers and glitches, then spreading them to the community. That may seem unlikely or a small number, but with the way FIFA moves, if only 1/2 of 1% are negatively swayed by pre-release impressions, we are still talking millions upon millions in lost revenue for EA.

The time limit deal kinda had me PO'd at first, but I got over myself. Overall Access is good value at 30$ even without the trials, I just kinda consider them a bonus.
