I feel that already got my moneys worth.

    Add getting to try the games 5 days early to determine if I want to preorder or not, and if not get to play them free somewhere down the road (likely next summer) where I can then sell the disks earlier than I normally would if bought for a larger profit than waiting until right before release of the next years game...totally worth it.
    I'm not sure why I didn't think about that. Now that BF4 and M25 are in the EA Vault... I can trade both discs in today, get credit for them towards my preorders for M15, NHL15 and Destiny, plus I downloaded Fifa last night for "free". Awesome! The value here just gets better and better. Especially for me with BF4. I can trade it in, keep playing through the vault. Nice!

    I know I'm a bit slow... haha but thanks for that realization!

          Wait until the the 10th to trade in Madden. Check the Madden forum - they are doing a huge trade in offer towards Madden 15

            Same happened for me when selecting the vault...I assume an early bug or something. However you can go directly to the ms store and the free prices (and discounts) show. You can link directly to madden and BF4(though a DLC button) on the main EA Access page.

              Go to your system's settings and update console. Some are seeing it and some aren't. I guess it hasn't fully rolled out for all yet.

                Mine only showed UFC, Fifa and NFS last night. This morning when I opened it up it was showing Peggle, and BF4 and others as well.

                Awesome! Thanks. Hopefully that applies in Canada too.

                  Starting to sound like NFS will be included at launch. That's awesome.

                      Re: Xbox One

                      Do you guys think I'd be missing out on a ton in this year's Madden by doing the EA Access for a year vs. buying Madden new?

                      I never end up playing that much later in the year, but I'd like to have a copy of Madden (and NHL eventually) for when my niece comes over and we play Xbox.

                      I could just do GCU at BB and buy both NHL and Madden, probably runs me 70ish out of pocket. Might be better to just do that and keep both games for a while.

                        M25 didn't blow me away, or seemingly anyone else for that matter. Madden 15 seems like it should be much improved, but that has yet to actually be seen.

                        I got EA access, but I will get good use out of the vault games including selling disks I may have when games are added to the vault, as well as early access to determine if I want to buy the game at launch or hold off for a while with a price drop. I'm messing around a bit in M25 since I haven't played it since January or so. Will use the early access on Madden 15 to see if I want to buy and if so I will with my GCU at best buy.

                        Edit - and you could wait until right before launch of M15 and do a single month of EA Access to try the game early and compare with M25. If you think it's much better then re-evaluate. If not, bump the Access membership for a year.

                          Good points...I guess I'm trying to be somewhat frugal, and not 100% sure how much I'd end up playing other vault games or not. Have to be realistic that I don't game as much as I used to so I cut down on costs.

                            FINALLY was able to afford to buy an Xbox One. It should be coming in tomorrow. Now I'll be able to enjoy my PS4 and Xbox One exclusives!

                              Would really like to see MS and EA have the Mass Effect Collection remastered and placed in the Vault. I wonder what other games they are going to add to the Vault. To get people hooked they gotta add more than what they have.

                              Hopefully they announce this at Gamescom next week.

                                If the ME trilogy was remastered and released for XB1\PS4 then I would be set for a while.
