The bundle's Madden NFL 16 download code won't go live until the public launch date, Aug. 25, so buyers of the package won't have unlimited access to the full game until then.

They will still have their 10 hours of trial time..

On the 20th of August, members of EA Access, get 10 hours of full access to Madden 16.

The game code in the bundle is basically a license agreement, if you downloaded from Access.

OK 3 things.

The perk is that you get the game for free...I called that a huge perk

The second thing is that they could have released it on the 25th but that would negate the FREE EA ACCESS that they are also giving you...Also a great perk

Third is that by giving you the FREE EA ACCESS they allow you to play the full game for 10 hours starting 5 days early.

Seems to me you getting great perks....

If you already have EA access does this 12 months get added to your subscription or is this only for new EA access subscribers? Yes...I am thinking of getting a 2nd Xbox one with bigger hard drive.......then I'll sell my original after everything is up and running.

My Amazon Bundle order is in Columbia, SC, and will be at my home by 8pm tomorrow...

Today I received my Eddie Lacy jersey, Packer cap, Packer Yearbook and the Sports Illustrated "Special Commemorative Issue" with Brett Favre on the cover..

Getting ready for some FOOTBALL !!!!

My biggest issue is why send me the system 2 days before i can play the game. why not have the bundle delivered on the 20th. I was thinking since I ordered the bundle i might get a extra perk of playing early... a little disappointed.

Really? I cannot understand why this would be disappointing. You get a free game, free access to play the game early, and oh yeah you can download and play all of the other EA games in their vault for free in the meantime.

Your not getting anything for free. You're still paying $400 for the console.

I can go buy an x1 today for $350 and get Madden next week at bbuy for $47.99 with my gcu discount. So sure I'm getting a year of ea access for free and a bigger hdd but pretty much every x1 you can buy today is packaged with some type if game (halo or assassin creed).

Point is that we are allowed to buy a console on the 18th and its advertised we get a full game download. Not buy a console on the 18th but must wait till the 25th to play the free game it came with.

All of this is just speculation we won't know anything till it's confirmed tomorrow.
