Don't really mean to derail the thread but it bothers me when people continue to question what another grown man wants to do with his money. FWIW it's pretty easy to rationalize spending another $5 to get more time. Here I'll explain. If you were one looking to get the game early via ebay, you would spend at least $20 over retail because of overnight shipping. That's with a decent seller. Or maybe you'd travel a distance to get it early, wasting gas. Then you have the people willing to spend even more, like over $100 to get it early. So with this as an alternative, if you spend $10 for 1 month of EA Access, with 2 accounts, not only can you play Madden early, but NHL and Fifa as well. Also BB is offering $25 credit for the Madden 25 trade in, so if I really cared about the extra $5 I'd make it back from that (which I will anyway because it's a good deal). For those who like to play games early because they're busier during the work week, this is a good option. It also saves the trouble of refreshing ebay and checking CL. So if my timer runs out, I really don't have any issue with paying another $5 for 6 more hours. I feel even better knowing it'll still be good to use for the other 2 games in a few weeks. I know I won't need more than 12 hrs. Then I cancel after the 1 month and I will have gotten double early access to 3 games for only $10.

A small, small portion of people are going to do this. I really don't see the big deal but that's just me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
