If you still have BestBuy GCU you can get the game at discount, EA sells their PC games physical, which is a box with an Origin code, that's how i got mine. $48 bucks plus tax.

Has 4K/HDR been confirmed for X? If so, i'll be getting it for my OLED. If not, Origin Premier.

Was planning on subscribing for a month but then they revealed the Steam version, I'm getting it there.

I'm not really interested in it because while it gets all these amazing previews it looks kinda bland to me. I can't really explain but none of what I've seen looks exciting (especially the main character who looks like a goofy goober). I am thinking about subscribing for Need for Speed Heat and then I'd end up trying out Star Wars Fallen Jedi because why not. But I'll probably just wait until Need for Speed is super cheap and buy it outright.

Buying it

I essentially get $22 off from Best Buy thanks to GCU ($12 off) and the $10 reward for preordering. It's an Origin key, but not that big of a deal since the Steam version launches Origin anyways.

I'd purchase it...when it goes to 50%+ off eventually.

But these sub base services definitely make an argument to save even more money if you don't care about almost indefinite access to it

Either sub for the month of Premier or buy cheap on Steam. Depends on when I get around to buying/playing it.

My original plan was to get premium and then if I liked it I would pre-order the game on Steam. The issue to that is that this game will not have a one week early release like other premium releases.

So I might as well just get it on Steam, I have doubts that I would be able to finish it in one month anyway. I would also like the pre-order stuff as well.

If the game turns out to be bad I can just refund it on Steam, so problem solved for me.

I did want to sign up for premium ans I likely should have, since it looks like the need for speed game is out right now. And I could have gotten 2 months of the service for the price of one.

Got it on Steam.
Kind of testing the waters to see if any EA games even interest me anymore

EA Access premier for Need For Speed Heat and Star Wars. I'll also check out Madden, PvZ & Sea of Solitude while I'm in.

I would probably keep a sub if they had NHL on pc.

Yeah my plan is to sub for a month then, if really like it, buy on a steep discount. Much easier to justify $15 for a game I'm still unsure of versus buying 3-4x the price and playing it once and moving on.

Normally I'd buy it, but there are too many other games I want to play before things pick up again next April. I'll rent it for $15, then move on.

I have Origin Access Premier, so I'll play it there first. But I also have it on my Steam account too. I'm good to go either way.

Is there a free trial for this Premier thing? I got like 4 months of Game Pass free from a Dell/Alienware thingy (+2 months extra free for signing up for recursive billing, then cancelling immediately). Hoping for something similar here.

20$ vs 80$ (In canada)... Especially for a Single Player game that probably doesn't have a ton of replayability... The decision is easy

I'm super hyped for it tho! Even if, for some reason, it takes me more than a month to clear, 40$ is still cheaper than 80

Wait, i have Origin Premier! So it's like game pass? They release new games on the platform as well, and I won't need to purchase it?

Is Madden on PC? If it is I'll get premier cause I could play a season or two but if not I'll just buy Star Wars on steam.

Edit: it appears Madden did come to PC this year (thought I remembered that) so I'm going to sign up for premier now and play around with it. Can't wait for Star Wars!

Grabbed a month of premier before the start of the month to get that bonus month. Easy choice. As a bonus, I get to play Plague Tale as well.

I've got $50 credit on steam so it will actually be cheaper for me to buy it there then premiere. I dont generally care much for subscription services anyway

I bought it off of Steam. I know I could have signed up for Premiere for a month or two instead, but I don't think I would be interested in the other games. I have enough faith in Respawn to purchase it and maybe want to replay it again someday.

You have Premier yet you don't know what it is?
I never saw NEW game releases on there. Just shit like Crysis 3 and Battlefront. I'm also a wasteful idiot when it comes subscriptions. I just bought the year option, and then never use it. Ahhhhh, unchecked consumerism... I barely even play video games, lol.

I have Basic so I'll try it. If I really really like it, will buy it, if not, I'll wait until it drops there

hmm.. you sure you don't have BASIC and not Premier? Premier gets new games, Basic doesn't.

Origin Access (Basic). I'm not in a rush to play it at the moment, but if I shrink my backlog enough before Fallen Order hits the lower tier, I might pay a little more for Premier.
