SuperTaz Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/02/electronicarts-idUSN1E77106R20110802?feedType=RSS&feedName=companyNews&rpc=43 For an extra $25 per year, fans of Electronic Arts sports titles will be able to download video games three days before they hit stores, a move that should boost EA's digital sales.

HSMagnet Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 lol next they will be adding a fee to be able to access your games when you want to play them.... Quote
injuneer Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Sad thing is, the little sheeple will line up with mommy and daddy's credit card thinking this is the best thing since sliced bread. Quote
Sabrewulv Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 The day I do that is the day I set fire to my computer and stop gaming Quote
kraxus187 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Umm...can't you download digital copies a certain amount of time before release day anyway...you're just unable to play it (if I recall correctly) ?? So paying $25 for nothing extra then.... 2 Quote

kraxus187 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 So how long before the same for the COD franchise then...for $24.99 just to undercut EA ?? Quote
No_Nickname Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 sad that they now care more about the stockholders then the actual people that buy the games. What's next, another raise on game prices??? Quote
HSMagnet Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 sad that they now care more about the stockholders then the actual people that buy the games. What's next, another raise on game prices??? ....you just had to say it.... $70.00 games, here we come Quote
PartyPooper Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 ....you just had to say it.... $70.00 games, here we come If only... Aussies already pay around the $89.00 mark for new releases even though we have dollar parity with the US. Pricks are emptying my wallet quicker than a plumber unblocks a shitter with a toilet plunger. Quote
surfy Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Well only so much I'm gonna spend on a game tbh and if its a choice between rum and a game.. I know which ones gonna win :P Quote
buttscratcher Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 it costs money, it has to be great! People paid for Spectat for Bc2, so why wouldn't EA come up w/ something else for the lemmings to spend their money on? :) ....you just had to say it.... $70.00 games, here we come Think Blops is up to $120 now w/ this last "map pack" butt Quote

buttscratcher Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 last one has ports of CoD:WW maps...... not even new stuff for your dosh Yeah, someone mentioned something about that this morning when we were populating. Treyarch gives each server renter one free token, so have not had to pay for them. We still run a mix of the initial map list, as to keep a full server. Will eventually have to check out the new zombie map though :) Sorry for getting off topic butt Quote
=GoMg=THE__DRIFTER Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Simple, bought / preordered RO2 for $39.95 and the FREE mods will be available. EA, well, no thanks. Same as BLOPS, not for me but I expect people will keep on sending the message its ok. :wacko: Quote
No_Nickname Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Well I used the dr. pepper "Caps for Codes" promo for the spectat stuff whenever I stopped at the gas station Quote
