6 hours but I don't think the full game is open. EA Access is worth it anyway - you get 5 full games with it and a bunch of trials.

[apsham]

Ho shit. I forgot about that. How big is the download?

Ho shit. I forgot about that. How big is the download?

[Dan]

Not sure, 40gb or something. It let me play after about 30 minutes of downloading.

[Dan]

UFC is $20/£12.73 on the US marketplace. It might an EA Access game soon though.

That's what I've been wondering caus it's gone on sale digitally, seen it come down to like £20 on disc on one website the other day...

[thatshortguy]

Definitely a precedent here with Titanfall. It started going on sale via Origin first, then basically became a bargain title. Don't be surprised to see UFC do the same going into the holidays.

[Summers]

So ea access is how much? And what games do do I get?

You guys talk about it all the time, I'm tempted.

[apsham]

4.99 a month or 29.99 for the year. Trial new games before they're out, just like here, and you get Battlefield 4, Peggle 2, Need For Speed, Plants Versus Zombies, FIFA 14 and Madden 25 as of right now. Also discounts on EA DLC and other stuff.

[King Ellis]

£4 a month or £20 for a year. You get discounts on EA DLC and digital titles, trials to some games like we had 6 hours on FIFA 15 before launch and you've got the Dragon Age one ATM. The biggest draw is access to the 'EA Vault', downloads of full titles that you're able to play for as long as you're a subscriber.

Battlefield 4

FIFA 14

Madden 25

Need for Speed Rivals

Peggle 2

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

So long as your internet/hard drive can stand up to the likes of 16gb for NFS, 17gb for PvZ and 37gb for Battlefield. Though, Dan has said that if you have installed them from disc, you can play them without the disc so you could always source a disc from somewhere, install it and just play that way.

[Your Mom]

8%! I want to play Dragon Age damn it!

[apsham]

I think I'm at 2% - boo. You can start at 15-20 or so apparently.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Installing Halo right now!

[Summers]

Battlefield, Madden and PvZ could be worth it tbh. May well do this.

[Your Mom]

Got a free bundle of Sunset Overdrive clothes from a code in my messages. Did everyone who got the bundle get it?

[thatshortguy]

Speaking of Sunset, apparently all One owners will get to play it for free this weekend.

[King Ellis]

I look forward to yet another 20, 30, 40gb download.

Also, I started Crimson Dragon the other day. Not bad considering it was free but I think I had better experience with that sort of game on 360 in After Burner. It just made me laugh here though the leaderboard for the first mission was about 20 people deep from my friends list, the 2nd mission dropped to about 5 and then the third mission was just me and Hughes.

[Dan]

Thanks for being an Xbox One early adopter. To celebrate Year One, we’re giving you LIMBO when it's released. Stay tuned, your free code will arrive here.

Neat.

[King Ellis]

Where do you get that part of it? All I get is a page to download 'a personalized poster' and the other guff like the wallpapers.
