other possible catches:

-It STARTS at just $4.99 a month (where does it END?)
-"Free" games appear to limited to games they put in the "EA Vault" which is as vague as possible. Will all new games enter the vault? Probably not!
-DLC doesn't appear to be included (but you get 10% off any purchase!)
FWIW, it doesn't make me want to buy an Xbox One.
- smacktoward 12y agoThe "Vault" part sounds a lot like the Disney Vault: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Vault http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Vault ... which is Disney's polite way of explaining why only a segment of their most popular animated titles are available to buy on home video at any given time. Each title has a window of time when it's available for purchase, and at the end of that time, it goes "into the Vault" -- meaning that Disney deliberately stops selling it for several years. This strategy ensures a pop of sales from pent-up demand when the title rotates back "out of the Vault" into circulation again; and, since titles spend years in the Vault, it puts pressure on potential buyers to buy now or potentially lose the chance to do so for a long time.
