Thought I posted the thread. I also agree with you with the 10th. But Origin for months said 1st. Just getting home. On laptop now. We post links in the this post.



Reddit 1

Reddit 2

So I think the 8days from August 9th not 10th is the correct math. Why we end up with the August 1st date? My origin says August 1st also. I'm buying outright now, lets see what happens.

Because Origin goes by eastern time zone so it's 11pm that night, instead of midnight on the other platforms which is the 10th.

Only the Hall of Fame Edition through Origin Access Premiere is 8 days early.

It says 11 AM EDT.

Read the links or looked at the image?

Edt: Preloading now. Says August 1st still. No time in Origin just 8/1/2018.

MY origin app and website as well as the EA Sports website all say the 2nd so yeah I don't know, the image I posted is from EA's site not reddit.




Did you do the $15 for one month or $100 for a year?

No, 10th.

That is where this image I posted is from:

Scroll down just a bit and you'll see the above image that says play on the 2nd.

That's for standard edition, we're talking about the 8 day early access through Origin Access Premiere.



Alright I did the $15 1 month of it and pre-loaded so we'll see tomorrow I guess.

Well it's not bad, some bugs and shite but gameplay isn't as bad as in the videos.

It's more or less the same game as console and the same game as last year.

I wouldn't pay $60 for it.

I'm about to jump on. Just getting home.

Didn't look at any ratings. Hopefully they treat my Steelers good.

Yeah but I like having the streaming option and on the go. Can play on my laptop when not at home.

What about if you don't have another console to buy it on?

If you haven't played it in years and just want to get the fix/experience then go for it.

Otherwise it's the same shite it has been for years with updated rosters.


But instead of dropping $60 on it I would suggest dropping $100 on the Origin Access Premiere for 1 year so you get BF5 and every other game included for a year. Plus all their other titles.

I'm moving back to the BTR area from New Jersey next month. It has been a good 15 years since I have lived in your area. Any ideas what I can expect for internet speeds in the Denham Springs area? Only thing I'll miss about NJ is this $65/month fios gigabit connection.

Att fiber may be out there. If not, it's probably 300/30 from Cox

I love off Juban in Denham, they were putting in the fiber in our neighborhood about 6-7 months ago I think.

We have been with Cox since we moved out there in Oct '16. Outside of it being out for the flood for 4-5 days, it's been really solid with no problems at all. We pay for 300/30 but when I run speed test I get almost 375/30 each time I run it.

We use their modem/router which kind of sucks, but I don't have a whole lot to complain about with their internet tbh.

Thanks for the replies. Looking forward to seeing how well my PC handles the change of climate. This mitx setup is going to break a sweat

I am for sure. Will still probably need to make some of these custom fan curves a little more steep though. Headphones are a great mask for fan noise

What PC forums you guys frequent these days? Just Reddit now and a few older ones?

I'm having a hard time finding a main/home with the decline of AnandTech's forums and within the last year OCN was sold to the highest bidder. A lot of the newer high traffic forums don't see the activity and community engagement with enough frequency.
