Hi OzBargainers,

I am not sure if I should post this as a deal or not but you can grab Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - 12 Months for around $92.58 (ING Card) with 3 years of EA Access subs.

I bought 36 months of EA Access from Shopto.net for USD 65.73 (AUD 92.58 on ING)

Microsoft made the confirmation over Twitter, writing, “EA Play members who purchased EA Play through Xbox and join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will have their EA Play membership automatically canceled and any remaining time will be rounded up and converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.”

I found this on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/jhrfxv/reminde…

    Isn't EA access already included in Ultimate now.

    • scamNscoot on 27/10/2020 - 01:14

      From 10th of November hence you can get 3 years of EA Access before it joins the GPU and Microsoft will convert EA Access into 1 year of GPU on 10th.

        GPU

        First time seeing this acronym for Gass Pass. Could cause some confusion for the master race!

  • Mr Snrub on 27/10/2020 - 01:19

    Does it work for existing ultimate subscribers?

    • scamNscoot on 27/10/2020 - 01:22

      Yes, however if you alreday have 3 years of GPU using Brazil hack it won't top it up. Microsoft allows max 3 years of GPU.

    The reddit post clearly summarises it:
    You can get 3 years of EA Play for around $60, this will convert to 1 year of Game Pass Ultimate on November 10th when EA Play gets added to Gamepass.

    • scamNscoot on 27/10/2020 - 01:29

      *Around $60 USD.

    Couldn't checkout at shopto.net with paypal.

    • scamNscoot on 27/10/2020 - 01:51

      I had the same problem ended up using my card directly.

    Why not just purchase the 12 months Gold Live cards off Aussie retailers. No VPN tricks, easy upgrade.

    • mr_me450 on 27/10/2020 - 04:47

      Because 12 months of Gold only converts to 4 months of GPU, so this is a better deal.

      • Lion007 on 27/10/2020 - 08:15

        Actually if you’re a current subscriber, if you let Ultimate expire, you can then do the same trick with Gold - except it’ll charge you $15.95 to convert instead of $1.

        • dv1den on 27/10/2020 - 08:58

          Or you can go buy some pringles if the promo is still on, that's what I did :)

    • Shenannigoat on 27/10/2020 - 07:23

      That would be far better for new subscribers. This is better if you already have a subscription.

      • justtoreply on 27/10/2020 - 09:45

        Just bought gold 36 months via jb hifi.

        Sounds dumb but I load 36 months then somewhere in the xbox dashboard look for a $1 upgrade?

        Don't want to do it the wrong way and stuff it up.

        • Lion007 on 27/10/2020 - 10:57
          +1

          Yes load it up at redeem.Microsoft.com and then you can just go to xbox.com and complete the upgrade conversion

          • justtoreply on 27/10/2020 - 11:00

            @Lion007: Thanks. So all via pc web browser? I wouldn't have thought to do that.

  • VanDammage87 on 27/10/2020 - 06:59

    Has anyone got a link to that Microsoft tweet confirming this?

    Edit:
    Found it https://twitter.com/XboxGamePass/status/1304151280944906242?…

    • netsurfer on 27/10/2020 - 10:12

      Given that it is 3:1 conversion, that seems a lot more work for 1 year.

  • Mr Snrub on 27/10/2020 - 08:57

    Shopto is asking for a lot of deets for a simple digital delivery. Does anyone know if there is a guest option or can we fudge the personal details?

  • AEKaBeer on 27/10/2020 - 09:12

    I want to get this but I'm worried I'll break eula and get the account banned. Currently I have GP for pc and (on the same email address) xbox live gold for my nephew as his child account is severely broken, so we had to use mine.

  • netsurfer on 27/10/2020 - 10:09

    What worries me is this:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/ma…

    When you read the FAQ carefully, it states:

    any remaining time (for EA Play) will be rounded up and converted to the nearest month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a ratio of three to one.

    The table for the answer for one of the questions also matches this.

    Unless Microsoft changes that FAQ page to be 1:1, it is best you don't gamble on this - unless you can get something in black and white that you get 1:1 conversion. It's one thing it interpret a reddit post. Also, when Microsoft did not specify 1:1 conversion in their official twitter post, it is unsafe to assume it is 1:1.

    WARNING: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE confirm it is 1:1 conversion before you start buying EA play. Otherwise, if it is 3:1 as stated in the FAQ, make sure you are okay with that.

      That’s why you buy 3 years to get 1 year as mentioned in the deal…

      • netsurfer on 27/10/2020 - 10:14

        Wouldn't the recent JB deal for XBox Live Gold 12 months voucher be cheaper? This feels like more effort for 1 year.

        • krayl on 27/10/2020 - 11:20

          Yes, if you can find stock. The JB deal is a special Halo promo card, not the regular XBL card.

          • Sawtell on 27/10/2020 - 12:48

            @krayl: and released 3 years ago so you will be lucky to find in store.

  • petry on 27/10/2020 - 12:57

    seems to me the major difference is the lack of expiry on the halo jb cards but that does not necessarily apply to the EA cards

  • SickDmith on 27/10/2020 - 17:14

    Correct me if I am wrong…

    Brazilian "deal" is still cheaper even after the price went up.
    Is it?
