EA Access is a video gaming subscription service available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that lets you play EA’s best games as much as you want. Right now, you can get a one-month EA Access subscription for Xbox One for just $4 at CDKeys. This subscription service allows you to preview EA’s new releases before they come out, gives you an exclusive member discount of 10% off on digital purchases, and grants you instant access to a massive collection of EA games. With hundreds of titles to choose from, there are games for everyone included in this service. Some of the hottest titles from EA that are available now include FIFA 20, NHL20, and NFS Heat.

If you’ve been stuck at home for weeks and you’re a gamer, odds are you have blown through a few games already. Whether or not you go through games quickly, if you are looking for some new games to play, EA Access is an excellent way to access some of the most popular titles in the world. EA Access allows you to try the publisher’s new games before they launch. But the coolest part of this perk is that your save progress carries over to the full game if you decide to buy it when it releases.

Along with that impressive feature, you also receive 10% off of all purchases of full EA games, season passes, and DLC with your subscription. Subscribers also get access to expansion packs for popular games like Star Wars Battlefront.

Your access to games remains unlimited as long as your subscription is active, so maintaining a subscription is a great way to keep a fully stocked library. If you have multiple gamers in your house or just like playing various titles at once, the subscription is well worth it. If you wish to check out some new games or try out older games before buying them, having the subscription for a month or two is beneficial as well.

EA does more than just make sports games. It has produced some of the most popular titles for Xbox over the years, including Plants vs. Zombies, Anthem, and Battlefield V. You can also play classic titles like The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, The Sims, and Bejeweled. There are games for people of all ages and skill levels available through EA Access.

Best Xbox Series X and Series S deals: discounts and bundles

Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S game consoles.

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have really come a long way from when they first came out, especially with a lot of support from Microsoft and excellent Xbox Game Pass deals for folks to enjoy. Of course, if you want to pick one up now, it's a lot easier, and there are some good sales and bundles that are worth grabbing, and the same goes for various accessories. On the other hand, if you already have one, then you may want to check out these video game deals, and if you're more of a PS fan, then these PlayStation deals may be more up your alley.
Xbox Core Wireless Controller -- $55, was $65

Whichever Xbox you buy, you get a standard controller but how about having one that shows off some of your personality? Or one that means you can play games on the couch with your buddies or family. That's where the Xbox Core Wireless Controller is so useful. Available in many different colors, you get all the benefits of an ergonomic design with sculpted surfaces and refined geometry for enhanced comfort. Up to 40 hours of battery life is convenient while it connects via Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth so you can use it with your PC, phone or tablet too.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

If you've always wanted to pick up a gaming console but have been putting it off for prices to get a bit better, now is the perfect time to pick something up. With many great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals to pick from, you can grab something for a relatively cheap price. To that end, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals below, including both new and refurbished options where available.
Xbox Series S 1TB -- starting at $330, was $380

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

Stop wasting time: Clean tough spaces easily with Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6

No one likes to clean. Everyone loves having a fresh, clean living space, but the work behind it, not as much. So, if there's any way to make that work less burdensome and inconvenient, most of us will take the help, and understandably so. Tineco, an ultimate purveyor of smart vacuums and smarter lifestyles, has just the answer. The FLOOR ONE Stretch S6 is a next-gen wet and dry vacuum that does it all. Tineco's HyperStretch Technology allows the vacuum to compress to just 5.1 inches and lay flat so you can effortlessly clean under beds, tight spaces, and low-seated furniture. No more twisting your body in strange configurations or poses to reach into tough spaces. Plus, you get a super long runtime of up to 40 minutes, so you can clean most, if not all, of your home in one session.

But it also offers wet and dry mess cleanup, triple-sided edge cleaning to reach those tricky corners and near the baseboards, and enhanced cleaning flexibility. For example, the water tank has been repositioned and is now seated above the brush head, reducing and rebalancing the system's total weight. That makes it more maneuverable, along with new mini assistive wheels. An innovative feature called Flashdry Self-Cleaning uses fresh water, heated to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, to deep clean the floor and surfaces. Sealed drying at the same heated temperature and a powerful brush roller scrub, clean and dry that same surface to make it spotless while also reducing odors. Plus, the three-chamber water system keeps the dirty water away from the clean water and the motor, ensuring it delivers full cleaning power every run.
