Man I wish basic origin access was eligible too. I really don't wanna pay 100$ per year for a service I'll barely use outside BFV. 25$ is totally affordable though.
When I first heard that they were removing premium, I honestly didn't think they'd replace it with a more expensive service. Pretty dissapointed, but meh I preordered so I'll just wait and play on 15th.
I just took it to play BF V earlier and cancel straight away the premium in a week or so

edit: but I already have Deluxe so I wont be affected further down the road
I just played 10 minutes and in order to do so I had to go into the web store (not the Origin client) here https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/battlefield/battlefield-v then manually add it to my account (despite already having the preordered one in my library) and then upgrade the game. After that I was forced to upgrade my GPU driver to the latest version and then I was able to play.

good tip, got 10 fps at low settings even, in beta I played 60 easily. Upgrading now
You pay your 15$ when you sign up for Origin Premier Access and it lasts for a month (if you pay by the month). You can cancel any time but should have access through the end of the period you paid for (that's what it said when I signed up). Your XP should carry over if you later buy the game, but I have heard conflicting info about extra stuff (like supply drops, skins, etc) that you have access to from Premier (gives you access to the Deluxe version of the game) if you later on buy the standard version of the game.
Since I'm mostly interested in 'early' map access I'm fine with it.

my guess is the "free" stuff from the deluxe is dropped when downgrading from deluxe to standard and any progress on other skins/ unlocks/ xp etc is saved.
That would be normal and sane
Where do you see the 10-hour timer on Xbox? And does it countdown while you're in a round or in the menus as well?
Just when you log back into the game. There will be a message that says; you have xx hours remaining.
doesnt matter, click the game and you can still play (on PC at least). There's a message you have to "upgrade" in Origin, click that, then you can play

He’s speaking of ea access on Xbox. Specifically, the timer.

oops, sry, not x box here, is it not possible to click on the timer or anything?
O any other account options that can be manipulated?
Reminder that if you are on Xbox to manually go into the client and QUIT after playing each time. There have been instances where the clock keeps ticking even though you're not playing the game.

You can only see the timer when you launch the game. I wish that EA would provide a timer within the game.

I waited two extra hours for it but by God was that Prologue worth it. Shame no Aussies servers were running at 2am lol
