G Bass Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sony introducing one-time-use online codes with Resistance 3personally i think this sucks. i won't be able to share, trade or sell games with my friends and family, and this means less new games for me. also, that me and my brother can't ever play the same game online. so, do you support the PSN Pass?

TB_InuYasha_X Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is like that... you have to buy a new copy of the game to play online. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† RazorDan Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm pretty sure some games have had this for a while, paricularly EA ones. I think it sucks, cuz I lost mine and can't play online on FIFA 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Games that are a part of this program will include a single-use registration code that grants the account holder redeeming the code full online access for that title.a one-time-use code that enables online play, bundled with new copies of games and sold separately otherwise.So does that mean we can buy a code separately from the game to enable it if purchased used?

G Bass Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 @RazorDani'm aware of the EA ones, but i never really cared because i don't play EA games, though i might get Dragon Age sometime. i'm kinda disappointed now cause i like the Resistance series, and Uncharted 3 will probably have the PSN Pass.So does that mean we can buy a code separately from the game to enable it if purchased used?yes. so if you buy Resistance 3 later on used, then you'll have to buy a code, unless you don't plan to play online.

usrevenge Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 honestly i dont mind, as long as it isnt ridiculous, like needing it for single player games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well then, it really just depends on how much the code will cost to whether I'd be alright with it. If I saved $10 by going used, I'd be fine with spending $2 to $3 for the code if I wanted to go online with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathangel12 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The code will be in the range of 5$ most likely.I think it's fair as long as they manage the servers better because of it. To be it seems like a server usage fee.I think the next step for online gaming is stopping those ppl who lve games when they r losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Bass Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 from what i've read in other forums (GameFAQs) it's probably gonna be $10 like the EA or Mortal Kombat pass, and probably won't go to server costs. this is the method devs are taking to combat used game sales. the price is purely speculation though.

Shinigami King Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well then, it really just depends on how much the code will cost to whether I'd be alright with it. If I saved $10 by going used, I'd be fine with spending $2 to $3 for the code if I wanted to go online with the game.They will most likely be $9.99 plus tax.Simply because they're in the same category as Add-On packs that introduce new game modes.If I were you, I'd just buy New, or wait a few months and then pick up a Used copy from a Game Haven or Game Stop, because game prices drop faster when they're Used.

xfaxdantex Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 no, i find this stupid cos if u pick up a used game and paying for a pass will cost u as much for a brand new copy, and as someone said u cant lend or trade with friends its just stupid tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 this is just the beginning of the problem. Almost all EA games have codes like this, as does quite a few other games. They are implementing this as a way to combat piracy, the need to connect to the internet to verify your game, EVERY SINGLE TIME. No internet, no game for you sonny jim. The codes are just another way to limit the ability to share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgafan Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Nope. Just as bad as the permanent internet connection PC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zesty Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 From what I've read about this pass it will just be a DLC "unlock key" which can be downloaded unto other consoles just like other DLC is. It helps developers get some money back from second hand sells which I believe is a fair call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 ON PSN, the passes will cost $9.99 exact. You have to remember that there is no tax on PSN, assuming you use PSN Cards to get money in your PSN Account's Virtual Wallet. I am personally fine with this. It helps the companies make some money off of used and rented games. Without these passes, the publishers make $0.00 from pre-owned purchases and rentals through services like Gamefly. Without the money, they can't make more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invalided Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 shouldnt the DLC/Unlock content be in the "View Downloads" section to redownload? Like in NFS Most Wantedi activated the code which let me download the additional contents and i can redownload them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud2003 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 i think it's stupied. so what happens if your PS3 breaks down and you have to get a new one? do you have to rebuy all the games and DLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 i think it's stupied. so what happens if your PS3 breaks down and you have to get a new one? do you have to rebuy all the games and DLC?It's tied to your PSN account which can be logged in from any PS3 I think. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Mushi Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's tied to your PSN account which can be logged in from any PS3 I think. I could be wrong though.Its all in your Downloads List. You can get it again on a NEW PS3, Unless you already Gameshared/Used that PSN on 4 other PS3 Systems. In that case, Your Shit-Outta-Luck on getting it back or on you NEW PS3. Lols. I still HIGHLY disagree with this dumb idea... Im always broke, and who knows when I will wanna play online... That means I have to go buy one of these stupid cards, with money I don't HAVE! Screw you Sony and this idea.. -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
