I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I didn't see anything and please be kind to just mod alert it.

I work at GameStop and saw a memo today. Apparently, all EA and I think Ubisoft games that have online multi-player modes are going to come with a one-time code that are tied to your gamer tag or PSN account to play online. If you buy one of these games used from GameStop or off a friend for example, you could pay as much as $20 to jump in on the online access even after you already paid for a used copy. The cheapest I saw was $5 They're essentially making it like PC games with serial numbers.

I personally think this is ridiculous, but they're trying to make money off used sales I guess. It makes sense from a business standpoint, but I can't stand that you can't bring a game over to your friend's house unless you want to import your gamer tag or PSN name while you're there.

UFC 2010 is the first game to introduce this. What do you guys think?
