This September, Sony will launch a new program called ‘PSN Pass’–available only, “in countries that have PlayStation Store”. Games that come with PSN Pass will include a registration code that is good for one-time use to enable online play. The first game to make use of PSN Pass program appears to be Resistance 3 (see image above, from Konsolentreff). Obviously, you will have to purchase a new PSN Pass registration code for used games that carries the PSN Pass emblem. Gaming site IGN contacted SCEA for clarification and this is the response:
We are always evaluating new programs for our online offering, and starting with Resistance 3 this September, we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities.
This program will be game-specific. 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.
This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio.
Well i got to say one thing about this how is the fair we pay £40 to £50
for a game then still got to pay to go online how is this fair on people who only have money to buy the game what do you guy think is this right or wrong of sony?
Greedy Bastards
Maybe if they gave things that we wanted I wouldnt mind it so much
LIKEEE Cross game chat or Music in Game, It wouldnt be as bad. But they dont give a living shit about what we want
Yeah there is no way to solve this unless they give out temp passes, even then if you get the used game or rent one, it would be dumb if there is a 1 day or 2 day pass. If they are going to do this they should make 1 week passes I guess.
DO they let you buy the game and a key? Or just the key that comes with the game? Because i can understand that they want to do this so gamesharing wont be possible anymore because u need an online key for that wich u can buy.. But if you have to buy the game AND the code that would really suck balls..
dude this so fuking gay why cant we have the online for free we already paid like 60$ for the damn game now we have to pay another 10-15$ this is so gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Well there goes the one reason I'm still staying with the ps3... Good job sony When they patched the cfw 3.55.. That was a massive bitchslap, now this? They're just nerfing the whole ps community.
