(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, so I saw a few threads on here about the PSN Pass, but it seemed to me that people were confused on what the PSN Pass really is. So mods- please don't close this thread.

-PSN Pass is a code you will get in games that you enter in one time only so you can play online.

-You get the code for FREE if you buy the game NEW.

-If you buy the game used, then you have to pay a $20 (not yet confirmed) fee to get the code ONLY if you want to play online.

-Not all companies will participate in this! They can choose to do this IF they want to. EA is already on the list, that's a fact, and Ubisoft (creators of the popular series Assassin's Creed) as well.

-GameFly is going to lose a lot of users! I really liked GameFly, I am cancelling my subscription this month

-So if you want to buy your games new, don't worry about it, you don't have to pay any extra money to pay online. You just enter the code, and you're done. If you want to lend your game to your friend, they can't play online unless you give them your system, or unless they buy the code.

-This will take effect September 2011.

-Hope I cleared up some information!

-Sony: :yuno: make online free? If I had to choose whether to pay online for Xbox or PS3, I'd choose Xbox. At least there you actually get something! (Cross game chat, voice IM, and a better online experience).

:FU: SONY!!!!

I really don't care over which console the pass is for.

I just care for how much of a crock of shit this is since it even exists in the first place.

inb4 Ps3 users get Xbox

There is nothing wrong with buying used. Just because someone buys used doesn't make them cheap. And so they gave us free games, that's nice of them, but seriously, $20? That's insane! I know it'll stop pirated games and all, but $20!?!? I wouldn't mind $5 or $6. But charging $20 is very cheap of them to do. Why pay $20 for every game, when you can pay only $50 or $60 a year for Xbox Live? For all of your games?

And just because I gave my opinion doesn't mean I am a bad or stupid person. It's a**holes like you that think if it doesn't agree with your opinion, then it's wrong. Grow a pair would ya? You're calling me a kid? What you just said makes me think you're eleven. And so what if there are kids on these forums? They can play games too! Seriously, quit being an idiot and try and become reasonable.

That has nothing to do with Playstation.
Also, anything can be hacked.

Nope, unfortunatley it's linked to your system

Its the same with xbox. You will have to pay for xbox live and the code. So don't start whining about ps3. Also the code only works for one account.

Anything can be hacked, but Sony didn't even take precaution by updating their security, and this could have been avoided if they did.

And, that has nothing to do with Playstation?

You sure? Go back to the article and re-read it.

The pass will be on the PSN account. If they put it on your system, it wouldn't make sense, they aren't stupid I presume.

If lots of game developers decide to do this, I will get an Xbox. I buy most of my games second hand, and having to pay £20 for an online code for each game would be stupid. For the price of 2 online codes I could get a 1 year subscription to Xbox Live!
