(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 see what you are saying. Not sure yet what will happen with DLC. But I would assume you could still buy DLC, but not play with it online.

I get my games new, so no problem... Btw, to all who say you're switching to xbox, xbox live is paid, and that's why they can offer some of the services PSN doesn't have. PSN is already doing fine, and it isn't even paid. If PSN was paid too, Sony probably could have the ability to give us a better online service.

Will this give us a better online experience like Xbox 360? If not I'm might go back to it.
