Sony is joining Electronic Arts, Warner Bros. and other publishers in an attempt to convince their customers that it’s better to buy new instead of used. Beginning with the September 2011 release of Resistance 3, many of Sony’s games will include a single-use code that must be entered for access to their games’ online components. A Sony spokesperson told Kotaku that ”we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities. This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio.” Details concerning how users might purchase one of these passes are to be announced in the future.

Just boycott the games makers. I am sure if 30 million strong would not go out a purchase these games, then they will get the notice not to include those MP codes. This is more the reason for them to charge more. $50 – $60 dollars for a game. That is why I waited for the game to drop down the $20.00 dollars. As for the MP portion of the game, if it works, it works. If it is disabled, then I dont play it period. When more people dont play they will get the point.
But if they make the MP code a purchase of lets say $5.00 to $10.00 dollars as a add on to a used game, then I would be fine with that.
- Concerned for the average user.
Sony continues to show us its determination to destroy itself. Well, at this point I say, “good riddance”. Proprietary data formats they have to bribe the industry to adopt, half-baked online experiences, pitiful developer environment, laughable security – and all of it more expensive than any of the alternatives. I say bring back Sega as the third player in the console space. Sony can go back to making overpriced stereos.
