HELL IS HERE
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.

Great, first they take away other os from us, and now free gameplay, the main reason people bought the ps3 rather than xbox is because IT HAD FREE ONLINE, Hope fully it will only be applied to some games and not games such as mw3,bf3,tekken x streetfighter, etc other wise it's xbox for me..

It's still basically free if you buy the game new.. It's like a product key from my understanding.. I think they are doing this because most game developers don't make any profit on the used game market.

ya but you got to think how that our problem if they dont make any money on used games when the used games where brought new in the first place buying stuff used is good because not everyone got 40 to 50 pounds to spend on a game these days so to me they should just leave it how it is

True, but if they don't profit heavily that leads to the ridiculous priced dlc, shity follow up games and so on. I do agree with the fact that us ps3 gamers are going to feel it in our wallets. I mean my ps3 is the only system I buy used games for because the discs can take some damage

not going to lie i not brought a game since jailbreaking came out only cod games and they were all new games to and i brought all the dlc but if they made me buy online pass as well with how the ps3 is with the stuff that happen like other-os being taken away and the servers being shit as well and no cross game chat as well and cod games not getting the best of really anything like when xbox get the map pack all the time first and we have to wait for a month after is bullshit to me and then to top it of the welcome back pack which in my eyes was the shit things being given games that i already done and crap movies to just does not seem like the ps3 worth paying for a online pass at all and with the ramous of ps4 come out late next year is there any point make people pay now for a ps3 system that really not to amazing to start of with that just the way i think and ps sorry about spelling not to good at that lol

Don't worry about your grammar or spelling, not a nazi.. Personally I'm just thinking about switching over to strictly pc gaming. Sony won't step up and pay for first dlc rights, I've heard to much about the fact that the ps3 can't honestly handle cross game chat. And m$ well they are overpriced..

All games will probably come with a PSN Pass but can only be used once that way they still make money for the sale of second hand games, I think this is a fine idea, I have no problem with it, I get it for less than half price when I buy second hand I pay like 10euros extra to play online. No problem with me.

if i had the money to go pay for a really good gaming pc i would because there game seem to be really good even tho there really easy to hack to lol just love to hack black ops to but because gayark took all the fun out of cod games you cant do anything at all without being banned for it these days so game seem to be better on pc and ya m$ is not priced right as well even they mess up but there still have good server and even tho they went down for 2 week as well they still try to sort shit out haha
