Sony will apparently be forcing players to buy online services in the form of "PSN Pass" to enable you to get online! and guess what game this will start with?

Resi 3

if you buy the game new (what if the game is a year old, but unopened?) then you will have the online access code included. but buying used games will mean that you have to purchase the pass in order to play online...

no price or other details were listed. sony has charged 15~19$ for these services on ModNation and Socom 3 (PSP). a handful of other game publishers currently using similar pay-to-play systems charge around 10$, so who knows what the price will be.

oh, and expect other Sony exclusive titles such as twisted metal and UC3 to have the same deal.
discuss!!

I don't think this presents an issue for any of us, as we pretty much nab the game ASAP. I know I do, especially for MP titles as seemingly every game deteriorates after a while, so getting in early & playing early is best.

The only problem would be if the code is only redeemable for one account on PSN. That would bother me.
