That feeling you get when you buy a game used and it happens to have an unused Online Pass code inside it.

You beat the system :P

Online pass isnt that bad but they really need to give atleast 2 codes for each copy so that 2 people can play online and a 3rd person will end up paying. why da f**k would i need to pay when my brother has BF3 already?

The feeling you get when there are no online passes at all is even better.

All that renting and buying used games is destroying the industry. Good for them to force consolites to not buy used games.

I don't see why Online Passes can't be used like PC Passcodes.

I hate the one time use thing I mean you already bought the game why should you rebuy it just to play it?

While I am not a fan of Online passes. I've found that with the exception of ME3, and Gears 3 I haven't had a desire to use any of them yet. Most of the games that have online passes have crappy online anyway.

I remember one time that I bought Resistance 2 used and there was a code that would give me all the DLC for the game. The codes worked, now I get the entire Resistance 2 package and Sony/Insomiac Games don't get my money. Well, its not like I didn't buy Sony stuff used. I got their system and some of the games new (who buys systems used?).

I've never had that happen to me. Online Passes are the worst thing this generation has in my opinion, even beating motion controls and DLC. I just despise publishers playing the system like this.

I dislike how online play is tied to a single account. I want to have full freedom to do as I please with game I paid for. Plus inputting code is a hassle. Back in January and February I used multiple accounts to play Gundam Extreme VS(import). Japanese people aren't as lenient on who can play on their player match lobbies depending on your skill and win/loss ratio. To Improve and learn how to use other characters I made alternate accounts to play rank. Doing this helped improve a lot. Now I can just play on player match lobbies without getting kicked. Player match lobbies are better than rank matches cause rank matches takes too long to play just for one game. If this game had online pass I couldn't improved the way I did.

I reckon a online pass should be connected to a Ps3/Xbox instead of a single account Besides that,Ive no issues with it.Its just companies trying to recoup some losses from used games sales

How is it a scam? You don't have to pay anything extra if you bought the game new.
