Question about the online pass

[Amin1992]

Does the online pass work for different accounts on the same PS3, or does it only work for one particular account?

 

[Aldo]

I read on here that it was only for 1 account on your PS3.
So choose carefully.

 

[Amin1992]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I will choose carefully. Choosing not to get it:tdown:.

 

[Aldo]

Why would you need 2 different online accounts for the game?

 

[Amin1992]

My two brothers.

 

[Aldo]

Fair enough. 👍

That stinks. I will play mainly from my mason account but I may want to race online with my GTP account. I will need to make a decision. I wish it activated online for that PS3, actually I wish that companies would dump this stupid online pass.

Completely agree, along with holding back content to release as DLC.

I understand they want to recoup losses from used game sales, but they do it at the expense of new game purchasers.

I agree amin, if the dlc is available within the first month of the game being released then it should have been on the disc as original content.

So how does the online pass work?

I planned to rent the game from gamefly to try out online with my brother prior to purchasing it. Is that not an option?

If you rent the game then you will need to purchase an online pass to play online. I'm not positive but they are usually $9.99

isn't like fifa11 that whit one online pass, all accounts on the same ps3 were activated?

It stinks that you have to have an online pass. This renders trade-ins ineffective really as chances are you won't get a code if the game's pre-owned.

I reckon it's forcing everyone to buy the copy new. New games = More £ and $ made.

That's such garbage, I guess I'll pass on this one then.

 

[Amin1992]

I guess we will find out for sure in a few hours, when the PSN store comes back up.

 

[mcfizzle]

It's not coming up today.

PSN Blog nows says they hope to have the store up by the end of May.

Like strtgng said, it will hopefully be back by the end of the month.

Sorry, I think your all insane to not get this game because of that. Your loss.

I also agree. I do plan on at least renting this for sure, even if I cant play online.
