If the pass is 10$, I think it's fine.

yep exactly, and I don't think this will kill off used game sales BUT (especially if they price the online pass for a low price) it will make used game sellers to reduce the price of their used games, which could be win-win

But if used game prices go down, new game prices should also go down, because people will get less money for their traded games which will make them more wary of buying them at full price. At least theoretically this should definitely happen, just as new car prices would go down if you couldn't sell them used.

I'm not saying this won't be effective in squeezing more money out of gamers per each game sold, but as for total revenue I don't know...
