That's stupid. Whatever little interest I had in the game is gone. I wasn't gonna buy R3 new so now I'm not even gonna bother if I have to pay for a pass.


So your telling me, that you were going to buy it for 55$, just to save yourself the 5$, and now you are going to miss out on one of the best shooters of the year, for that? oh the lulz.

One of the best shooters of the year? Oh the lulz.

I guarantee it will have a sub 90 metacritic score.


uhh, that makes it one of the best shooters of the year lol. Either way, stop being so cheap and just pay the extra 5$

You are under the assumption that he isn't a good buyer, within two months I could get any game at 60 for 40 (Normal Trend plus or minus 5 bucks), and within 6 months for 30 (plus or minus 5 bucks), within a year depending on the supply and demand of the market maybe even less. People have to stop assuming the market is gamestop and that is it.

However with a pass system this formula still happened. First week it saw copies for $50, but with the online pass it is practically $60. When it was 40 in a couple of months it was actually 50. Now it is sitting around $30-40 (which means that isn't that much cheaper using normal trends) (didn't bother checking anymore since Steam deals rule).  

This is a bad move by Sony for customers (Business wise this is the smartest move sony has done in awhile), I typically don't resell things, but I like having the option that they are still worth the value I paid for. (Edit: I mean that the are still retain a decent trade in value). 

Having said that I am getting the 3DTV with Resistance 3 (I really don't have an option in the game selection it seems, maybe I could sell the game with the code. 

Add: There is one thing Sony could do to really screw this up (in relations to how EA does it). Sony could try to kill the renting market....something EA didn't do (you can try online free for a week for all EA pass games). If sony does that, I would really lose respect for them.
