now i understand why EA drop the online pass thing... they dont need it no more... LOL

this means no used games right?

No, this means it will be handled more like Sonys first party games on the PS3 / PS Vita today. Games like PSABR, LBP Vita, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3 and a lot more already include an online pass. You can buy these games used, but you need to pay an extra fee to the publisher to play the game.

Sony blocks multiplayer or other content of the used game today. MS blocks the game completely.

I would not be surprised if Sony goes the same way like MS with the PS4 though.

 

But it doesn't bother me. I haven't bough a used game since Fifa 2001 I guess.

I am sure as hell the MS pass to play just the game (even single player) will cost way more than 10$, maybe between 25$ and 40$
Also I think Sony will let publishers decide if they want to do this used games blocking, I'll vote with my wallet.
