Wow...ten dollars after buying a used game to access the online. Compare that to what the Xbox one is doing and please give me a decent arugment. After buying a used game for $10-$30 I would be more than glad to pay them for the multiplayer experience and they dont block me from the single player experience.

That's exactly right. Ten dollars AFTER paying for the used game. ie. the FOUDATION to what you see proposed on the Xbox One. Perhaps they saw the Sony consumers accepting it without complaint over say, oh I dunno, getting a used game with FULL FUNCTIONALITY INTACT? Perhaps if there was some backlash by consumers towards Sony, then you would probably not see Microsoft taking the next step with this, but oh no....if Microsoft takes a step then that's terrible, but if Sony does it, then that's some bitchin fuckin wisdom. Are you seriously going to defend that Sony is totally innocent and has absolutely NO intentions of intrusing on consumer's rights?
Your argument holds no water whatsoever, and if anything, it only provides even MORE evidence that Sony will be willing to take similar measures. But I'm guessing that, once again, we'll hear no complaint from the Sony fans. They'll just happily ignore it like PSN pass, because evidently, Sony can do no wrong in their eyes.

You want Sony to be as screwed up as Microsoft. Lets just watch time tell....they have til E3 to open their traps. The Japanese companies have supported consumer rights, not the American ones (MS, EA, Activision). Online passes are a small price to pay for the multiplayer experience. It is not manditory for every game.

You're missing the entire POINT of this. If the consumer accepts a step such as PSN pass, then it's only reasonable that other companies will not only move to meet such a violation of consumer rights, but also test the bounds of how FAR they can go in doing so. You might scold Microsoft for this now, but let's not forget who initiated acts like this IN THIS CURRENT GENERATION OF CONSOLES.
Perhaps if Sony consumers actually took a stand and refused to buy such things, then we wouldn't be seeing them and other companies testing the waters to FURTHER violate consumer rights.
Im going to ask once again, do you REALLY believe that Sony is totally the innocent one in this? I want an honest answer.
