So, I did something today I've never, ever done in the entire 6 years I've owned a PS3.... I bought a pre-owned game. I was about to walk out the store because they didn't have what I was after, but, after being told things I already knew about why buying used is a bad idea, somehow that was all it took to turn me around.
I ask the guy, "Am I going to miss out on anything that would otherwise come free with a new copy?" He said no, then went off rambling about how there's no DLC for last of us. I know it's a single player game, and etc. But something in my gut just said to ask that. Even if it were just to give them a hard time. I knew there was never any DLC that came with that damn game.
But, after I left the store... I remembered something... Online passes... That guy lied, I thought. I knew I was right to ask him. I may as well had bought the game new if I were going to have to pay for the online pass. And where is the manual?! Then, I remembered something... Beyond: Two Souls didn't have a manual either.
But, a few minutes ago, I decided to take that sheet of paper in my case, and put that code in for the online pass. I knew for sure that my efforts would be for not, but, I just had to try anyway just to know for sure. I mean, who would really get this game and not use the online features, right?... right?
To make a short story long, I typed in that code, forgetting that I didn't have to press the X button after every four characters anymore and it came up. The code worked. The disc has no scratches. Just a few prints here and there, and it came with a working online pass?! It may as well had been a new game, as far as I'm concerned.
But, I'm going to be playing this game for the next week. Luckily for me, I was able to forget about the game, and not spoil more than the first 20 minutes of gameplay, so I'm good to go!
How many people really get lucky enough to get online passes, and other DLC that only first time users should have? My last used game I got was wipeout 2048, and it also had a working online pass! I'm 2 for 2!
