Forums - Sony - PSN pass is already existing.

If there is something that amuse's me, is that every Website is saying 'Resistance will introduce..' the PSN PASS.

And thats just toootally wrong. the Pass was introduced exactly  1 Month ago, with the European Release of White Knight Chronicles 2, but was overlooked because of the Games bad sales.

just wanted to inform, because the lack of knowledge is kinda.. crazy with this. o_o



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

who cares, its a shitty move either way. But w/e I only buy new games, but sucks for many friends that buy used games.



yeah but that was publisher specific

now psn pass will be there for all titles



Used game sales wouldn't be so bad if there was a separation, I'm sick of the fact every time I go into a store like EB take a new game to the counter the first thing they do is to check if they have a used copy and then try their damnedest to sell it to me a customer who didn't want it.
Do I see used cars sitting in the new car showroom with the sales people recommending the used equivalent ?

I am not a fan of the "eliminate used games sales" and dont like the idea but i am surprised at how much anger there is about it. Maybe its the fact that sony are a console maker and therefore will implement this eventually in all their exclusive games. personally it wont affect me much as i mostly buy/rent games for the SP rather than the MP.

Its really a matter of choice - buy used and only have the SP campaign or buy new and get the online component.

If my recollection is correct Immsomniac said it is aimed at select premium titles , and to me that sounds like  code for Sony firstparty and in the case of resistance 3 sony owned IP .  Other publishers like EA can do the same whether it is under Sonys banner i don't know but knowing EA 's past record, they like to control their stuff so i expect they will have their own online pass branding.

Publisher specific? Sony published the game in EU... so yeah it's still a PSN Pass, lol.

This really doesn't bother me at all, I always buy games new as much as I can, the only time I won't is if I can't find a new copy or if the price is like, dirt cheap used, lol, and that isn't too often.

yeah but only for specific titles which they wanted to apply on

its upon the publisher

like EA

 

activision don't

 

now all will follow

except small titles where they would not be able to achieve sales



I only buy games new anyways so it doesn't bother me. As long as a pass is available for 10 dollars or so I don't see the big deal.

yeah its like activision can charge anything for COD and get away with it,meaning they can charge a bit higher and in more ways than other games can

for small titles,they won't cause they want to make awareness of that title whether used or new,as many people could play it.if the samll game brand explodes then they will charge for that too
