    Online Passes!! Why?

    Since I have started to play BF3. That game required me to buy an online pass. When I want to play SR3 with some one I have to buy an online pass. I just don't understand this!! Why should I spend more money to play online?

    I think they are stupid, because the system actually punishes consumers for choosing to save money, buying used copies of a game with the online pass feature or trade in the game towards the purchase of other games for the future. In the case of trade-ins, the fact that a player must pay an additional fee in order to activate the online features for a used copy of the game makes it almost impractical to trade it in because some stores may be unwilling to buy back games that utilize the online pass feature. In addition, a consumer who buys a new copy of a game with an online pass must spend their time inconveniently activating the online pass before getting to play the game online.
    I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

    @iPR3D4T0Rz is right. Wait Until the next gen of consoles come out. It will be even worse. Gamestop cash cow of buying used games and reselling them will come to a end. There going to try and make to were if you want to play a game you will have to buy a new copy instead of a used one.
