ONLINE PASS FOR MADDEN 11

Quote:
Online Pass rewards game owners with a game-specific, one-time-use registration code for online services, features and bonus content. Each title-specific Online Pass may be used with upcoming releases of EA SPORTS simulation games on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, beginning next month with Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 11. The one-time Online Pass registration code comes included with each unit sold new at retail. Once redeemed, additional Online Passes will be available for $10. Fans also may sign up for a free 7-day trial to experience Online Pass. International pricing will be announced within territories in the near future.

Peter Moore must be thrilled.

I don't know what this is exactly, but I don't think I like it. I will NEVER pay for anything not included with the original purchase.

Re: ONLINE PASS FOR MADDEN 11

It is included if you buy new. If you buy used, you just have to hope you get it included, same with rentals. Mass Effect 2 was the first game to do this (also made by EA).

Edit: And yes, Peter Moore is probably over-joyed by this news.

However, in an interview now posted on the EA Sports site, Andrew Wilson, senior vice president of worldwide development was more direct: “In order to continue to enhance the online experiences that are attracting nearly five million connected game sessions a day, again, we think it’s fair to get paid for the services we provide and to reserve these online services for people who pay EA to access them,” commented Wilson.
really now?

people wonder why some seem so frustrated with EA......this a pretty good example.

Re: ONLINE PASS FOR MADDEN 11

They are doing this since they don't get anything from used game sales so I don't see how anyone can get mad at them for this...

I mean I don't like it but again, I understand why they are doing this.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see all game companies do this someday.

what if you want to rent the game to see if the online play is stable enough for you personally, before paying $65 for it?
