Sony announces PSN Pass Program
Similar to EA and THQ Online passes, Sony will be introducing a new online pass for their games. Players will be granted full online access if they buy this pass. We assume this is a jab at the used game market as a way for companies to profit on used games. IGN got the chance to receive some additional information from Sony.
“We are always evaluating new programs for our online offering, and starting with Resistance 3 this September, we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities,” the spokesperson said. “This program will be game-specific. Games that are a part of this program will include a single-use registration code that grants the account holder redeeming the code full online access for that title.
“This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio.”

No, no, no….. Bad stuff. I understand companies need to keep their profits up, but this is terrible news for the consumer.
