I wonder our companies like GameFly will react to this. IMO, Sony is starting to try to hard.

"ALL titles" are going to this? If Microsoft doesn't follow, that could be huge for them...

So now, every game will still cost 60 bucks. Except we used to get online play with it.

So now, every game will be almost 70 dollars to play online.

That is ****ing asinine. Guess who will continue to pirate your over priced shit? Me.

Well done $ony! WELL DONE! What a way to p!$$ off your "customer base", or what's left of it! Looks like it's gonna be sad times for the gaming industry from a seasoned (mentally competent) gamer's perspective [I might be exaggerating here]

Microsoft already has XBL they dont need to follow

And this is Sonys way of slowing down Piracy-OnlinePlay so in the end we all must pay to play! if this is in Dark Souls im sure as hell paying

But its only effective when theres a method to allow cfw users to play online otherwise its hurting the people who are strictly official firmware

People love to play online and they hate paying for new games for one you cant return it and 2 its costly for some.

So if there buying a game used and they notice they need the online pass to play people will just over look it because its cheep and buy one anyway so a 40$ used game + 10$ Pass + Tax = around the same amount as the game would be new with pass included

Gee makes me want to buy their games already,I'm already see happy families that had to buy another copy just because they bought ps3 to each of their kids and Sony pulls out shit like this,I'm interested who came up with that idea,so basicly they saying screw the preowned games market,buy new or pirate,what a cheap move.

I guess used game sells will go down.

I agree, Well said

EDIT: Also, who's really playing online with cfw now anyway? it's pretty difficult and quite a daring process in itself. For Sony to take this kind of action against a threat that is almost non-existent is quite low. At this point its more harmful then problem solving.. there just going to stop a LOT of online play from happening as this is likely to take a little while to catch on with the common user. I should only hope the Sony worshipers are hit by this as well. are they really as amazing as you make them out to be?
hmmm nah

**rob_1980** · 07-08-2011,05:35 PM

Ok, so this doesn't effect those with cfw anyway lol

If I were really bothered about online play on ofw, I'd buy a pre owned copy, and new copy, use the code from the new copy, return it..keep the pre owned
