It is the only way currently to really differentiate between buying new or used.

Well maybe in the future there will be tech in the discs themselves to facilitate that. It was one of the rumors about the next consoles that thankfully died off a bit. Hell Sony wanted to basically do this on the PS3, but the backlash was so heavy when it got talked about that they didn't do it. I think there are multiple patents floating around that indicate the console makers are trying to do this in the future, I pray not this console cycle though.

Or for the simple fact if I have another PSN account that I use and pay for things online with, I can't use the item I purchase because the game only recognize the pass for the first name I registered on. That's how I'm penalized. Because back in the day I didn't have to deal with this absurd nonsense.

The consumers are losers in this situation. And if anyone told you otherwise they're in denial or Corporate Apologist.

I agree with you here completely. For me the biggest hassle is not being able to switch PSN accounts. It should at least be an online pass system wide for the system it was enabled on. Now at least on the PS4 you will be able to bring your online account anywhere, some progress at least.

It's a short-sighted shrewd business practice.

We the gamers/consumers let them get away with it.

Sites like this one (community driven) should be up in arms about stuff like this. New precedents are being set (ones that are unfavorable to us the gamers/consumers) at an alarming rate.

I hate that this industry has been completely taken over by fortune 500 executives.

Re: Online Pass for MLB 13 The Show

The online pass is system wide..for MLB the show 12 I played on two separate accounts on same system CWSJ and EBZ-CWSJ..

It's like that for me with all games that require online pass

I dunno about on another console though as I've never tried to do that

Re: Online Pass for MLB 13 The Show

im pretty sure it does come with the code as a download. i read on the pre-release(download) thread other members spoke of having it as a download along with the game.
