EA: No Online for Used Games

[Monkeroony]

Yeah games compare is a pretty good site too.

Shopto.net usually has the best days around, I got SASAR 2 days before release by using them too.


I notice that my last post was deleted.

You must have gotten it days before the developers started working on it too  

You see, you should use them too!

It now has been confirmed that UFC 2010 will need an online code to play, found in used games, Ubisoft is also going to do it.

Funny, the companies that do yearly franchises and DON'T deserve the money are the ones doing this. Fuck sake, don't add a few features and charge us 60 bucks. How about 30? Come on.

True. Plus, old sports games were already cheap, but now they'll be effectively worthless.

Thanks for the pollution in advance, EA. ^__^

What pisses me the fuck off is that UFC 09, the first one, had SHITTY online. So fucking shitty. Took 10 mins to start a match, so basically no one got online on it. Now they 'FIXED IT' they say, so time to 'force new purcheses'?

Also, reviewers are not allowed to review the online, so their 'scores' do not reflect the online. Bullshit.

How can a consumer trust THQ?

This is similar to something that some states are adopting with home purchases "transfer tax" means they can collect taxes every time a new owner buys the same house.  Total BS.

Is that like Stamp Duty? Either way it sounds like something the NSW state government would introduce.

I don't know stamp duty.

Stamp duty is like a home transfer tax in the UK.
