If you love playing video games especially EA Sports games you will want to pay attention to the companies new plan. Starting with the June 8th release of Tiger Woods 11, all future EA Sports games for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will include a one-time, game-specific Online Pass code, which grants access to online services, features and bonus content. There is a catch though which should not come as a shock to gamers.
While the code comes free with new copies of any EA Sports game, it can only be used once. Buy the game used or even just rent it through a service like GameFly and you'll be unable to play it online beyond a free seven-day trial period, unless you cough up $10 for an additional Online Pass. This according to the company is to provide more services for the user. The bottom line is with the economy struggling the company is using the online model to make money. Everyone does it and sports games have many users so it's a natural progression for them.
