I always said the 2nd hand game trade was far worse then piracy.

[Kreij]

Really? I will test this theory when I get home. I have UFC Undisputed 2010, but I dont have a 'key'.

Here a little more info ....

EA has already implemented it, Ubisoft is considering it, and now THQ has introduced a charge for playing used copies of its games online.

This will have to be called Project $5 though, as THQ has stated that copies of UFC Undisputed 2010 that are sold used will require the buyer pay an additional $5 for online access. The official statement from THQ says:

The main enhancement of UFC Undisputed 2010’s premium online content is the new “Fight Camp Mode” in which players can assemble ranks of up to 40 people and train together. This is a significant value-add to the game as players can continually improve their skills by training with their friends and bringing teams of MMA specialists together.

This multiplayer content for UFC Undisputed 2010 will be available via a one-time code included with the game at purchase. Codes for accessing the content will be available for second-time buyers for an additional $5.

THQ also states that details as to how to get a code for a used copy of UFC will be available on the community site for the game. Unlike EA, there is no word on a 7-day trial period being available.

Again seems to be just PC gamers who are getting screwed then here or not ?

 

[HossHuge]

Governments need to get involved to stop this B/S. If I buy anything from a car to a DVD, is the original maker of the product going to get money from me selling it to someone else?

They are making people want to pirate games.

 

[HookeyStreet]

they say that if someone buys it and returns it not working, they hunt down the person who sold it to them and get their money back.

however, half the time its people who do a runner to a new town or whatever, and cant be contacted by the time some idiot actually buys the games from them.

LOL, they dont have a leg to stand on.....thats whay its so funny ripping them off (the shops like Cash Generator and GAME I mean)

Soon they will start charging for single player. And BAAMM! Everyone will be using pirated games.

Used/Rented games ... the BS begins!

Nice way to screw over the rental & 2nd hand game trade.

[newtekie1]

*puts on reading glasses* I think its says something about confirmation and UFC undisputed 2010 and something to do with a code and XBOX live.

LOL, its fixed now

 

[InnocentCriminal]

It says...

UFC Undisputed 2010 requires a code to access Xbox LIVE features. A code is included with every new copy of UFC Undisputed 2010, or is available in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Would like to redeem or purchase your code now?

... so, where are you going to go from here Hookey?

 

[sweeper]

Well that sucks. If you buy the game used or rent it then what?

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Well that sucks. If you buy the game used or rent it then what?

You can't play the game online without having to buy another code - is that right? Fuckin' consoles are dumb.

 

[HookeyStreet]

Im going to write a stern letter to my local MP

Well that sucks. If you buy the game used or rent it then what?

If you buy the game 2nd hand or rent it, you need to spend an extra $10/£5-£10 to play the game online

You can't play the game online without having to buy another code - is that right? Fuckin' consoles are dumb.

I bet they start doing this with ALL titles soon. Console and PC

 

[n-ster]

like EA's 10$ thing to play online?

 

[HookeyStreet]

like EA's 10$ thing to play online?

Yep, correctamundo

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Im going to write a stern letter to my local MP.

If you do, I wouldn't be surprised if they went to the Daily Mail and collaborated a story about the violence in the game and how it'll turn you into a criminal that smokes weed and not your actual issue with EA being greedy fuckin' jerk offs.

 

[sweeper]

That's BS!!!!!! First X-BOX makes you pay a yearly subscription to go online and now they want more money to play the games online. WTF?

 

[Kreij]

I told you Hookey

Expect to see this from all publishers soon.

 

[DannibusX]

I got in an argument with my best friend about this last night. He thinks it's a good idea, I think it is not.

Screw all that.

 

[HookeyStreet]

If you do, I wouldn't be surprised if they went to the Daily Mail and collaborated a story about the violence in the game and how it'll turn you into a criminal that smokes weed and not your actual issue with EA being greedy fuckin' jerk offs.

LOL, sounds like fun

That's BS!!!!!! First X-BOX makes you pay a yearly subscription to go online and now they want more money to play the games online. WTF?

Its not MS m8, its the game publishers. Its going to happen on the PS3 and possibly the PC too.

I told you Hookey

Expect to see this from all publishers soon.

I hate you

Yep, they will ALL being doing this very soon

PS: who edited the title? Yours is far better lol

 

[Kreij]

I edited the title, it was a little light on description

As soon as one publisher finds a cash cow, they are all quick to follow suit.
Can't really blame them, they are businesses after all. (shrug)
I don't play online or buy used/rental games so it does not effect me, but it still sucks.
Especially for rentals.

 

[n-ster]

tbh, it isnt such a bad idea

 

[HookeyStreet]

tbh, it isnt such a bad idea

You joking? Or just uber rich that you buy every title full price or never rent? Remember what you just said when they try this shit on the PC gamer!
