No shock as Online Pass confirmed for Battlefield 3
The news was confirmed by DICE designer Alan Kertz on Twitter. When pressed on the reasons for the decision, he said that the decision to use the system was “because servers cost money, and used games don't make developers any money”.
Those who buy a pre-owned version of the game will be able to buy an Online Pass for around £8.
Its predecessor, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, included a VIP pass that could be redeemed to access additional content on the game disc that was otherwise locked.
The last high-profile EA release to not include an Online Pass was Portal 2, and before that Crysis 2. But these games were published under the EA Partners label, meaning their developers were free to opt-in or opt-out of the scheme.

TacoElite Just a scam to make more money. Needing to pay for for server space. lol. So if there is 100 BF3's and someone sells it to another person, its still one copy and one player. Not like there will be 101 people playing instead of the original 100.
Don't leave school yet your punctuation Is terrible besides It was CoD that started the whole lets charge extortionate prices. If you knew how server backbones worked you wouldn't think it's a problem granted they get nothing from pre-owned games, what makes it worse is that all stores pay peanuts which they turn and sell It for four times the profit.
The only ones I can see crying about it are those that can't afford it for example a lot of pre-owned games are resold at about 90% of its price for a new game.
To finish off the game is worth it having played both the Alpha and Beta builds the whole time they were active on pc.

TheBrownGuy This is WACKIf you're planning on buying the game new no worries. every new copy will come with an online pass, if you're looking to buy this used better wait a few days for someone to trade it in and then buy the online pass separate.

No its not, because servers cost money, and used games don't make developers any money CoD is wack for picking sh it host and lagging. Battlefield has servers and no lag or hacks.
