I want to get our voices heard to all major and small time game company's to remove the need for an online pass, what is the point in it. people use services like lovefilm, netflix, blockbuster etc and buy games second hand why should we have to buy it brand new or pay extra Microsoft points etc for something we should be intitled to in the first place.

Why change it the old system worked excellent for over 8 years, and now this just to angry the people willing to play and spend hard earned money on your products paying your wages etc. there must be a better way to stop pirate games but affected everyone isnt the way honestly.

    • Online passes are just ridiculous and another tactic for companies to make more money while forcing the consumers to cough up the cash and not realizing they are pushing them away. I already pay for my xbox live subscription which should give access to all online features and I am not and should not be paying for features just because I buy a used game. Simple as that.

    • Online passes are merely just yet another way of greedy developers stripping gamers of their hard earned cash...a lot of people cant afford to buy games brand new - so they're just being pushed to the side, effectively being banned from playing the "games" and ignored...ridiculous. And what about people who lend the games to ther mates, who then decide "Oh, this is actually a great game....now I want to buy it to play online with my mate". It's not about covering costs like they say...it's only about more $$$$ for their back pockets...

    • ONLINE PASSES ARE DESTROYING GAMING!!! COMPANIES DONT LOOSE MONEY FROM USED GAMES BECAUSE A USED GAME HAS TO BE BOUGHT NEW FOR IT TO BE USED TO TECHNICALLY THE COMPANY ALL READY GOT THE MONEY FOR SAID GAME.

    • It's a shame that someone actually though this was a good idea. I don't know why they didn't consider the fact some people rent games before they buy them or even borrow them from friends.

    • its stupid, just let us have that online option function for free. Stop trying to rip money out of our pockets if you supposedly care about the fans, we put out enough money for your sometimes crappy games.

    • This is extremely unfair! We bought the game, why do we have to pay so much for an online pass?! Why would people even want to buy from you at all then?? 60$ is way too expansive, give us a break!

    • It really isn't necessary. Not even just trying to dampen used game sales and rentals, but if I bring games over to another household I need to pay another $10!

    • When I buy a used game, I shouldn't have to buy Microsoft points to play it online. Money hungry companies.
