Pre-Owned Games come with Working Online Passes

[Brenden]

As we know online passes are becoming a major part in gaming now days with companies trying to force us to buy new instead of used. Now with all this work they do in creating the online passes from my personal experiences it has actually failed with the pre-owned games I've purchased every single one has come with a working online code with the game. I buy from EB Games and probably 10 or more games I've gotten from there was pre-owned and every single one had a online pass in the case and it worked, so whats the point in companies even implementing this system when I still get away with buying used?
Or is EB Games giving me new games but with pre-owned slapped on it (dunno why they would).

Does the games you buy pre-owned come with/have working online passes or am I just freakishly lucky?

Sounds like the people who sold their games didn't use the online pass, maybe they just play for single player and then trade the game in?

^This!!^ And, yeah, your lucky as hell. I ran across a few games that I have but didn't open them. I see them used at gamestop, and see the code inside, so (this sounds so wrong LOL ) I took a picture of one code (just to see if it worked. It was for Warhammer Space Marine) and I put it in online, and it worked! . Never did that again though. My mind wouldn't let me rest if I did it again

I'm not evil! Just got very lucky that day . And to be quite honest, there's people who really do that to like every game with an online code that's still in the box at game stores.

Now we're talkin!

Anyway I guess you keep getting lucky, because typically you'd have to pay for a new Online Pass.

i would've done that to just to see and all hell most likely i would do it for the games that i would rent from gamefly.

When I rented Uncharted 3 a while back, and it came with a working pass. It was weird.

I think you're just lucky, I picked up a preowned copy of Resistance 3 and the online pass had already been used but they can get fucked if they think I'm going to buy one.

I have bought a few pre owned with working online codes. All the pre owned i bought from gamefly had working online passes.

Alot of people ain´t bothering entering those 12 long number codes.

Also if you have gamefly any used game or any game you keep, will have the code. They will ship the code/cover ect when you buy/keep a game you have at the house.
