PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Today I started to download the online pass for some games I bought recently but not got round to playing.

Now the expiary date on Dead Space 2, Mortal Kombat, Assassins Creed Revelations and something else is 2020. Fair enough, after that the servers will almost certainly be off and even if they are still on, no one will be playing it anymore. Resistence 3 didn't even seem to have one!

I then redeemed the pass for Space Marine and the expiary date for the online pass is September 2012! Which is rediculous. If you by the game new, you should be able to play online with out having to purchase the online pass. Lots of people would probably buy it a year after release probably because other games will take priority and then pick it up when it's a bit cheaper. 

It got me thinking, what other games with online passes have a short expiary date? Because Space Marine can't be the only one.

The passes don't run out as far as i understand so you should have to rebuy them again.

If a pass runs out on you try contacting the developer or the company who has released the game.

Sorry not what I mean. The actual use by date of the code on the book in the game box has an expiary.

that is a bit of a micky take. I noticed the date on the arkham city one was 2021 which is reasonable, 2012 is bloody cheeky!
