The PSN Pass leak earlier in the week apparently wasn’t planned, at least it wasn’t meant to be revealed yet – that’s according to Insomniac’s James Stevenson.
The Community Manager for the developer spoke out today on the Insomniac forums. “As soon as we can announce more details about how it works, we will,” he said, suggesting that we don’t know everything about the service, despite Sony’s press release. That could be good news – will it be per console rather than per PSN account?
“Obviously the box art from Europe leaking out early was way ahead of Sony’s schedule for discussing how this would happen,” he also commented. Looks like no-one was supposed to see that particular Resistance 3 box.
It’s a “game-specific” paid for online code system, which means that second hand or rented copies of games will have features locked out until the player pays for an activation code. “This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio,” was the official word from Sony.
PSN Pass is a hot topic here, just two stories on TheSixthAxis have attracted well over 200 comments.

“This will punish those who either can’t afford it brand new or can’t find a new copy of the game”
– Can’t afford it can’t have it sorry, I want a new TV but can’t afford one so cant have it.
” I think companies should try to increase the amount of replabilty in their games ”
-Seeing as psn pass is about online, how can you not have replayabilty from online?
“For non-plusers,£25-£40 a year”
– Have a day off mate! How on earth would Sony a) be able to advertise that and b) If you can afford to pay this why not just buy you’re games new.
“Sony will tell devs to give their games 2 plats.single player and mutliplayer.”
– Why would you want an extra platinum trophy for LOL.
