I’d like to continue my comment but this blog prevents me from doing so.

To Sony mostly, and Zipper Interactive,

I just paid a lot of money for this system, which is locked to a wireless carrier I don’t want to use, and had no business with whatsoever. Here in America there aren’t laws preventing companies from going behind their customers backs and making backroom deals to monopolize their cellular data use. I spent extra money on a larger proprietary memory card, so I could store more games that I would pay for and download from the ps store.

I try to buy a game, and instead I get a loop of errors relating to internet connectivity. In reality, there’s some issue with the credit card information. What the problem is, I’ll probably never know. Sony doesn’t even know, admits to having no knowledge of or access to information that might help me resolve the issue. The only option is to buy a prepaid card.

Since there’s no time-frame on releases I don’t see the game I want to purchase until 8:30 at night. And after spending hours with these issues and talks with Sony reps late into the night, I break down to buy this pre-paid nonsense and finally download my game.

Is there any chance of this being resolved? I had purchased the game with the sole intention of playing co-op, because my friend was practically begging me to get it, and told me I could get it for a few bucks less if I purchase it through the PS Store… After some research on this site and youtube, I decided to buy the game…NOWHERE on this BLOG, or in the DESCRIPTION of the game in the marketplace, does it say that you need to purchase an online pass to play the Digital copy of the game… Now I have to pay more than my friend (who bought the Physical copy) to play online?! $46?! Come on. Last time I’m ever purchasing a digital copy, unless it is %100 confirmed that a pass is required IN THE DESCRIPTION.

Just wanted to add, the main reason I bought this game was for the co-op. Ditch the online pass bs, you’re not hurting the gamestops of this world, just the players who have yet another hassle to deal with.

Great job, Zipper, you really screwed up. No online pass for the digital copies of the game. We support your efforts and this is how you repay us. No more day one purchases for me, ever. You guys simply can’t be trusted.

I bought a physical copy, but the issue with the PSN version better be fixed and fast. None of them can get online and games with an online pass are supposed to have it included with the downloadable versions of the game. Now I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume this is a bug in the game, but if it isn’t then you are going to have your hands full with all kinds of lawsuits I’d imagine.

No offense, but Shooter refers to “Shoot-em-up” games (like the kids on SHMUPS play) and not “First Person Shooters”…

Shoot-em-up => Shooter, and First Person Shooter => FPS

It’s kind of like calling all electronic music techno.

So I just got off the phone with sony and they said that the digital version doesnt come with the online code, way to nickel and dime, so I requested a refund on the basis that they never discolsed that information to me and never announced it.

@61 No, it asks for the online pass code and i have none, nothing in email.

It’s the last time i get a game off psn when i can get from gamestop and get the code free.

With price of cart game from a store it is still cheaper even with few $ off ps store price when considering online pass you WILL need apparently as you are paying over the price paid at say a gamestop.

I am angry at sony for something i should have for free and would have had if i had bought it in a traditional game shop.
