Buy DC Universe Online Used and You’ll Get an Unpleasant Surprise

February 16, 2011 in News comments 6

Have you been thinking of getting DC Universe Online for the PS3 used? Stop right there and buy a new one instead because the once the psn code has been used it's gone forever.

If you see a used copy of DC Universe Online for PS3, don’t even think of grabbing it. It seems each new copy of the game comes with a one-time use code to activate it, and if that code has already been used, the game is essentially worthless.

    If you didn't charge us $50 more than everywhere else in the world we wouldn't have to buy pre-owned games you stingey assholes.

    I think it's pretty fair in this case that there's a one time only code. The games practically a PC MMORPG ported to a console.

    I bet at least some retailers will allow people to trade in the game anyway. Cue the angry customers who then went and bought it.

      Yeah it's bound to happen, but I assume most big retailers will catch on quick.

    I remember another game in the distant past functioning much the same way, but I can't remember what it was. Needless to say, it's effing ridiculous
