SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 released today for the PSP. And there is something …special….about this title. FTB3 introduces us to Sony’s new method of fighting the rampant piracy on it’s portable system. New copies of this game will include a one time use voucher that will be locked to a user’s PSN ID once entered. In order to play this game online this “Online Entitlement” is required. So what does this mean if you buy this game second hand? Well in short the answer is it will cost you $19.99. (Nice way to take get some second hand market money back to the developers)
The Online Entitlement is used to activate the online / infrastructure features of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3. For those purchasing the game second-hand, the entitlement will need to be purchased and entered into a PSN account prior to activating the infrastructure co-op and multiplayer features. The entitlement will be tied to purchasing PSN account and cannot be used by another account.
If you purchase this via the PSN no code will be needed as it will automatically be tied to your PSN id. If you don’t want pay the full price (s39.99) for this new your best bet is to wait for an eventual price drop and then pick this up.
