While it is an embarrassment that they had to do it, it does show that they are sensible. It might also stop the push towards blocking second hand games. You have to commend EA for changing their minds, but if they were really clever they would have thought through the implications and not bothered with it in the first place. Still a fail boat though.

	Quote: EA has begun waiving the fee for existing online passes following recently announced plans to discontinue the unpopular program, which charges second-hand games buyers for accessing multiplayer features. An EA spokesperson told CVG: "As we discontinue Online Pass for our new EA titles, we are also in the process of eliminating it from all our existing EA titles as well. We heard the feedback from players and decided to do away with Online Pass altogether. "Players will see it first with some EA Sports titles, where a prompt to enter an Online Pass code will no longer appear in-game; with other titles we are simply making Online Passes available free of charge online.

Finally some common-sense. As long as they have an original disk they can help maintain the online playing for those who have not traded the disk.
