I did even know you needed a pass to play this game online.   One of the supposed advantages of PS3 is "free" online multiplayer but then you have to all these extra passes and shit?

Every version of this game needs an online pass. It's up to the publishers/developers to implement this to try to deter used game sales. So maybe you should think a little bit before you spout your fanboy troll comments.

Does anyone know if the laggy online fights are primarily a problem on the PS3 or does it affect the 360 owners as well? I'm not trying to troll, I legitimately want to know. Especially since I got my ass handed to me quite a few times while playing online. Some were my own stupidity, but most of them were because the lag throws the timing of my moves off.

So when is this supposed to kick in its still asking for a pass on mine

Too late, too little.

Any Mortal Kombat article = free restraint on using as many K words as you possibly can. It's a requirement of game journalism.

Very cool that they did this. I was one of the fortunate that got their online pass in before the outage, but I'm glad those that didn't are getting to finally play now.

That's pretty cool!  Too bad my fancy television isn't coming in for a week or so and I won't be able to play MK online until then.  Luckily I've got an online pass so it doesn't matter anyway.  So in conclusion, that's really cool of them!

NetherRealm, doing cool shit with MK9 since April 26, 2011.

This is better than what Sony's giving us.

sooooooooooo is MK online ALWAYS laggy???

cool stuff!

Nice move by the by WB and Nether, hopefully it will be business as usual by next week, and hopefully the PSN will be back up in Japan sometime soon.

Praise be!

That's great of them.

Kudos Warner and Nether for doing this.  Cant wait until the store is up so I can get my DLC and now I can help pass the time by getting my ass beat down online hahah :D

Hey, how about fuck online passes in the first place.

Just that so I get this right....

You actually get one of those passes free with your retail version of the game and only have to buy one for 10$ if you buy the game second hand?

Or does EVERYONE have to pay extra money on top of their 60buck game in order to play it online?

The Great PSN Crash of 2011 is a great name lol.

It's pretty shitty they're charging for online if you don't get the game new. I understand why, but still, fuck them.

This whole online pass thing fucking sucks in general, just let us play for free! I played for a while online, and I don't think I really want to play online ever again, everybody else is to good and I just get pummeled, I'll stick to FPS's online cause I'm great at those!

Cool.

Good move.

i just tried it today and it didn't work

I suppose this prevents a possible black spot on the whole "project $10" idea. Don't wanna scare publishers away from such a consumer friendly practice.

This article needs more K's in it.

I love when something that seems like common sense actually happens. Restores a bit of my faith in humanity.

Wait what?!?!? I thought online mutliplayer on the PS3 was always free!

they should sue sony
