Re: [Old Report] Dead Space 3 PS3 Online Pass
@GQman2121 This is not a Sony "issue" because it isn't the console, or marketplace causing an issue with your game, download, servers etc. If the content is no longer in the store at all, that is working as intended. That means it was removed as downloadable content. In my opinion that was done because the online pass isn't needed for DRM downloads but would be for physical copies from way back when.
Here is what we sent out to players a while back
ONLINE PASS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED, AND ITS REQUIREMENT FOR OLDER GAMES WILL BE ELIMINATED.
Do I still need an Online Pass to play multiplayer games online?
For new EA titles, Online Pass will no longer be needed or included. Additionally, we are in the process of eliminating Online Pass requirements from existing EA games. This process will take several weeks. For some games, the prompt to enter an Online Pass code will no longer appear; for others, you will still need to download and install an Online Pass, but they will be available free of charge from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or PlayStation Store.
If the pass is not allowing you to download it from within the game, you can try to reinstall the game, or sign into the console with another account that does own it, but if the above-mentioned doe no work, then I am afraid there isn't any other way of getting that downloaded if the PS store doesn't have it available.
