THQ has confirmed that UFC Undisputed 2010 will force gamers to enter a redeemable code given with the game to use its online functions on both the PS3 and 360. People that purchase the game second hand will have to pay $5 to access the online features of UFC 2010. Publishers are starting to play around with keeping online features away from pre-owned folks with redeemable codes for new copies.

Customers that pick up pre-owned titles can purchase a pass to the content online on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Live Marketplace. EA popularised the idea amongst publishers with Mass Effect 2 and announcing that their future sports titles will be using this model, beginning with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11.
