Recently, Electronic Arts announced they would be phasing out their Online Pass program, which only allowed online connection with the use of a code (found in the retail game box upon purchase) or buying a pass (for gamers who had a used copy of the game where the code had been already redeemed).
As part of this program, EA's started reducing prices on Online Passes in both the Xbox Live marketplace and Sony's Playstation Network from $10 to free. Here is a list of games losing the paywall to online access:
