i still blur what is this online pass ? . meaning online need to pay like DC mmorpg game ?? ..
what do u think which Region is the best to buy Region 1 ? ? ?
lemme try to answer that (while wiping my tears as my R1 copy doesn't arrive yet

) Update: Arrived! 21st April 2011

Online Pass:
The pass is given free for a new purchase of the game. However, here's a look at the release of the R1, R2 and R3 regarding the online pass.
R1 - The code comes with the game. Mine is on a card inside the case along with DLC costume code. Maybe need to redeem online as I saw some options in the menu to redeem codes.
R2 - The code comes with the game.
R3 - There is some
drama confusion for this release... here's the update (Ascending to latest)
19-April-2011: Customer who bought the R3 version not getting their Online Pass. Seller oso don't know I think as the game is sealed and the online pass is supposedly inside the case.
20-April-2011: The online pass should be available next week FOC, please ask your seller for it, thanks Alex for clarification.
22nd-April-2011 Some of the seller are giving the online pass to their customer today (FOC). One such as rocket_jet
23rd-April-2011 Some of the buyers get their Online Pass along with their copy of the game. The pass is sticked outside the box. Meaning that we can for the time being confirm that the R3 version does not ship with the Online Pass, the seller needs to make some effort in getting the code.The Online Pass DefinitionQUOTE(Wiki)
this "Mortal Kombat" will come with a one-time use online pass which will be mandatory to access the online portions of the game. This means that people who buy the game pre-owned will have to buy an online pass from either the PS Store or Xbox Live Marketplace if they want to play online.
On layman's term, first hand, got online pass (R1 and R2 inside case, for R3 ask your seller for it) second hand, no online pass, needs to buy currently at us psn store @ USD19.99
Different from DC Online Universe, where it is subscription based and you need to renew every month or year, for Mortal Kombat, as of current, the developers said that it is only one time charge, USD19.99 for 1 user and that's it, no need to pay anymore.
For the best region to buy, my past experience with MK vs DC Universe, the online is region lock, meaning if ur copy is region 3, you cannot play with your friends who has Region 1. This could change for this new Mortal Kombat, or not...

And to top of the damage, the MK vs DC universe save file is different for each region.

I ended doing the Kombo Challenge for each character all over again
maybe you should buy the region that ur friends are buying... but bear in mind however, this game is heavily based on DLC, and we all know that MY and SG PSN is abit slow on the update side....
