so is this code going to work specificly with Uncharted 3 or is like a 1 code for all games, i dont get how the Sony Pass works

I'm assuming it's like EAs online pass and in that case, you buy one specific to the game you want to play online.

The original idea was to put some "missed" money back into the developers pockets as those who only buy used games only line the retailers pockets, never the developers.

At least it will be available for all PSN users on the PS3. Saves money that way. Problem is, we're still paying for more if we get a used copy.

Got the game pre-ordered already, so looks like it won't really effect me.

It's per game. Online passes have been implemented by numerous game publishers to generate revenue from the second-hand game trade and to encourage purchases of new games instead.

Buying a new game automatically grants an online pass. Used games will require an online pass to be purchased from the PS Store to access online components. So factor the $10-ish price of an online pass when buying second-hand. You might find the price is almost on-par with buying new.
