I got Socom 4 and it has the code set for 1 year from release date, April 18th, 2012, once that date passes... oh oh
I got it in September from Best Buy, they sent me a copy that still had Resistance 3 Beta code to boot (LOL), meaning it was first print run
That is the roll of the dice now, if you wait to long, game doesn't sell well, overstock, game sold 1+ year later will have expiration date and you might get assed out
Also when EA already is shutting down Madden '10 servers.. I mean not even for a 3+ year old game... come the fuck on
I wouldn't be surprised '11 will be shutdown next year, so only '12 & '13 will be ready for the seasonal $60 roster updates
