Basically Microsoft seem to have delisted the Online Pass for Tiger Woods 2012 (the one that is included with the game, not the one you can buy for 800MSP) and nobody will accept responsibility. It's mildly amusing.

One of Bordersdown's old writers, Marty, has hit a snag in system. This glitch in the matrix shows just how frustrating and limited the current setup for codes and DLC and online passes really is when it comes to getting support. What seems like a simple problem has just created slopey shoulders and everyone's time wasted. In fact it has probably cost EA and MS vastly more in time to listen and ignore the problem than it would have to just say "Hey, we'll fix this for you!"
So, he bought a new sealed game and for some reason the online pass has been removed from Xbox Live, even though online is still active for a while yet. So if you've already used the pass in the past, you can download it again easily, but if you are a new customer, you aren't allowed to use the online component code that comes in the box. Well, you are, but it will cost you £37,000,000+ which even for gaming obsessives is an unusually large amount of cash and probably not worth it.
