Printing Error Leads Ubisoft To Waive Fee For Driver: San Francisco Online Pass

Ubisoft has decided to offer the "online pass" content for Driver: San Francisco for free to all players after a printing error led some customers to have difficulty redeeming a code for the content. First announced back in June, Ubisoft's "Uplay Passport" was supposed to require players of secondhand copies of Driver: San Francisco to purchase an online code for $9.99 to access features such as online multiplayer. Those who purchased the game new would get such a code for free inside the game's box. But a post on the Xbox support forums confirms that some codes were printed incorrectly on new copies of the game, leading players to get an error upon redemption. "To solve this problem, Ubisoft has made the Uplay Passport offer free for all purchasers of Driver: San Francisco," the post reads. Players can now access all Passport features simply by accessing the "Uplay Passport" option from the game's online multiplayer menu. Driver: San Francisco was the first Ubisoft title to include the Uplay Passport, and the company has said it plans to included the system in "many of [its] popular core games." The UPlay Passport was modeled after similar programs from publishers including EA, Sony and THQ.
