What's good for the goose (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/10/riccitiello-talks-project-ten-dollar-and-digital-distribution/) is good for the gaggle (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/project-ten-dollar). Ubisoft will allegedly be the latest member in the multiplayer "online pass" club with a "Uplay Passport" in Driver: San Francisco (http://joystiq.com/game/driver-san-francisco), according to GamerZines (http://www.gamerzines.com/ps3/news/uplay-passport-ubisoft-online.html).
Since almost every other major publisher (http://joystiq.com/tag/online-pass) in the industry is already doing it, and Ubisoft said it was looking into implementing (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/18/ubisoft-remains-refocused-on-xbox-360-ps3-in-new-fiscal-year/) such a feature last year, we wouldn't hold it against you if you paused for a moment and thought: "Wait, Ubi hadn't done this already?"

According to GamerZines, the Uplay Passport will work similarly to other online passes: restricting online mulitplayer to those who receive a code in a new copy of the game, or buy a code online. There's currently no word on how much said code will cost separately. We've contacted Ubisoft for confirmation.
