Do you guys think it will be possible to share EA online pass.

E.G. Fifa 11 online pass or Dead Space 2 Online pass

Doubt it, my guess would be that they are one time use things... Sucks for people who actually buy the games used.

Probably with the SPG, I'm not sure though is it a DLC thing?

Nah, EA now inserts a leaflet containing a "EA Online Code" into their games that have multiplayer. I don't know when they started but they did it with Medal of Honor and Dead Space 2. My guess would be for 2 things.

A. Make a quick buck from people who buy the game used.
B. Keep "shadier" people from going online unless they pay a fee

Either way if you buy the game used or get it by other means you are prompted to either enter this code or buy a new one off xbox live.

If I'm not mistaken, the codes are tied to your EA account.
Although I just realized I dodged a major bullet, because I actually bought Crysis 2 used and didn't think twice when I tried to play the mp. But I would've probably been saddened if it wanted an online pass code. Which is quite odd that EA, the forefathers of the online pass, didn't include one in Crysis 2 (a definite big hit seller). Maybe they look at reserve numbers and if they're low they do the online pass knowing people are going to get it used or rented....
