Okay, to end this one now I will explain how this works as we have discussed this before.
If you buy the game new as UMD from the store you will have a code that will allow you to unlock the online playability of the game. The code, as I understand, is provided within the contents of the UMD case. Each code once used only works with one PSP. If you buy the game on PSN then the online mode only works with the PSP that bought the game. If you buy the game UMD used then you may have bought a game where the code was used by the previous owmer in which if you wanted to play online then you would need to purchase the $20 online code.
Pardon me for jumping in here....but you said that the code can only be used on one PSP. What if I changed PSN names after I activated the code already on my older PSN?

That is what seems to be unclear to me because what I read it was per PSP, now I would think it would be the PSP that the account is activated on. Not sure man, I'll try to do some research.
It's connected to the PSN account, it has nothing to do with the PSP. So whatever PSP your using with that one account at the moment, is how you access your one code.
Every new UMD comes with a code on the back of the manual. It's one use only. Every digital download comes pre registered, (as if you already entered the code) but I've been hearing some problems from users about it still requiring a code when it shouldn't.
Contacting customer support and supplying your serial number seems to be clearing it up though.
The separate "online download" from the PSN is just buying another code; and supposedly it's for if you get banned, or if you bought the game used.
