The only way I see them giving more buddy passes is if they plan to give it away for the new collectors edition. In which case we CE users will be able to upgrade.
I dont see how this would "waste" company money. Its like putting a demo up on the PSN. It gives a person who might not otherwise even try the game, a chance to see if they like it. I am a huge fan and supporter of demo's. I like to try a game out before deciding i want to throw $60+ at it. An MMO is a huge commitment, providing a buddy pass/free trial to people who already are playing it gives the pass user an intro to the game and friends to play with.

If they don't give 1.0 users another buddy pass, I'm ok with that. I just didn't feel your reasons for not giving one was valid. I used my buddy pass but my buddy played it for a couple days right at release, hated it, then quit. He dosent remember his log in info but has expressed a casual interest in trying it again but does not want to buy a copy if it still "sucks". Just thought it would have been kewl if they could send another one since so much has changed and it might bring back those with the sour taste of 1.0 in their mouths.
