Region of DLC

[Nickb01]

Like many ive been stuck behind this one account lock for the dlc,

my problem is that i do everything on a US account, living in Australia and buying all my games and dlc from australia.

so my question is, being that the purchase from the store was merely an unlock with absolutely no download involved from the store, would the dlc be region coded like regular dlc?

meaning could i buy the dlc from the US store and have it work with my AU disc?

obviously the dlc isnt out in the us yet to try, but if someone has for example an Asian region version of the game, have they been able to buy dlc on a AU or EU account and have it work there?

cheers for any feedback!

Yes, from the start it is locked. But I have found a way to crack this.

(you need a pen drive, PSP or any other USB mass storage device)

1. On your old game/PS3, copy the save to the device. (select it, press TRIANGLE and choose Copy. Choose the device)
2. Go to a computer and plug the device in.
3. Go to My Computer>your device>
4. Open the PS3 folder and then open SAVEDATA.
5. Copy the folder to Desktop then delete it from device.
6. On your new game/PS3, start a new game and save.
7. Copy the NEW save to the device. (select it, press TRIANGLE and choose Copy. Choose the device)
8. Go to a computer and plug the device.
9. Open PS3 folder again and then open SAVEDATA.
10. Copy that folder to a new folder in desktop.
11. Now, rename the NEW folder so that it has the same name as the old folder.
12. Open the NEW folder. Here you should see these files:


PARAM.PFD
PARAM.SFO
PIC1.PNG
ICON0.PNG
SAVE.DAT


(if there are more files that's fine. Sometimes PIC1.PNG isn't there, that's fine too.)

13. Open the OLD folder. You should see the same items.
14. THIS IS IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT MESS UP. Copy PARAM.PFD and PARAM.SFO from the OLD folder to the NEW folder. If you do it the other way round you'll mess up.
15. Delete the saved file from the device. And also delete the OLD folder. Drag the remaining folder into PS3/SAVEDATA/.
16. Goto your PS3, select Saved Data Utility, choose your device and find the data. Copy this (TRIANGLE) then you're done. Delete save from device.

Play the game and enjoy. This worked for me -- it should work for you too.
Feel free to use this for other games.
If it doesn't work then you'll have to retry the game.

it's the only thing I've heard anything about a way of getting around it. Don't know if it's true.
