Can't install US DLC on UK game?
Jun 1 2009, 10:19 AM EDT
When I got my PS3 a year ago, I made my profile in the US, since that's where I am. A few months ago I decided to buy LBP, but the one I got was a PAL version off of eBay. It's region-free so it works fine on my system, but... A few weeks ago I ran across an unexpected problem. The DLC I bought on my normal profile (from the US PSN) won't install on my game. I've tried everything I can think of. I un-installed, I re-installed, I installed in different orders. I even made a new profile based in the UK. Well, that's the solution to installing the FREE content, but there's no way I'm going to pay 5.99 AGAIN on the UK PSN just to get my MGS creator pack. *sigh* So, can anyone think of a cheap and preferably easy way of fixing my problem? (And has anybody else had this problem?! I've searched all over the net, but apparently I'm the only one stupid enough to make this mistake.) Do you find this valuable?

"ur not the only one by far but it is a known problem only possible way is find someone with US tht wants it let them download off u and buy it for u on UK PSN will be majorly hard to find someone to do tht for u but otherwise gameshare or re buying is only way"I was afraid that might be the only way... Though I'm still hoping to find another way.. I have a friend who owns the US version of the game, so perhaps he'll be willing to do a trade. By the way, if I were to borrow his game, un-install mine and install his, would I have to use his US disc to play? Or does the disc-type even matter once the data is installed? (I'm sure it does...)

I've had this problem myself, I bought the game while I was in Asia and noticed that my DLC wasn't working. I tested the disc type thing on a friends PS3 and it doesn't work. If you do it it will install 2 different types of game data, so now I've had to start using the Taiwan PSN Store for all my downloads. I too had purchased the MGS Pack before I noticed this.

I think it wouldn't be sure a big deal if I just had to use the UK PSN. I do use it for all the free downloads. However, it won't let me use my American credit card, because I don't have a billing address in the UK. I tried to see if I could find any UK PSN prepaid cards that I could maybe buy online with Paypal or something, but I can't seem to find any. Any suggestions? Do you find this valuable? |
