Hey, so last weekend I grabbed that free Mirror's Edge DLC on the UK PSN store with my UK account. Problem with that is that my main account, a Canadian one, doesn't seem to recognize the downloaded DLC. Does anyone know if this is because its a Canadian and not a UK account, or if its because its not the user who downloaded the DLC? Anyway, if anyone knows, let me know so I can start playing some of those crazy levels!

European dlc only works with a European copy of the game.

Ah, that simplifies things I guess.

Aren't all PS3 games region free?

yes but the dlc isn't.

Ok but if every ps3 is region free how would the ps3 know the difference between a disc from the uk and from canada or the US if they are region free?

It might not be the disc maybe its the account... you know how somethings are released in other places before america

I don't know, all I know is DLC from another country won't work here.

Will it not even work on with the UK account I DLed it with?

not unless you bought the game in Europe.

This would be because the regional code is different from that of your account. Here in Canada, we use the US regoin code, which is 1. The UK game you downloaded is most likely regionally locked to the UK region code, which I believe is 2.

The thing is, all DLC is region locked, and any other content that has a small picture similair to the image on this eBay page (http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/MULTI-SYSTEM-DVD-REGION-FREE-DVD__W0QQ_armrsZ1) are also region locked. Unless, instead of a number or letter, they say 'ALL'.

The Playstation 3 disk-based games are region-free. However, as I have previously stated, DLC and movies are not.

I know for a fact that multiple users can use the same DLC as I have been using the Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4 on both of my PSN accounts while only purchasing it once.
