    Is the PS3 DLC Region Free?

    Hi,

    I just got my copy of this game, it's R3 (asian region) but unfortunately it doesn't have any redeem code for the free DLC. Every R3 copy here doesn't have any. I tried calling different game shops and they told me R3 doesn't really have any. So there's no choice but to buy it off Singapore PSN (since the copy is R3). Problem is, I have a US Psn account. So I'd like to know if the dlc is region-free so I can just buy it off the US Psn store instead of making a new asian psn account (finding a Singapore/HK psn card here is almost impossible).

    Hope you guys can help

    @larvain yes we have the same problem my friend,

    i need some answers too regarding to this matter...

    is the DLC "Betrayal of Jimmy" - $9.99 , that i just saw in US PSN Store would be compatible to R3 (Region 3) Asian Mafia 2 disc copy?

    because i usually purchase dlc from US PSN Store rather than Asian PSN Store, even though i have an asian psn account...

    i need an answer to this matter because me and my friend both have this game and we wonder if the dlc are compatible... ?

    and yeah its really hard to find around an HK PSN card and even Singaporean PSN cards, only US PSN cards are available in our country...

    Instead of browsing on the PSN store directly, you can try to access the dlc from the game main menu instead, if the dlc is compatible so to speak, it will link to the psn store. But a official confirmation will be more self assuring in order not to waste money.

    you can't buy anything from the North American store (Region 1) and use it with a game from another region

    there are some games that are compatible in US psn store with different region/version of the game itself ive tried and tested that with some games...

    i cant rely to that kind of answer, i want to know if other R3 asian disc game users here who had bought the betrayal of jimmy dlc in US PSN store and tried it if it worked or not...

    because we already knew that the dlc is $9.99 and its not that cheap, so i cannot test it first thru myself

    DLC for games are normally not region free. You can buy a full game from the US store if you live in the UK but you can not buy any DLC. I tried it many times and no DLC worked.

    Games are region free though so you can import a game from the usa then use the us store to but the DLC.

    DLC= region locked
    games=region free
