Now I'm really frustrated and annoyed. I just bought the DLC on my main account only to find that I can't play on any other account, which is just dandy seeing as the one I use now for any game is another account. What exactly am I supposed to do here? My funds were only on the main account and as far as I know there is no way of transferring those funds to another account. I can't understand why they would restrict it to just one account? Especially seeing as the main account is supposed to be the controlling one, and if anyone buys something on that account, it is supposed to be for all accounts on that PS3. That's how I remember Playstation saying it. I just feel ripped off here, how was I supposed to know?

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I can do here? Otherwise there is an email going PD's/Sony's way soon.

Yeah, Sony and Poliphony are experts on creating troubles, the specific region lock, the single PSN id, North America delay... OMG just craziness. I hope they find a solution soon.

This is a notice regarding the Gran Turismo 5 DLC, for those who have multiple accounts on the PlayStation®Network.

The DLC released on October 18th is tied to the Account ID used to purchase the DLC. It is not possible to use the DLC with accounts other than the one that was used to make the actual purchase. Therefore please make sure to purchase the DLC with the account that is used to play Gran Turismo 5.

My funds were only on the main account

Any master account on a console can use funds added to the wallet on the main account - unless specifically set to limit it.

Add funds on main account, buy content with primary gaming account. Like I just did.
