I know it's rather simple...go in the PSN store and look it up. However, things are a little different for me.

I have a US PSN account since back then there was no IL PSN store and you could make an IL based user.

My game is Region 2 (was bought from the UK) :\

So, what do I do? How do I obtain the DLCs?
 
You have to create a new PSN account I'm afraid in order to obtain the DLCs.
 
I have a UK account as well. But I only play with my US account. I also have an Israeli account, is that better? I could use my credit card this way.
 
Then buy it on your UK account. You can't do it yet though because EU PSN is down for maintenance until 9.00pm PST
 
Yeh, I don't want to go through the same crap I had with Race Driver Grid. Its a Region 2 game and somehow my credit card worked on the american store so I bought the DLC for it, tried installing it and didn't work because region was mismatched. Stupid how Sony hasn't implemented a region match check before a customer pays for DLC. Trying to get a refund will cost more than the DLC. :\

Problem is, if I must buy it through UK, than I can't use my credit card, it's gonna be a pain because I'll have to get one of these pricey wallet vouchers. : (
 
You could use a company like shopto who will sell you psn vouchers & let you read them via your account page? Or get a pre-paid credit card.

Had the same issue, just email PSN US, explain your situation and they will remove DLC from your account and give your money back to PSN wallet. Worked for me.
 
Hmm...I could use those 10$ to buy from UK. :D

* Dispatched an email through their customer support form.

I was thinking about it though.. I don't think I could use that money to buy the DLC because it will only be valid for the same account where it's a US account, so, I asked them to refund the money completely.

I really wonder if it will work with my IL account because it's considered Region 02.
