My Understanding of the DLC Situation (Can someone please verify)

[bojous]

This is my understanding of the situation, I'm hoping that somebody will verify if I'm right:

The only way that the DLC will work is that the PSN account/DLC/Disc region are the the same and the only thing that the December/Family Upgrade will change is the account locked attribute of the DLC but that all the accounts on the PS3 will still have to be the region as the DLC, meaning that accounts from different regions will still not work even after the "Upgrade".

My situation being that I use a US account but I bought the UK version of GT5 for the Signature Edition and the perks that came with it. At the moment I believe that buying US DLC will not work with my game due to the region of the disc and that even if I buy UK DLC it still won't work on my US account even after the aforementioned upgrade due to the region of the account.

Am I right?

I personally feel that the issue is purely PD's fault since GT5 is the only game that suffers from this situation and I don't believe that PD "couldn't find a workaround" since other game don't seem to have this problem, even the Stealth/Chrome cars didn't have this problem, so why now?

It's not their fault u want multiple region accounts to get cars that aren't available in your region anyway...why would they need to fix this..

As far as I know I'm not the only one with multiple region accounts, personally I didn't set up multiple accounts for the cars, for me it started because my country didn't have a PSN store to begin with and the stores here sell games from several regions and since DLC is region locked I had to setup multiple accounts to able to download the DLC from those games.

Those games had DLC that could be used on accounts from any region so I don't see why GT5 has to be any different, worst comes to worst I'll just play GT5 on my UK account even if it means starting over.

tbh man, i bought the dlc for my canada account and it's just all show and no go, sure you get the stig suit and things but most cars are weak (i mean seriously, prius tc?!) and I just ditched it and went back to my lovely stealth and chrome cars
