I only know the compatibilities of the 2 games from usa to aus, but i'm unsure about compatibilities of uk to aus (I have USA editions of rb1 & 2).

In terms of exporting; you need both rb1 & rb2 to be from the same region. The code needs to also be bought from that regions PSN Store.

So for example, if you have usa rb1 and usa rb2 - you buy the code from the usa psn store and exporting will work perfectly. If you have the usa rb2 and aus rb1 you cannot use any codes from any psn store to export songs.

Same goes for DLC, it is region locked so if you buy songs from the USA store you can only use them on usa editions of the game (aus store dlc only goes to aus games etc.).

I'm unsure about the free dlc for rb1 in aus (Still Alive etc.), but if you have the usa edition of rb2 you should have a code on the back of your manual which you enter into the usa psn store under 'redeem promotion or game card code'. However the code is also region locked so you need to use the store from the region you bought the game to get the DLC.

Um as for support you should be able to contact EA for help with rb1 & RMA'ing rb1 peripherals since it has been officially released in australia, as for RB2 i don't think you can get support for it in aus since it hasnt been released here.

If you need to make a psn account from another location, iirc its just the same way you make an aussie one, but you just set your location to where you need it. Also, since Sony blocked the use of Entropay to add funds to overseas psn accouts, you need to use game cards. You can find cards on usa/uk ebay, but expect to pay a premium for them thanks to the economy being in the dumper.
