PS3 games are all region free. But if you are from Europe, you might get problems getting DLC.

That the PS3 is from NA or not doesn't change anything. You probably know that the PS Store for NA and Europe are different. If the game isn't released in Europe, you will need to access the NA store. You probably have a NA account to access demos. BUT, to buy stuff off the NA store, you need a credit card that works in NA.

Ok but look at the bright side, atleast i get to play rock band a few months before its released i europe. Thanks for your help :)

[Terranova]

Shadow is correct, unless you have a Mastercard already registered, it was the only one that worked, you wont be able to get the DLC from the U.S store Sony have closed the loophole so your no longer able to register any new cards out side of the U.S.

[Coldplayer]

Yep.

PS3 version is region free, 360 version is NOT region free.

Funny thing, with Prepaid Cards you are still able to buy the Rockband songs on the US XBL Marketplace. Unfortunately you will need a US Xbox 360 to play the game.

So if you really want the full experience, you have to buy a US Xbox 360.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
So just to clear it up, will I be able to get European DLC if I import and American Disc?
And where would I be able to get a bundle edition shipped to Europe? I know almost everywhere is out of stock, but regardless, I would like to know.
Thanks:D

Shipment to Europe is possible, just be ready to pay for it.

I don't know if european DLC will work on the american copy, but it should.

Is it out of the question to ask harmonix for an answer to this?

[Chthonic]

Yep.

Or just play the waiting game. Which is no fun.

Hi

I have tried to setup 2 different accounts (europe and US) in the PSN store

I have a european PS3 (live in Dublin) and I managed to download the GH3 dlc from the US PSN store using a Visa electron card

Also, I have pre-ordered Rock Band from the states so I am just patiently waiting for the bundle to be delivered :-)

cheers

Ooh you're in Ireland? Damn I was hoping I'd be the only person in Ireland with Rock Band :P If yer looking for a band I'd be intertested.

Where did you order from?! I really want to get it for Christmas you see...


On another note...I'm in Ireland too!!
We should all form an Irish band!!

[NotorietyH]

Lol, yeah, and come up with a suitably cheesy Oirish name! I'm in Cork, whereabouts are you?

i ordered from gamestop.com/ebgames.com but they no longer offer it for sale. It's hard to find sites that ship internationally in the states. Ebay is looking mighty expensive, a lot of people on boards.ie order from videogames.plus.ca but that's Canada so you might not get it in time. I'll check back on the boards.ie site, they mentioned another few sites before.

[Dabog666]

OK thanks:D
I'm in Westmeath by the way, and a cheesy Oirish name would be great!

[NotorietyH]

Had a look there, all the sites are English or Canadian which is probably no good. It's the peripherals that screw you with American sites, they won't ship electronics internationally.

Looks like eBay is about your only option, shipping and all will work out expensive I'd say, and keep in mind customs will probably catch you for about 40 or 50 quid when it arrives.

At the moment, only cheesy Irish name I've come up with is The Gombeens :P

[Dabog666]

lol, the gombeens! Which reminds me, Podge and Rodge is on in an hour!

[Dabog666]

I'm pretty pissed off too, because one bundle was available on ebgames an hour ago, but the site won't accept my credit card info

You're better off, they just back-ordered my pre-order that I placed on the 1st of September. they're idiots. I'm in the same boat as you now.

[Dabog666]

Ah ok, I guess I'll just wait...god damn it:D

Do you have any confirmation on this? It's a BIG rumor to be starting, so I suggest you not do it lightly.
