My questions are:

1. Will Dragon Age (Singapore Region) recognize Warden's Keep DLC (Italy Region)?
2. Will my Save Game from Dragon Age (Singapore Region) works with DA: O: Awakening (Italy Region)?

I'm currently at Italy right now due to work but my game was bought from Singapore so I don't really have much of a choice. I don't want to buy something only to find out that it will not work due to region differences.

1. I don't think so (on every other PS3 game that I've had DLC, the DLC has to come from the region disc it is. In this case you'd need the DLC from Singapore store.

2. Download it from the Singapore store & you'll be fine. Every PS3 game is region free, but the DLC is region locked.



Hope it helps :)

I know it isn't the case for all games. But can anyone confirm it especially from DA Tech guys?

It does not work unless you download from the PSN network in the country the disc originated from. I made the $11.45 AUD mistake of downloading the Warden's Keep content from the Australian Playstation Store. My game disc is from Singapore. The damm game won't recognise the content. Even though the content is visible in the Games/Game Data Utility menu.

This issue needs to be fixed. I now find myself in the predicament that I will have to pay the $7.75 SGP and download the same content again.

Bioware and EA double dipping peoples wallets. Forcing unwitting folks to pay twice for your expansions and addon content is simply unfair and possibly illegal.

Rectify this problem quickly devs!

Also just noted that $11.45 AUD is way more expensive than paying $7.75 SGD. The current conversion from SGD to AUD means that I would only pay $6.49 AUD for the Warden's Keep DLC.

Why is it so much cheaper to buy the same DLC from Singapore than from Australia???

Please feel free to explain that one EA/Bioware???

Then this from Playstation support:



Thank you for your recent email.

Content on the Playstation Store is region locked, therefore any game add ons purchased via the Australian PlayStation Store will only work with and Australian region coded game disc.

Unfortunately there is no way to make this content compatible with your Singapore region coded disc. You will require an Australian copy of the game disc to use the add on content you have purchased.

Purchases from any region's PlayStation stores must be made with credit cards from the same region.

Regards,

PlayStation Support Centre

How do ya like those apples? I wonder if I can get a refund? @%$#@#@@%!!#@$#@**

Thanks for confirming. It's part of their marketing strategy so they can milk more money out of us. Charge to experience.

Update: I've just read it today. This may help you: http://social.biowar.../index/446230/1

Please confirm if it also works on you so I may buy a DLC which region is different from the game.
