Default Re: Shadow of Colossus PS4 preorder DLC PAL region

interesting, usually (unless it's an online game) such items are not region locked.

What have you tired? I assume you redeemed the code via your store - are you saying the code didn't work (because it's from another region) or that it accepted the code but the items won't work on the game?

I would appreciate clarity because I too will be playing a version from other regions.

Ah you didn't know? Ok let me explain. Games are not region locked but DLCs are.

Say you have SoTC physical UK copy, you used US PSN account and redeem/purchase any SoTC DLC. It will download the DLC but it will not install because DLC only works with the physical/digital version of the same region.

It happened to me with FF15. I had Australia physical copy but wanted the US preorder bonus of all the starter weapons, redeemed it but couldn't use it.
