NotAFoxAnymore Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) So today I recieved Battlefield 4, but noticed it was an Australian version of the game. Although I'm pretty sure Australia shares the same region code as EU (PAL) so in light of this, will DLC purchased from the uk store still work with the game?

Suicide_Tortuga Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Doesn't matter from what region the dlc comes from. As long as its in the console you should be able to play it no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedrOTN- Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Check your game disc for the region code, if its BLES or BCES it will work with DLC bought on an European Store, im assuming you got the disc version.

Not quite correct. The general rule is the DLC and game region must match, otherwise the game won't recognise the DLC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I thought I really didn't matter where dlc is obtained. I know the DLC codes must be redeemed to their regions PSN. Guess I was wrong them, you learn something new everyday.

Is there any free dlc for the game that you could test it with? I know in the us store the Night Operations DLC is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrickenBiged Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Maybe return it and buy the game again (making sure it's a UK copy) to be safe? That game's so old it's got to be bargain bin prices in CEX and GAME and the like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do but if the hassle can be avoided I'd prefer it I thought the DLC was free for both systems? It is, but I don't own a PS4 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilumixZ Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I always thought if your from eu you need the eu DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Look on the back of the copy, there should be an black'n'white world grid symbol with a number on it (hopefully it will be a 2 as R2 equals Europe), located on the bottom-mid right corner.

TheYuriG Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It says 4...am I screwed? Unfortunately yes, but you could work around that creating an australian and buying the DLC from there using either a international credit card or a pre-paid card.

NotAFoxAnymore Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Oh shit, I'm months late but I figured I'd clarify for anyone reading this, it DOES in fact work. I assume because EU/AU are both PAL regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Does this apply to online passes. If i buy a zone 4 pass for a zone 2 game will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ars Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 For the record DLC packs always work the same way and it's the Product ID that dictates whether they're compatible. Eg. BF4 EU/AU release is CUSA-00049 and any DLC pack will always work with the title no matter you bought from UK, AU or Scandinavia store. Likewise DLC bought from USA or Hong Kong will never be compatible because it's for Product ID CUSA-00110 and PLAS-07002LE, respectively. The zones have nothing to do with PS game titles and DLC for them, they're regions for Blu-Ray video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
