SirPigFace Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 So I added Just Cause 3 to my library when it was free on the store. I have yet to play it but they're currently selling the XL Edition for really cheap but I cant buy it because I have the normal version. Is there anyway around this??

Midnightwards666 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Perhaps try buying on another account? I think I did something similar once when I couldn't buy a game because I had a trial version, and it worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klart Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yup, another account is the only solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The only other option is to wait until the Air, Land & Sea expansion pass goes on sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugaSonic Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) The only option that I know to buy complete/special/XL/etc. edition of games given out on Plus, beside the options already given, is to wait until the subscription ends and buy the games before renewing Plus.

Well, like everyone else said, nope - there's no way around this. Isn't it annoying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamagingRob Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 You could try contacting their shitty support, and they may remove it from your account. Then you can buy the XL Edition. But there's no telling what results you'll get with that. I've never had success contacting them about anything.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightwards666 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) It's very common to have multiple accounts... whether it's for purchasing from different regions, friend accounts, test accounts, master & sub accounts, or in my case changing username and restarting all trophies. I will be honest: I don't fully understand the problem. Is there more than the simple inconvenience of creating a second account? You got the game for free, and now you can get the full game cheaply. You should still be able to play it on both accounts, provided they're both on the same system. Perhaps try deleting the original from the system, and from the new account, downloading the full version.

There are people that just want to have all their content locked to one account, and not have to manage multiple ones. Everything I've purchased on PSN is on this one, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd at least try contacting their support, before resorting to having the DLC for a game locked to a different account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightwards666 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Understandable. Personally, I think having all purchases locked to one account except for just one game will be far less of a pain than trying to find good customer service from Sony, we know what they're like. Anyway, that's up to the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamagingRob Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 This is true. Like I said, never had any success contacting them. Lol. But more and more cases could come up like this one, and then he'd have multiple items owned on an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you didn't have to wait long. The Air, Land & Sea expansion pass is on sale right now for £3.59. https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP0082-CUSA02747_00-AIRLANSEA0000001 Edited March 7, 2018 by Stevieboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Sadly, the only way around this is to buy the DLC when it goes on sale (as the DLC for this is currently on sale now). I've had multiple experiences when I bought the vanilla version of a game and that automatically locks me out of the Complete, Ultimate, GOTY version of said game.
