No, that’s the only location to obtain the DLC now.

Just to be sure before I do this, once you have the Korean version of the game and the DLC on your console. Is the DLC accessible from another account (UK) on the same console?

Yes, another other accounts on the same console will be able to access the DLC. 
 

For example, I bought the LittleBigPlanet 2 Extras Edition from the UK and activated the DLC for it, but my US account was able to access the DLC.

Thank you!

I'm in the UK and can't find the extras edition from the store i'm guessing you cant get it anymore?

Extra Edition was never available in the US. It is the only way to get the DC levels here.

Has anyone confirmed the Hong Kong DLC doesn't work with a US physical copy?

 

I know DLC is region locked but I remember downloading the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Revelations DLC from the Hong Kong store as it was free and worked perfectly with my US copy.

If it did work, someone would have said so a long time ago.

¿Alguien ha confirmado que el DLC de Hong Kong no funciona con una copia física de EE. UU.?

 

Sé que el DLC está bloqueado por regiones, pero recuerdo haber descargado el DLC Assassin's Creed Brotherhood y Revelations de la tienda de Hong Kong, ya que era gratis y funcionaba perfectamente con mi copia de EE. UU.

No he podido hacer que funcione

Sería una gran noticia, tengo ambos (tengo muchas copias y dlcs pero no se aman)

 

Google translate:

I have not been able to get it to work It would be great news, I have both (I have many copies and dlcs but they are not loved)

Hong Kong PSN has a mix of mutliple regions for their  games. Some are Asia Version, other can be Chinese or Korean, there's even some US releases for games mixed in there.

 

Due to this you might come across some games that are compatible with DLCs from other regions and some are not. Usually when you browse the store though it will specifically say in the info if it's a certain version.

Anyone know a marketplace to get a English/chinese version of the game?

 

Would a game from singapore work with HK DLC? Is it the same region (3)?

1: Ebay is your best bet.

2: It depends on if Singapore is also region 3, else it won't.

I tried for months to get a Singapore copy as at the time (no longer checking as I have gone the Korean account route months ago) the Singapore store had the Pirates dlc. I couldn't even find proof there even was a physical edition of the game from Singapore, or for Hong Kong for that matter. That was why I went the route of checking the psn stores one by one to find who had both the game and dlc to buy digital. The only region I found with both was Korea.

 

But I must stress; this was months ago now (when I started this thread if you want to see when), so no idea what has since changed.

 

I tested;

Singapore dlc (free costume) on UK physical game: fail

Singapore dlc (free costume) on Japanese physical copy: fail

UK physical copy without dlc, playing with US player with dlc: fail

Korean digital copy with Korean dlc (Pirates): pass

Korean digital copy with Singapore dlc (free costume): pass

 

Edit; this was all tested on my "main" UK account

 

Hope this helps

Browsing PSDEALS.net (great resource by the way) and serialstation (Also a great resource) It looks like these were the only two options ever available on the store. There is no 'sticker' pack in any other region that ever existed according to serial station. That site lists every dlc for a given game even if it was delisted. I am cross referencing the list on that site with the serial numbers psdeals.net provides when looking on the south korea dlc on LBP. The level kit one is 

 

https://psdeals.net/kr-store/game/490930/리틀-빅-플래닛-캐리비안의-해적-키트

 

It's likely a regional wording thing. NA and EU have it listed as level kit while Asia has it as just kit.

& a korean psn account.

is it true that i cant just create one myself? and how can i buy the DLC then?

I actually would recommend an Indonesia psn account instead. It’s a hidden gem. Generally their stores are cheaper than my region (US) on sales. But most importantly they have access to Asia region games as they are grouped into that category. I just verified on my Indonesian account that the pirates level kit is available that route. That one is MUCH easier to make an account. Plus the language of the store is English so way easier for searching. You can buy currency cards for the store too for purchases. They use RP.  The pirates dlc is 66,000 RP which is about $4.59 but You need to factor in the inflation of buying currency cards so it comes out to about $8. You can get a RELIABLE indo psn card from play Asia 100,000 RP for $11.99. I use them for my cards. Helps get my AS region stacks. Haven’t started any yet but they are there haha. 

I’ll also supplement by saying the detail of the game on the Indonesia store matches the Asia disc you provided/ its disc only in their store too but just so you’re aware. The two sites I mentioned are life savers when region hunting for hard to find games and dlc!

wow ! dude, thank you.

where can i get the asian game ?

That will be your difficulty. Hunting eBay and other sites is my best suggestion. I would say play Asia but as many have mentioned it’s likely going to stay sold out because the game is old. I just browsed eBay and no listing are up for region 3 and none have been sold in 2-3 months. That would be where they come up. You could always resort to messaging recent earners of the trophies from Asia  region trophies and asking to buy their game copy when they finish? Total long shot but hey.

 

wish I had better news but it seems we solved one problem and created another. It’s the same issue I have with operation flashpoint one of the games dlc is delisted for every region but Asia and no Asia copies exist online right now.

Is the Pirates DLC (and Muppets while we are at it) accessible from the start of the game? Meaning i can do everything else on my own region copy then switch over to Korean Digi to clean up pirates DLC? Assuming saves wont be compatible

I think you need to clear the first world to access it, along with online and your moon etc. But once you have access to the full game then yes you can do it then.

 

I think there are also online related trophies too, for water levels. So until the servers are back up you can't 100% it.

This^

 

You have to progress the story until you're given option to access the online stuff, then the DLCs become available via a sub-menu on the world map. Also note there are some online trophies related to the Create mode which are currently unobtainable until the servers are back to 100%.

Sorry if this has been answered.

 

I have found the dlc on the Singapore PSN. If I set up a Singapore account, will I be able to use this dlc with a Japanese version of the game?

Nope, the region codes are different (Japan is Region 2 and Singapore is Region 3) so you will need a copy of the game from South East Asia for the DLC to work.

Right I figured when I went to the play asia store and there were two different versions. Thanks for the info. I wish they would stop creating licensed dlc that eventually runs out.
