We all know there’s been a lot of frustration over not being able to get the DLC packs if you’re on a PS3 and overseas. After doing some investigating it looks like there was a miscommunication on when it was supposed to be released. With that being said, there is bad news and somewhat good news. Bad news is that DLC is currently slated to be released March 11th. The good news is that we’ve been working with Sony and they were able to pull the date in to February 25th which is only two short weeks away. Xbox was unaffected by this and should be available for download. No we aren’t playing favorites, it just happened to go down this way. If you are overseas and created a U.S. account to download the DLC and it is not working for you, we would advise you to contact either Microsoft or Sony’s tech, we unfortunately won’t be able to help you out on how to get U.S. DLC to work with the overseas version. Last matter to bring up. There ended up being some legal ramifications with our DLC content being released in Italy. Unfortunately, there was not a way to resolve it so it will not be available for purchase in that region. We apologize to all of the players affected in that region, we did everything we could. Frustration, comments, and feedback are more than welcome.

Well what a **** up. Not only can I not download the new content for another 2 weeks...but i still have issues with the online play. Why can other games be so perfect online, but this one is as if it's the first ever game to be played online, due to all it's problems. Probably the last game i will buy from Rainbow, with all these issues. I still don't understand why Australia had to wait until this long for the DLC. We had the game released in December, a week after it was released in USA. Why do we have to wait until now just for the European release. Your effort to improve the online play, worked for me for about a week and then has now gone back to its same old self.. Why can't we have a quit option when joining a game. Because 5 times out of 10 i get stuck at the 'Joining Session' screen and can only get out of it by restarting the whole game...what other games out there don't have a 'quit' option? I thought it would of been a standard from the beginning.

Several vendors told me that the U.S. DLC works only with U.S. games. So if you don't have a US game, maybe it would be wiser not to download the US DLC and wait your version.

At the top of this forum is what we are able to find out if you bought US discs and are trying to download DLC from your region.  The summary is we don't have any control on region locking or unlocking.  Your best bet would be to contact Sony or Microsoft for support on this.  This part is out of our hands.  We submit the code to them and they either regionalize the discs, DLC, etc.
