It doesn’t matter which region you create the account from, it matters which region your PS3 is from. If your buddies have a NA PS3 it will work, if they have a JPN or EU PS3 it will not.

I am in Canada, with a Japanese PS3, and it doesn’t work. Obviously it can detect that I am in NA from my IP address, but it arbitrarily decides I am Japanese because I bought my console in Asia.

So weak. I hope they get rid of this region coding crap altogether, especially since NA/EU/JPN are all the same region for games and Blu-rays.

Hi Oli,

Can you make that slightly clearer? I have downloaded the demo from my US account, but it just won’t run even if I start playing it while logged into my US account. What’s your fix?

to fix create a new account on yourps3 that has the U.S.A set as your home and the download the demo from that account. 60% of people Iknowin the pal region (NZ) who have dont so have the demoworking perfectly. Use this as atemp solution to the problem.
