Are there any setbacks purchasing a Region 2 game as far as DLC is concerned?

I know that the game on the disc itself is playable.

What if they release a DLC and you'll need to purchase the DLC for region 2 only right?

What's your advise,  should we always purchase R3 or is it OK to purchase different regions and is there a workaround as far as DLC is concerned?

New to console gaming here.

Buy r2 if you know its those complete edition.
For physical disc redemption of dlc you still need a r2 account

Mostly I only buy r3 and r1 as I have accounts in both. my US account abit mafan thou. Have to buy top up card to reload then purchase.

For ease of use, just get r3 if not familiar.

90% of the time dlc is region lock.

But you can still get DLC on R2 account and play it on R3 or R1 account, I did this with Spider-Man and it’s DLCs.

You can. But u need extra step on account creation. And get the top up card. Unless you intend to buy lot of games from r2, it's usually not worth it.
Their top up card is not so readily available like US and JAP accounts.

Somehow r2 has lesser discount, and games is more expensive there.

I got HK, SG, UK, JAP, US and MY account.

Ends up only use MY for ease of use, and US cuz they have better discount usually.

Wow. You are really hardcore man. LOL.

I only have MY and HK accounts. And ya. I also ends up only use MY account for ease of use. The HK account is specifically for purchasing Chinese version games that are not available in MY PSN (eg. Bandai games).
*
Not that I wanted to. I created amost of it during ps3 days when MY doesn't have store, you can only have either SG or HK.

And that time the only store fill with goodies is US Psn, that's why till now I'm still sticking to US as my main account. All my cloud save and trophies is at this account.

I see on Shopee loads of R2 games are cheaper hence why I did it that way. I have US,MY, UK, NZ accounts LOL.
*
That only applies to grey import of physical games.

U go into their psn store and check the price.

If you want to buy dlc or know that there's dlc coming out soon that u want to buy, stay away from r2.

The original question is on purchasing dlc, so r2 is expensive on its store with lesser promotion and discount most of the time.

I have multiple accounts too. Main is US. Also created during PS3 era when some games are only available for specific region. And US's items are cheaper. But now the US psn+ is more expensive than msia's psn+. I even got EURO account for FF14.  doh.gif
*
I have ff14 too. UK sub is cheaper that the rest of the world somehow. .i keep mine in US thou. I play it on pc and ps4.

I didnlt create UK account last time cuz I think SE UK reject my CC.

And for PS+, I buy from cdkey. Its usually on usd29.99. Before that is from amazon black Friday sales. Usually on usd35 to usd40. I never bought it at usd60.

Yeah the order of PO received. So start from 12th all the way down to latest one but subject to the stock allocation. So let's say for example if 100 people ordered on the 12th and you are #100 but they only receive 99 units this time, you will be slated for the next. The ones they call up will go to collect and/or settle full payment.

Called cause my PO is on 14th. High key hoping will get in the soonest batch.
*
14th still can get PO? I thought all sold out at 12th on the Sony stores?

I think what he means is he is the 14th pre-order for that particular store.
*
Don't think that's how I read it. They open a 2nd pre order list for 2nd batch I think. Which he po on 14th.

But some of the 2nd batch got move to 1st most likely.

If he is 14th on queue, its most likely confim can get on Friday edi. The store have more than 50 units ea

I know some of the stores did cont to PO/wait list until 15th of so

yes, the coming few days are gonna killing me..

my main excitement to play on ps5: 60fps, fast loading, quiet in my room and the free ps + collections games(some i havent played)
*
60fps babeh. I'm holding off all the games that can't hit 60fps on ps4 so I can play it on Ps5.

Monster hunter on 60fps 4k is glorious.

yup, i havent bought any games since FF7R, just want all games to play on ps5(GOT, TLOU2 and the coming cbp.2077)
i feel inferior playing games at 30fps on ps4 compare to PC players, this time, finally, 60fps is standard.
*
30fps is not that bad if it's consistent.

Unstable frame rate is the real killer. It affects the flow and our control of the game.

Like dark souls 3, you know you press the button, but the response to the game was slow cuz of fps dips. Or you press too fast cuz the game decided to pick up on fps again.

Games like HZD is still OK as it has very consistent 30fps with correct frame pacing. Your hand and eye coordination can adjust to the constant frame pacing.

Overall, 60fps >30fps

Sony logistics just contacted me for address confirmation
They sending out today and will use Gdex

err.. gdex good ah?

Gdex is horrible. Same as nationwide or citi link.

But those are the cheapest courrier service for cooperate accounts.

Kena missing item, reroute till dunno where, and only will attempt to deliver 1 time, then need self collect. Lol.

But that was a while ago, I hope they improve their service.

If you got the tracking edi, u can call them and request for self collect. Might be faster. 😏

Difficult to sell the Pro Leh, loads of people selling low and the higher ones have warranty etc, mine no longer does.I won’t be surprised if the PS4 pro prices go up a little after PS5 is out here cuz a lot of people might have panic sell and might buy back if can’t get PS5.

That's why I need to bundle lo. Entice ppl to buy mer. Hehe.

I have a bit of seal games, think will bundle with it.
