I want to run this by people here and make sure i got it all worked out

from my research, while PS3/PSP/PSV hard copy games (not downloaded from the store) aren't region locked their DLC is locked to the store of the region the game come from,
example - Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk. II brought from the US has DLC which will only work if you buy it from the US Playstation Store and not the EU or JP stores

So i want to confirm this process, if i'm wrong then can someone correct me, i'm working off the fact that i have a EU PSN Account and i'm getting US DLC (and by EU PSN Account i also talk about AUS as well cause i brought DLC for Tales of Graces F with my AUS PSN Account even though the game came from the UK), the whole point to this is having your entire trophy collection assigned to one account regardless of where you brought the game

-For PS3-

1 - While not signed in, Run game so that Trophies are installed into system
2 - Log into EU PSN Account and Sync Trophies
3 - Log out of EU PSN Account
4 - Create US PSN Account (using a US Postal Address) and sign in (or just sign in if you already have one)
5 - Transfer Funds from visa/master card to PSN Wallet
6 - Buy DLC for US Brought Game, Download and Install (the install will occur after the download automatically and can't be canceled when it starts)
7 - Sign out of US PSN Account
8 - Play Game with DLC (DLC should work weather your online or not, didn't needed to be signed in to play Tales of Graces F DLC)
9 - When i want to sync my Trophies again, sign into EU PSN Account and Sync

-For PSP-
Same Process but i don't think there's any PSP game with trophies, i havn't found any

-For PSVita-
Apparently from what i read the PSN Accounts are bound tot he system so you can't just log out but so a full system restore in order to rebind to a different account

1 - While not signed in, Run game so that Trophies are installed into system
2 - Log into EU PSN Account and Sync Trophies
3 - System Restore system with memory card removed so to avoid an accidentally reformatting of it
4 - Create US PSN Account (using a US Postal Address) and sign in (or just sign in if you already have one)
5 - Transfer Funds from visa/master card to PSN Wallet
6 - Buy DLC for US Brought Game, Download and Install (the install will occur after the download automatically and can't be canceled when it starts)
7 - System Restore system with memory card removed so to avoid an accidentally reformatting of it
8 - Play Game with DLC (I don't have a PSVita but i assume DLC works for it much like the PS3 and you don't need to be online for it)
9 - When i want to sync my Trophies again, sign into EU PSN Account and Sync

There's not, trust me. The PSP's firmware didn't even have trophy support, therefore none of its games could support it.


Anyways, that was a nice read. 8D
