PSN/PS4 Region Locking between PAL Territories

SilentDissident on 14/05/2016 - 00:08

I have an understanding of the region locking that applies to the PS4 (DLC will only work with a game disks from the same region and DLC codes are locked to a single region)

I understand that America and Australia are treated as completely separate regions on PSN.
However I am confused if other PAL terrorises (UK/Europe) is treated as the same or completely seperate regions from Australia. Have read conflicting information online as to which is the case.

Specifically I wanted to use a European DLC code with a European game disk on my Australian PSN account.

    It's very rare that this happens. If worse comes to worse you could always make a psn account under a UK alias, redeem it, then switch accounts. This shouldn't be needed though

    Yep as above, 99% of EU codes work here as we all share the same store just using different currencies. The only problem comes when the content is not licensed for a particular region.

      So if a title was commercially released in Australia it should all be good?

        Yep, just take it for granted that what you're buying will work. It really is rare for it not to. If it doesn't you can make a UK account, download the DLC and it will work when playing through your AU account.
