SCEE Refunds those who bought the wrong Variety Mappack

satisfying?!
I don't think people know the full story of the problem here.
They are offering a refund to people because they were sold a faulty product that won't work with their version of COD4

Only the day after it was released did they change the description of the item on the store to say it was region locked.

What ended up happening is 1000's of people purchased the map pack and the could not play them.

Now they are offering a refund to people for this but these people (myself included) have no way to purchase the new maps.

The PSN store may be region free to access but using a CC to purchase is not. This means that if a person in Switzerland owns the German version of the game then they cannot purchase the map pack from the German Store and visa versa. There's thousands of people no longer able to puchase this map pack now. Plus the swiss get really screwed over. Even after they updated the store they still have the wrong region locked map pack on the store so IW/Sony have really messed up here big time.

Just be glad that they allow the games to be region free. No other home console has done this.

If they're going to have the games region free don't you think the content to go with it should be region free too? afaik this is the first DLC on the PSN Store that is region locked.

Also it's not just a matter of regions, i.e. US, EU and JP. People within europe cannot get the content working with the game they've purchased as different EU discs have different codes on them. If you happen to have a code that's not the same as you're local store you're screwed basically.

Example:

Some guy in France owns the UK edition of CoD4, but buys the French mappack that doesn't work with his UK CoD4 ... so he has to buy the UK mappack.

This would then be the first, all dlc have been the same before (except pal and ntsc). Im not at home so i cant check it out, but from the looks of it you have to download for right country. This is wierd..

To Motion, the PS3 network is region free, so you can log onto areas that you are not in, so I(from the USA) can log into the japanese store, or the European, or hong kong, or anywhere basically.
And still download from there stores. The problems occurs when people download out side of the games region, so they have slight code differences.

What does this have to do with MS?

And by the way, when you send in your 360, you keep your hard drive, and everything on it.

Accidentally deleted it? Its attatched to your gamertag, just download it again for free.
