Guitar Hero 3 PS3: Local DLC available?

A Workaround:
It seems some bright spark from http://www.ps3.co.za/forum/ has found a way to beat the system and download some extra content available on the European Playstation Store. It does involve some dubious fiddling of the user location field though.

The steps are simple enough to follow:

1) Create a new gmail / internet based email account
2) Create a new user on your PS3
3) Sign in under that user name
4) Register that user name on PSN
5) Under the location tab enter any UK town and its relevant postal code (Google is your friend)
6) Enter your new gmail / internet based email account
7) Enter the store and download the free pack

Erm, thats it folks. Unfortunately actually downloading the charged-for content is proving to be a hiccup. The Playstation Store seems to cross check your credit cards billing address (doh!) with your fake credentials and cancels the transaction. I'm not sure if providing false billing addresses would solve the problem (or even if there is a field to do this), I'll leave that to someone else to find out - having done so to access Live! I'm not looking for another possible lawsuit.


As LazyGamer pointed out, and backed up by Burns4711, the irony is palpable. PS3 users having to sidestep the system to access a PSN feature, well I never..... Local Xbox 360 users are gleaming.
