(SOLVED)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Download the compatible DLC for any region PS3 game.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I faced similar problems with many games, e.g. red dead redemption, Need for Speed hot pursuit (while activating the online pass)<br />
But I found a very easy solution.<br />
In my Case I had a UK PSN Account, and I had region 3 (hong kong) version of games.<br />
<br />
And I could'nt get the DLC to work on any of my games. So, I created a Region 3 psn account (because I had region 3 PS3 Games) And Then I made a new PS3 USER, and Logged in with my HONG KONG PSN.<br />
Then i downloaded the DLC from my hong kong account and installed it.<br />
<br />
As the DLC is stored on your hard drive, I could play on my original account.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Make sure you DONT delete the user with the hong kong account, otherwise your DLC will also get deleted!<br />
<br />
BUT.<br />
<br />
<br />
When there are more than one users on a PS3, it will ask you, which user to log in on the start up. (which may be annoying to some)<br />
There is a easy solution to that too!<br />
<br />
Just log in to your original User<br />
Got to USER tab on the XMB<br />
Now press the TRIANGLE button on your user.<br />
Select the 'Automatic Login'<br />
Select 'On'<br />
<br />
Thats IT!<br />

I don't usually download demos while i am playing games, because my internet connection is not very fast and my multiplayer games starts to lag a bit. So, instead I start downloading my demos at night and go to sleep. But, the thought of leaving your PS3 on for the whole night might be uncomfortable for you. Don't Worry!! There is an incredibly easy solution to this problem:-<br />
<a name='more'></a>Step 1. Start downloading the required demo(or any other file).<br />
Step 2. Go to the "Users" tab.<br />
Step 3. Select the "Turn off" option.<br />
<br />
After that, a new screen will appear asking you "Are you sure you want to turn off your console"<br />
There will be a check box beneath it labeled "Turn off console after completing the download" (something like that, i don't remember the exact words)<br />
<br />
Select that option, after that just go to your bed and sleep!<br />
Your PS3 will turn off automatically after completing the downloads.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

Roll the foil around the Pencil tightly. <br />
Step 5. Make it nice, stiff and tight.<br />

Step 7. when it is nice and firm, gently slide the pencil out without damaging you antenna.<br />
Step 8. Put you router antenna in the aluminum foil inside the cavity you made using the pencil!<br />
Step 9. Feel free to tweak your antenna a little bit so it fits perfectly over your routers antenna!<br />
<br />
<br />
Congratulation! you have made yourself a WiFi signal boosting antenna!<br />

Having multiplayer problems on your Ps3<br />
Unable to join certain rooms or game lobbies??<br />
Cant speak in head set??<br />
cant hear in headset??<br />
unable to join private games hosted by certain people??<br />
Unable to connect to media servers??<br />
having any other connectivity problems on your PS3<br />
<br />
Then you are in the right place:-<br />
Follow this FREE guide and you will fix you PS3<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Things you will need:-<br />
1. PlayStation 3 (duh)<br />
2. A Computer<br />
3. A Wireless router<br />
4. few minutes<br />
<br />
Basically you are putting your Ps3 in DMZ mode.<br />
First you should know what "DMZ" is and what does it do?<br />
"DMZ" stands for "demilitarized zone". what it basically do is, it opens all your ports and<br />
puts your ps3 over the router firewall!<br />
DMZ has its risks! BUT when a PS3 is put on DMZ its perfectly safe because PS3 cannot execute "executable files a.k.a .exe" file<br />
but if you put your computer on DMZ it is very very risky!!<br />
MY PS3 IS ALSO ON DMZ FOR OVER AN YEAR AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM!!!!<br />
<br />
okay now lets continue to the guide!<br />
<br />
First you need to assign your ps3 a static ip address to do this perform the following steps:-<br />
<br />
1. Go to Settings>Network settings>Internet Connection settings.<br />
2. select "Custom".<br />
3. select "Wireless"<br />
4. Select "Scan" ( after that select your connection and type in you security key)<br />
5. Select "Manual" on IP Address setting<br />
6. in IP Address type in 192.168.1.100<br />
7. in Subnet Mask type in 255.255.255.0<br />
8. Default router is the internal IP of your router, to get it head over to your computer<br />
Click "START"-----CLICK "RUN"-----Type "cmd"(hit Enter)<br />
Command Prompt will open, Type in "ipconfig" (without comma) and hit Enter<br />
The IP you need to enter in "Default router" option in PS3 is listed as "Default Gateway" There might be a few different networks<br />
depending on your computer specifications but your looking for the Ethernet adapter.<br />
9. Type the default router IP in your PS3.<br />
10.Primary DNS is same as Default router<br />
11.Secondary DNS is also same as default router.<br />
12.Set "MTU" to automatic<br />
13.Dont use "proxy server"<br />
14.Enable UPnP if you router supports it(if you get problems while testing the connection, then turn it off and try again.<br />
15.Test the connection.<br />
<br />
Now head over to your PC, and load up your internet browser. In the Address Bar, (The place where you put WWW.GOOGLE.COM)<br />
type the IP Address of your router (the one you found using the Command Prompt earlier under "default gateway")<br />
<br />
A pop-up will open asking you the user-name and password of your router!<br />
If you haven't changed your user-name or password then enter "administrator" or "admin" as User-name<br />
and type "password" in the password section<br />
<br />
(if this fails then then Google your router for the default login, check on your router label or ring your ISP.)<br />
<br />
every router interface is unique, what you are looking for is a mention of "DMZ" or "DMZ HOST"<br />
when you have found it you will be asked to type in the ip address of your DMZ host.<br />
in this option enter 192.168.1.100<br />
then click apply.<br />
<br />
Turn off your ps3 and restart your router!!!<br />
<br />
Turn your PS3 on.<br />
<br />
Congratulations!! your ps3 is now on DMZ mode.<br />
<br />
This will hopefully solve all the problems mentions above.<br />
(if you have any problem following the guide, then leave your question in the comments section and i will try my best to answer them) <br />
