Playstation users can be victim to the Map Pack region locking debacle.



You MUST purchase the version of the map pack which is compatible with the version of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game disc that you have.

But not knowing this ( and how could you ? ) you bought the wrong version of the mappack. You just went over to your 'local' PSN store and bought the mappack.


First:

Buy the right mappack when knowing your BLES code:

All PSN Stores have been updated to allow you to match the stores BLES code to your disc, when you click on the Map Pack in the Store you are taken to a little explanation of the map pack. At the very bottom their is a little explantion telling you that the map pack you are about to download only works with the following BLES code, Example : German Store states - BLES-00149.

To confirm your Disc Matches that BLES code on the playstation store just look on your Disc, just below the PS logo.

If you have another BLES code then would be normal for your country, example: you have the UK version Disc (BLES-00148) but you live in Germany this means that when you download the 'German' map pack it wont work because they are not the same ident !!


Second :

When you downloaded a Map Pack and the BLES codes dont match then you can get a REFUND ! 402 stated that all non matched BLES codes will be refunded.

You can try to contact Sony in the country you live in to make sure you get a refund for that wrong mappack.

---------------------------------------------

The PS3 CoD4 Map Pack will not run with any Version, German , UK, US, HK whatever.

The Region Lock on the Map Pack was done by INFINITY WARD. Not by SONY.

Sony already contacted IW to bring up a sollution a.s.a.p.

SONY appologizes for the inconveniace…
