Issue regarding the premium build of DOA 5 Demo on PS3....

[Asbel Lhant]

Anyone with a PS3 Having trouble getting the DOA 5 Premium Demo code to work? I sure am. I tried one code Tecmo gave me and it failed, I tried one from Joystiq's twitter and it failed. I have another code from Tecmo that I haven't used yet. I'll play it safe and wait until I hear news regarding the issue being fixed on the PSN part. Also if you used your code and it didn't work? Wouldn't it become useless even after the problem Tecmo and Sony is having fixed? Also does anyone with a PS3 have the Premium Demo code working for them on their end? If so then how'd you get it to work? If not then how long it'll be before this little problem is fixed?

Loads of people on Twitter are complaining about this issue, so it seems to be widespread. Same thing with the Ninja Gaiden 3 multiplayer codes.

You used the code after installing NG3 right?

I can't see how that would do anything.

Lol, I can tell you right now that that's because of the game data writing each over. However, that warning only applies to the NG3 DLC.

Okay.

I mean, I was asking just incase...grasping for straws, because you never know.

Well the code is region locked. So if you import a R3 version from Play Asia or something you must use an Asian PSN account. Just make a new user/PSN account with the matching region to solve this issue.

I wasn't trying to sound sarcastic or anything, just acknowledging your information.
