So i just dowloaded the latest firmware for my PAL PSP and since then i have been unable to to play the GoW demo.
I made certain that the parental lock is turned off and it does not happen with any of the demos that i downloaded from the UK PSN store (wich obviously would be PAL IF they have any form of region coding)
The message that gets displayed is: "This content can not be accesed on your acount"
I had heard that GoW was having troubles playing on UK PSP's. I don't know if this is for certain though. It also could have been another demo. I would e-mail Sony or call them.

Well i just updated with the latest firmware & im getting the same problem as well with both my god of war & patapon U.S PSN store demos. Also all my other demos downloaded via the New Zealand PSN store work just fine. New Zealand comes under Sonys europe branch so i would assume that New Zealand gets its PSN store content from europe?
Hmm.. that's funny, I've got the same problem but I'm using a Taiwanese PSP with the newest asian firmware. The weird thing is that all the North American demos work, but the Wipeout Pulse demo from the UK PSN store dosen't.... :(
Hmmm, why does this only seem to be affecting Europeans (and New Zealanders/Australians as they come under Europe in terms of gaming) sometimes I think these executives get together and say
"right, what were going to do this week is screw over Europe"
"didn't we do that last week?"
"yeah it was so much fun I thought we'd do it again"
Maybe all Europeans should rise up and have a gaming revolution and overthrow the EA overlords and Storm SCEEs headquarters and demand Phil Harrison come back to SCEE and get it all sorted
Just comfirmed this was an intended change by the sony servicedesk.
Just glad that this time it only affects PSN titles. Next time it might stop import PSP titles like "Tales of eternia" wich was only released in *** and PAL
Does anyone know if this problem is only effected for downloaded content, and not UMD games? I need to know because it would suck, since all games sold in Taiwan are imported from around the world.

It's only seems to affect the downloaded content altough I had this problem even before the firmware update. In terms of UMD games everything is still the same.... :)
How so? A pirate obviously would not downgrade themselves by switching back to official firmware and the pirate version of 3.9 will most probably have the region lock removed
This only hurts the regular consumer who have to switch to illegal methods to get rid of the region lock wich they should have been warned about in advance.
i can't download the new patch and now i can't play patapon...i have the game almost two days now and have to wait until monday to see what the sony helpline guys will tell me. the game stalls in the first loading screen. has anyone else had problems installing the patch. i even tried to reboot the console...but to no avail. i appretiate any help i can get

[QUOTE="kalkhaja"]this isnt true, i have 3.90 and an EU PSP and ordered GoW from the US and it works fine....hot114
This topic is about PSN titles, you might want to try reading a topic prior to posting :) no one specifically said that, i suggest you read the NAME of the topic....fine the tc mentions GoW demo, but still, region lock implies that it applies to UMDs as well, it was not specified...
im not sure if there is a region lock cuz i have the new update 3.93 and a pal psp but all of the demo's r working fine i downloaded the demo's from the US store
My roommate downloaded Crash Bandicoot: Warped and SotN from the PSN on his account. Since it saves it on both accounts I figured I'd put them on my PSP. You can't play the game unless you have your PSP activated, then after that it came up with the "account" problem.
Maybe Sony is targeting people who don't want to pay for something twice?
I think I have an idea of where is message comes from. That happens because you have downloaded contents from a different PSN website. Let me explain this with an example. Say you downloaded a demo from the US website with your US account. If you try to download a Japanese demo from the JP PSN website, you'll have to make a new account, then download Jp contents onto your PSP. This is where the certificate enabling you to play US content will stop working (for now). In short, it means your PSP has got a new certificate that will play all JP contents, but none others. If you want to play your US games again, you'll have to download some random stuff from the US website which will reactive your US certificate and at the same time cancel your Jp one. You do the trick the other way around to play back your JP content.
I have absolutely no idea why Sony is doing this because we should be able to get stuff from foreign websites as it is 100% legal. They don't even allow you to download contents from a foreign PSN website once you have created an account, so you have to make a new one if you want PAL or JP content which makes the certificate invalid.
Actually you guys you get a pop up warning message when you try to download "foreign" contents onto your PSP.
