I to work as i have games which are of region 1, 2 & 3 because when i download the addons it doesnt work. i live in kuwait, Middle-east so what should i do make new PSN account or can i link my old PSN network to another region......

As my Red dead redemption game is region 1 which is US so does that means that i have to make an account on US playstation store will it work as i told i live in kuwait-middle east

DLC is region locked, so in order to use that DLC you need to have an account for that region, and there is no way to link a psn to another region.

So u mean that i should make an account on US playstation store for Red Dead Redemption as it is US version..... will it work as i live in middle east does it matters and while making an accout when they ask ur region what should i put their US or my current region Kuwait

ok, the DLC must match the region of the game, so it is true if you want to use dlc with your US game, you need to have a US account to buy the DLC with. So when creating a new account, the country would have to be US or canada (both are in NA, which is Region 1 so canada and us has the same region.) but I would like to point out, creating an account for an area in which you do not live is against the rulea, I heard of many people who do this however, but I would just like to inform you of this so you are aware before creating a new account.

You will need to create a new user on the PS3, when you first create a user, and sign into the PSN, that User account will be linked to your PSN. and only 1 PSN per user account. No other PSN can sign into that user account.
