CoD 4 Variety Map Pack now out on PSN…but caveat emptor: it’s region
Posted by: admin in PS3 Game NewsAs promised, those of us who own Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the PS3 can now enjoy four new multiplayer maps! I bet you 360 owners are all going, “Been there, done that,” but you’ve already been playing on Killhouse, Broadcast, Chinatown, and Creek for the past three weeks — so keep quiet and let us have our moment in the sun, okay? The map pack is now available on the PlayStation Network for $9.99.
But there’s an important side note to the map pack. In a post on his blog, fourzerotwo warns that the map pack is region-locked, so you’ll have to log in to your own country’s PlayStation Store to purchase the DLC that’s compatible with your disc. In other words, don’t bother trying to download the map pack through an international friend’s account, you pirates:
If you’ve the GERMAN version of the game, you MUST buy the GERMAN version of the map pack.
If you have the UK version of the game, you MUST purchase the UK version of the map pack.
Just make sure that the Disc version and the Map Pack version matches up. If you’ve an [sic] UK version of the game, DO NOT buy a German version of the map pack. It won’t work. The same goes for any other mismatched version.
Apparently, Infinity Ward is speaking with Sony to try and figure out a solution for people who have already spent the $10 on a non-compatible version. One more thing of note that the press release (after the jump) mentions is the release date for the PS3 version of the GOTY edition of CoD 4: apparently, it will be out on May 6th, and it’ll include the same free token for the Variety Map Pack that the 360 version does. Either way, I’m going to download the maps later tonight — who’s with me? Or do you have them already? Remember, the Double XP Weekend began as of 7:01 PM EDT, so hop on the PSN and get fragging!
