Kaz Yamauchi has pledged to solve the problem with locked-down single PSN ID Gran Turismo 5 DLC in a series of explanatory tweets this afternoon.
We reported this morning that purchases of the DLC were locked to a single PSN user, which caused considerable upset amongst those of us that – for example – buy on one account and play on another.
“Regarding the DLC usage for multiple accounts,” he said, “we’re planning an another update for GT5 in December. In that update users who purchased cars and tracks from the DLC already can receive a free ‘family upgrade’ in the PS Store, which will let all users in the same PS console use the DLC.”
“And though we looked into this,” continued the Polyphony head, “unfortunately there’s no solution for crossing multiple regions. I’m sorry, but we have to ask you to match the region of your disc and your PSN account setting.”
“People who bought the DLC cars will have those cars added to the dealers in the December update.”
He also teased a special Christmas present for those that have purchased ‘multiple DLC’.

*Wipes tear from cheek*….tear of laughter :-O)
Good sense prevails! with this smart move from Kaz. Bought the DLC pack yesterday using my PS+ discount saving a few quid, so should be able to afford a box of tissues in readiness for the next episode! :P
