Big issue here.

Store states the content can be used on 5 activated PS3 systems. Bought this on my kids account as I do with games rated appropriately then tried to use it on my normal account to no avail.

The store does not state this content is tied to a single account, so I've had no choice but to purchase it again under my login on the same PS3.

PSN support are currently following this up and hopefully will credit the 1st purchase back.

Sorry but not paying twice to use on two logins on the same PS3, I don't have to buy two discs do I!

^ The PSN Store and PD/Kaz need to decide which way they're going with this. It clearly states on the GT Homepage that the DLC is only usable on the Account which bought the content, which is in direct conflict with the Stores description.

TBH, the PD method will be used as the PSN store only copy and pasted their usual blurb and forgot to check before listing the DLC.

I want to purchase the complete DLC pack, but there is no Plus discount. Do you have any further information on when this discount will be added? Thanks

The in game notice and GT5 website notice on this went up a couple of hours after it became available, many many people had already come unstuck by this point. Especially the guys at GTPlanet that have created GTP_ usernames just for racing on the site. Alot purchased on their original ps3 account and found when they switch to their GTP_ account it was not usable. This should have been made very clear in the store info. PSN support are going to be very busy today.

What happened to the 11.99 pack I can only seem to buy them individually???

[krioto]

I can't believe how badly they've screwed up the delivery of this DLC - it's just one thing after another.

Hi Keyop,

The description on the store advises you can find out more information regarding Gran Turismo DLC at eu.gran-turismo.com.

The GT site advises:

This is a notice regarding the Gran Turismo 5 DLC, for those who have multiple accounts on the PlayStation®Network.

The DLC released on October 18th is tied to the Account ID used to purchase the DLC. It is not possible to use the DLC with accounts other than the one that was used to make the actual purchase. Therefore please make sure to purchase the DLC with the account that is used to play Gran Turismo 5. 

The specific link can be found here: http://eu.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt5news/d36007.html
