Voucher codes in different regions?

Hi everyone,

 

Just had a quick question about how PSN voucher codes work when using them in different regions. I have been sent a legit code from a games company for taking part in a beta, and I wanted to gift this to someone through a  YouTube competition, however I am based in the UK whereas others may be based around the world. 

 

This code has no real price tag, so will it work in the US as well or just in the UK, or is the code strictly locked to my region? I have looked online but most questions regard PSN gift cards, where as my product is a code.

It will work all the winner would need to do is make an account based for the code so if it's a UK code then they would need to make a UK account or a JAP code would need to make a JAP account they are easy enough to do. From what i made out so far most member's have a US,UK and JAP accounts anyway since certain games are rare and only on certain stores.

See I thought about that, but wouldn't the code be assigned to that account as opposed to downloading to the PS3 system? The code is for DLC by the way

 If someone from another region won it, there would be no point in creating another account to use it because he or she would also need a UK copy of the game in order for the code to work.

 

Plus its against Sony's T&C's to create accounts for regions we don't belong to.

Sony don't care if you have diff region accounts aslong as they are selling the content from that region, why else would the ps3 be region free with games instead of being region locked.

If Sony didn't care they wouldn't have mentioned it in the T&C's would they.

 Even if they did create another account they'd still need a EU version of the game for the DLC to work.
