Hello guys, I need help!!!

I bought a used CD of Battlefield 3 on my ps3 from Nino store yesterday and I'm facing 2 problems:

1- To play multilayer I need to register my game, but I can't do that because every time I go to "Store", and try to redeem my code it says "service not supported in your country/region"

2- I didn't find the code in the CD I bought (since it was a used one)

What can I do? help is much appreciated!

PS: I will introduce myself later today, probably in like an hour or so
Well how are you trying to redeem a code when you don't have one?

The online pass is a one-time use only. If the previous owner already used it, you're out of luck. You'll have to buy a new one from PSN for it work.

I suggest you return it to him, make a scene, and get another used game.
Yes that's an option, but that's not my biggest concern, my biggest concern is:

Whenever I try to redeem a code (regardless of whether I have one or not) it doesn't allow me, because it says that this is not supported in my country (Lebanon).

So let's say I buy a new code for 9.99$, how can I use it? and what is causing the problem?

I assume the problem is not that I live in Lebanon, because apparently other people living in Lebanon are redeeming their codes ad playing normally....I dunno it's confusing me...

Can my ISP be the problem? or my IP adress? etc...??

Please help!
Well I have a UK PSN account and my game is Region 2.

What is the region of your disk?

Try creating a new account with UK or any European country. It will work
lol, I'm not familiar with this region thingy actually....

How can I know the region of my disk? and what effect would that have? are there a set of rules to be aware of? (excuse me for being a total noob about this...)
Actually...I changed my region to UK and it worked!

thx maba723!

Im thinking of buying a Headset for my ps3 just for BF3 for extreme squad plays xD

Don't mean to burst your bubble, but does your connection have enough upload bandwidth to support voice chat in the game without compromising on the actual game data being sent? I know it's probably a couple of kilobytes for the game data, but if the voice chat is 128kbps, then many connections would have trouble if lower bitrates are not supported.
Man i dont really care if my connection supports it or im gonna have trouble with it, but i just wanna do it xD
and if it works.. then i would say hell yeah. And im gonna start seeing myself as one of those noobs that upload online team/squad gameplays (with voice chat) on youtube that have it all, perfect connection perfect PC'S... xD The only difference is, im a better player in the game
Guys any Idea how im gonna get the Back to Karakand expansion pack on my ps3 ?!

I dont have Limited edition , i dont have money in my PSN account either, nor i know how to put money in my account, also i dont have credit cards or such things either...

So guys, is there anyone that can help me get the expansion pack ?! Im dying to get it and start playing. please guys
Buy a PSN card from pcandparts.com and add the funds to your account.

You don't know how to add them? Google it.
Duude, i know how to add them.. I meant i dont know how to add them from credit cards as i have no idea what their about.. cause i dont have one .

I dont wanna buy a PSN card for 50 $ or 30 $ .. cause i only need like 11 $
Well you really have no other choice if you don't want to use a credit card.
umm guys something very weird has happened!

i got a message saying i should re-download the expansion pack karkland again, the maps of the dlc dont show up as if i never downloaded them. Anyone else have this problem?
Theres a New Patch ..! 1080 MB patch ! (on PS3 that is ) Maybe thats why .
Damn man,
Did you guys check out the new 1,05 GB patch on PS3 ?!
Damn, me , i hate it and i love it at the same time !
Love it cause:
1.Now you can enter empty servers and start playing even if there arnt any players (good way to practice choppers and jets)
2.When a round is complete, and you dont wanna stay within that server anymore, while they show the scoreboard, they added a quit button that gets you out to the Main menu directly !!

I hate it cause :
They freaakin patched the MAV in the recon kit ,
Now i cant get on the buildings and the bridge that i used to snipe from !!
Woah! didnt know i can quit from the scoreboard! AWESOME! i always wanted to rage quit so i can play the same map again. By the way the MAV was a glitch so they had to fix it :(. i just hope they fixed the glitch with the QB-18 sniper or whatever it was called cause my avatar kept looking upwards each time i aimed!
PS3 guys, my cousin broke his leg he cant play football anymore, so he bought a PS3 to keep playing virtually :P he also bought a couple of games with his PS3 from Nino (including Battlefield 3), now he loved battlefield 3 finished to story mode and wants to play online, however the patches he needs to install are huge, I made a quick check and saw that he must download all patches + expansion pack, he has a 2 mbps connection with 10 GB per month, I saw your other topic in here: http://www.lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=10902 on how to download the patches on PC and use the proxy hack to do it on PS3, my cousin has no knowledge in all this kind of things, I will have to do it for him, I just want to know is there any risk of doing this to his PS3 or to this genuine game integrity ?
The most important question, can someone provide me the URL to the patches or the names of the patches so I could download them at work first and go to his home and apply it ??
I heard they are located on FTP servers for EA games, but I need the URLs.
