Grand Theft Auto V will be getting post-launch DLC, though Rockstar has warned fans it will be region-locked.

A post on the Rockstar Support page advises fans against buying discs from other regions as it will result in issues when pre-order bonuses and DLC come to be played.

"It is generally recommended that you buy and play games that are designated for your country to avoid potential problems with DLC region-compatibility," it reads.

"For example, a North American PS3 GTAV disc (BLUS31156 code on spine of box), Japanese PS3 GTAV disc (BLJM61019 code on the spine of the box) or Asian PS3 disc (BLAS 50639 code on spine of box for Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan. BLKS20442 for Korea) will play on a European PlayStation®3 console.

"However, if you live in Europe (where the GTAV disc code is BLES01807) you will likely have a European PSN account that will not be able to redeem a US pre-order code, and will only be able to download Region 2 (European) DLC, incompatible with non-European discs."

I don't get the point of this.
 
I agree with you there, I really do not get the point of it either. I personally always buy the game for my region so this will not affect me. I can not see if affecting many people though it's like something that is pretty pointless to be honest unless they have noticed an increase in people buying games not for their region.
