UPDATE JANUARY 2024 STILL WORKS (#READ #THIS): The 80029780 error appears to have been resolved. I tested the method and got the DLC to work using a Hong Kong account. Moving forward... since there have been intermittent issues lately with the PSN HK servers; follow the method up to the point where you test to see if the DLC is showing up for you under the new HK account. If you see it, try to download the free Honky Tonk Man or free R-Truth add-ons. If they succeed and install, you're fine to go to Play Asia and get the HK$ funds to complete the method with the paid add-ons. If the free ones fail and you encounter an error code, STOP. Don't get the HK$ funds from Play Asia. Check the free add-ons again in a few days to see if the issue goes away.
I tried it this morning and was able to buy the all the DLC characters and downloaded them all but they don't appear as playable....I don't see them as a playable option when I try to play the game...do you know why that could be?
@@darkellthepiercer If the packs all installed successfully, try rebooting the PS3. Log into the HK account you used to get the packs and start the game. Check the DLC icon on the wrestler select screen (the icon is directly to the left of John Cena). They should be showing up there.
Never played this game before, bought it a couple of weeks ago and was super disappointed I couldn’t get the dlc, this worked perfect for me, thanks man!
TL:DR - this 100% worked for me on 15 Apr 2022. I bought this game several years ago only to find out that the DLC servers were offline in North America. I was pretty mad about that and abandoned play the game because of it. I even emailed THQ Nordic to see if the servers/HDDs were anywhere that could be hosted. To my surprise, they wrote back and said while they had the drives, the lapse in licensing prevented them from putting them back online. On a random chance my YT feed brought up a "revisiting WWE Allstars" video from 2021 that talked about the engine, playthrough, and the DLC. I ran to my PS3 and tried to access the DLC with no success. A fast search brought up your video, and with some skepticism, I followed the steps you provided (with PS3 device keys being something new for me, but whatever, no issue), and got this to work with maybe 2 hours of running to and from my PC and getting the code from PlayAsia. It was great to have Jerry Lawler and Michael Hayes take on the Big Boss Man and Jake Roberts. Thank you for the work, research, and video!
That's awesome to know, and I'm glad it worked for you! Also, credit due to the community here who have been reporting in about the recent server issues. I wouldn't have been aware there was a problem without their support. Looks like things are sorted and working again. Happy gaming. 😎
I can confirm for anyone who may be suspicious, this 100% works. Just did everything right now, and I can finally play as the dlc characters. I just want to say thank you for this strategy. You rule, homie.
I’m about to try it but thanks I’ve been looking to do this for so many years I’ve never had the dlcs always wanted them thanks you just legit made my day with this
i used to play all stars on psp when I was a kid but i would only play the modes as DX and other wrestlers that game was fun I kinda enjoyed it while it lasted and also I kinda miss all stars
Yes Sir! As a matter of fact, I just came back to RDR2 recently and had to break a horse and nearly pulled up the video myself to remember what I did. 😆
Thanks man! Please share any other DLC work arounds that’ve gone missing in action over the years. I wish I could get the SVR 2009 dlc still. And really bummed I missed out on AfterBurner Climax and Outrun online arcade for PS3. They pulled it from the store before I pulled the trigger on snagging them.
The Hong Kong servers are back up and functioning normally as of April 12th 2022. I would recommend anyone interested to not procrastinate. The Hong Kong servers have had issues since about last October and so who knows when they will go down again.
I'm not sure. If you can make a free Xbox account for Hong Kong though, you could check to see if the DLC is showing up using the 360. If it is, same method might work.
Followed the instructions but cant access the downloaded characters any help i set up hong kong account brought the $80 hong kong digital money typed code in got the money then brought the download characters then went into game and no characters in either hong kong account or my main account there in the downloads section but cant access them can you help me out if u can
Did you see all the DLC packages confirmed that they installed? If so, reboot PS3, and check the DLC icon in the wrestler select screen. They should be there.
question, does this same method work for the other wwe games with missing dlc like svr 2009 2010 and wwe 12 and 13 (i already have the dlc for 2011 and 2k14)
@@notoriouszak Sounds like the issue discussed in the pinned comment. The error messages vary in numbers, but all are seemingly indicating the HK servers go down from time to time for reasons we aren't completely sure of.
I deleted it off mine and the DLC stayed. Just make sure you load up the game on your main account and make sure it's showing up there before you remove the HK account.
@@AidanDownes_KH damn I wish there were still available in the USA my only option is either I mod it or ask someone to use their account to get the dlc you probably would say “no” if I ask you this but idc it’s your choice 🤷♂️

The issue is likely with the HK server. They seem to randomly go down for a few days for unknown reasons. I'd try getting the free HTM/R-Truth add-ons maybe once a day until they're back up. Once those two succeed, you should be able to get the rest of them.

You can use any email, but make sure it's a valid one that you have access to so you'll receive the redeem code after you buy the digital card.
