    Folks,

    I am looking at getting the COD Ghosts Season Pass and CDKeys/Base.com have them for about the €25 mark. The only problem I can see is if the content is region specific.
    Would anyone know if they would work?

    Disc's are region free. DLC & codes redeemed on the Store are not. You'll need a US, Or equivalent, Account to redeem them.

    If your IRE & US accounts are on the same system however, then you can play the Ghosts with the season pass on your Irish account.

    Well they are UK codes so would they work on an irish account?

    Nope. All region stores are different. Set up a UK account to redeem.

    You will be able to play it on your Irish account - no doubt about that.
    You may need to create a UK account to download the game.

    I've tried redeeming UK codes and it never works. Sounds like Shopto want a sale mate so they'll say anything. You're definitely gonna need to set up a UK account, unless they give you an Irish region code.
