um.... not sure about UC2 but if you want to buy an American DLC, you should get an American PSN card (not sure if Canadian works, it might) and buy it off from your American account, assuming that you don't have American credit card

You can put money on the PS3, you just need a credit card.

No i mean like, put it on the actual ps3 and any account you login onto has the balance and you can just buy off the store on the account.

Each PSN account has its own separate wallet. If you need dlc for a US game best bet is to hit eBay for a US PlayStation Network card and use that code to put cash in the US account. Also, as an FYI, Canadian cards will not work on the US account.

Yep there is nothing else you can do other than buy the correct DLC Region for the game on a different account or trade the game in altogether for the correct region. For the record Credit Cards ain't region locked lol. You can use a UK Visa or MasterCard on the US PSN Store. Either that or you can buy a PSN Card.
