And that's the primary objective for atlus: to prevent the game to be playable on a console that isn't of the same region, which means it shouldn't rely on the PSN whatsoever (which isn't a real region lock to begin with).
You're missing what I meant, it doesn't connect to PSN, it simply relies on the same code that determines what data centre to connect to.

It doesn't rely on the data centre, it's just determined by the same internal backend setting of the PS3 that sets the data centre it will connect to.

For starters there are 13 PS3 regions (2 are unused). To see which one your PS3 is, check the SKU number. CECHxXX, where x is a letter and XX is a number.

For example: CECHA00 = Japan, which has a target ID of 0x83 and therefore must connect to data centre 00 for authentication before connecting to any region of PSN.
