Too young to play?

So I've just completed Dragon Age: Origins. Loved it, brilliant game and it was the first game which I've enjoyed enough to buy DLC (minus the occasional game of the year editions), so I go online and get to looking, choose a DLC from the list and buy it.

Thing is, I'm 17. In the UK the game is an 18+ and I'm stupid enough to of put my real date of birth on my PSN account. My parents don't care about me playing an 18, I mean, I'm 17, I'm legally allowed to drink in my own home and at a pub with an adult, I can live alone, I'm allowed to have sex and have been allowed to for a year, and with a little practice and a test I'm allowed to drive, yet I'm not old enough to play the 'Witch Hunt'?

I downloaded it on my dad's account and tried playing it on mine with my gamesaves and everytime I tried to play it it would come up with an error message telling me to sign in to EA, and I can't sign in cause I'm a year under the age when I'm allowed to have an EA account for that particular game.

So since I've already wasted a fiver on this game does anyone know a way to get onto the DLC's without being signed on to Dragon Age servers?

The more annoying thing is the DLC is marketed on my account so I'd assumed I'd be able to play it.

I think your screwed, make another account with you over 18... or i guess wait until your 18 for future games.

I've never tried this but there must be a way to back up saved game data, i've never done it but put it on a storage device make another account and see if you can put it on that account.

Yeah these systems are pretty tight. The best thing to do is make a new EA account I think..

You tried playing it on your account? I don't have a PS3, is there a way to transfer your saves to your dads account? Just play it under his name

I can't open the box to get the option to login to EA, cancels it when I try
