    It's certainly possible that the EA App won't immediately recognize your purchase either—that's happened to a couple people registering packs in the last few days—but that should probably be resolved soon as well.  How soon, I have no idea.  I'm just saying that can't be intentional and that the App is supposed to recognize all Origin-owned content.

    So yes, you can go ahead and purchase whatever DLC you want, and if it doesn't work now, it should in the near future.
