The Santa Sackboy costume coming out today is just part of the festive items coming to LittleBigPlanet this month. In some regions next week players will be able to purchase a festive goodies pack which comes with the pictured Christmas tree and mummy-like present costume plus stickers, decorations, and other “fancy objects” to make levels [...]

Sony’s PlayStation Blog mentioned we’re getting a set of LocoRoco SackBoys and a Sack-In-The-Box as downloadable content tomorrow. Japan is getting those items and the MotorStorm outfit already out in Europe for 200 yen ($2).   Next week Sony is releasing a cute Chimera costume from the Resistance series for 200 yen and a Thanksgiving [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is about to unleash a pack of animal outfits for LittleBigPlanet. Of course, these don’t come free. If you want to dress up like a shark it’s going to cost you 100 yen ($1). However, you can save a tiny bit of money if you buy a pack of animal outfits [...]

LittleBigPlanet is all about the user-generated content, and to get a handle on the creative tools at your disposal the developers have included a story mode, demonstrating the title’s level creation techniques within the familiar setting of a sidescrolling adventure title. Setting the whimsical tone for the game as a whole, the introductory movie depicts [...]

The Sephiroth and Old Snake Sackboy outfits cost $1.99 each, which isn’t too bad since there may be licensing fees involved. In comparison to this Rare T-shirt the premium outfits seem like a bargain. Sony is selling this piece of downloadable content for 500 yen ($5) in Japan. Seriously? $5 for a virtual T-shirt? That’s [...]

LittleBigPlanet can be used to design anything and one user made a level where players pick their Presidential candidate. This isn’t as polished as the awesome 1980s shooter level floating around, but it’s a little reminder that LittleBigPlanet can be used to make anything. Remember votes in LittleBigPlanet don’t count so if you’re in the [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan outlined three pieces of LittleBigPlanet downloadable content coming to the PlayStation Store on October 30. Aspiring world designers will be able to get a Piposaru (Ape Escape) costume, the Astronaut suit, and a pumpkin mask. No word on prices for North America, but I would expect these add-ons to cost cash [...]

Sony and Media Molecule are reacting fast to correct the content issue in LittleBigPlanet’s soundtrack.

Seeing Super Mario Brothers remade in LittleBigPlanet is expected, but Chocobo Racing? Hold it right there! A LittleBigPlanet beta user whipped up a short level with the theme of Chocobo Racing. It isn’t close to a full game, but it gets the gist of racing two giant chickens. This is just another reminder that everything [...]

More good news if you’re living in North America and are salivating over LittleBigPlanet. You’re getting the game first. LittleBigPlanet is scheduled to come out in North America on October 21. Europe and Australia can start collecting sponge on October 22, but Japan has to wait until October 31 to play with Sackboy. Technically that [...]

There is going to be a LittleBigPlanet beta! But, only 20,000 people from North America, Europe, and Japan are going to be invited to play with Sackboy before the game gets released in October.

  The original idea behind LittleBigPlanet, the largely user-generated platforming title from Media Molecule, was to give musicians a chance to jam with each other online over the Playstation Network.  As it turned out, using the Playstation 3 as a conduit for collaborative improvisation and rehearsal was a trickier problem than expected.  Luckily, a whole [...]

The first thing you want to do when designing a level is pick a setting. LittleBigPlanet comes with prepackaged backgrounds like the canyon level seen in the GDC build, a beach, farm, inner city alley (complete with graffiti) and something that looks like it’s out of Japan's Edo period. Once a location is set it’s [...]

I just spoke with SCEA regarding LittleBigPlanet and they confirmed the title will come out Sept./Oct. around the world. After I got this information I asked about their plans for the proposed LittleBigPlanet demo. You may remember a demo was supposed to arrive on the PlayStation store last year. The status of a demo is [...]
