Just one of the very nice user created levels you should be avalible to download on the games release via the NYC's Parsons School section/channel.

An 80GB bundle was announced for the EU a while ago. Does anyone know if we will be getting it? As I know the bundles vary across EU regions sometimes.

I'm curious - everyone seems (understandably) excited about the prospect of creating their own stuff in LBP, but nobody seems to be saying much about the actual playing of it... is it gonna be a situation where everyone is making stuff that nobody is playing?

Reason I had the thought is from watching that Shadow of the LittleBigColossus video.. it might have been impressive but it didn't look like particularly good fun. Especially as whenever he died Sackboy just materialised past the part that gave him trouble (particularly noticable was the tongue part where it didn't look possible to make the jump, so he just cheated past it). I assume this was part of the testing mode, but nonetheless I hope the platforming is actually fun in itself.

That was development code - he had the ability to put Sackboy wherever he wanted, on the full game you'll only respawn at valid checkpoints.

I hear some people who were in the Resistance 2 Beta are getting sent keys for this. So if anyone gets sent one and already has it feel free to pass it on to myself!

Would be greatly appreciated.

I would imagine the ones that SCEE are sending out will be PSN ID locked, same as the other betas.

Sony still hate me, of course.

Like you, I didn't think much of that level as it looked a bit crap.

The platforming itself is a lot of fun in the few levels I'ev got access to but they're only the opening sections so not that challenging really. I think one of the reasons that people seem to talk about the construction is because it sort of feels like it is actually a part of the game rather than a seperate thing which isn't usually how these things feel. That's probably not a very good description but I can't think of a better way to describe it really.

Just had a quick check and I can't see anywhere selling official LBP tshirts yet.

Anyone seen any?

[Brad]

Got me a key! Yeeehaaa!!!

EDIT: Off a friend. I haven't found some new source of keys.

I bet this'll be a popular issue!

Anyone going to subscribe for the plush? I'm quite tempted, but when/if a subscription is taken out, are you told there & then if you'll get the free gift?

[Number45]

I honestly don't get how they're going to do that. I'm going to buy the issue, but what chance of being in the first fifty of, what, 20k+ monthly readers?

Also, my postman likes to ruin anything posted through my door.

Just pre-order off shopto? Free 3 inch sack boy plush.

You'd think that they'd have some system in place to let people know, so we'll/I'll find out tomorrow when I give them a call.

I'm assuming that the Playstation ones are going to be made of some soft material, decent size & of reasonable quality whereas the Shopto one is a '3 Inch Sackboy Figurine' & I think made of plastic.

EDIT

Anyway, Sony would be daft if they didn't make loads of official merchandise/plushes. They'd sell them by the truckload, so surely something's 'in the works'.

[Rossco]

If not then I'll take the idea to Dragons Den and make millions!

Tetris in LittleBigPlanet

Is there any way to find specific levels like this one in the game?
