Hey all,
We’ve been working with our North American retailers to promote the release of LittleBigPlanet in October 2008. And now that the “planning dust” has settled, we wanted to share early details of our pre-order campaign for you to decide which item you’d like. Stay tuned for much more detail on which retailer will have what pre-order item and when to go to your favorite retailer to reserve your copy.
Here’s the master list:
The Official “LittleBigPlanet Creator” MiniGuide by Brady Games – This exclusive digital guide is a primer for LittleBIGPlanet’s CREATE tools and provides users with a quick tutorial to begin developing their own levels.”
LittleBigStickerBook – For those of you who love to customize – this item is for you! This exclusive sticker book contains some of our favorite LBP imagery for you to apply your own ‘mash-up’ to your favorite possessions. Or take something else you own and make it your favorite!
LittleBigPouch – Keep your LBP game safe and protected from the elements with this exclusive burlap pouch. Its so unique and stylish, it would make a SackMother proud.
Exclusive Nariko SackGirl – SackBoy’s beware! Nariko SackGirl has been known to keep other SackBoys (and SackGirls) in check. This exclusive downloadable costume features our favorite heroine on the PS3.
Exclusive Kratos SackBoy – Nuff’ said. Yes…the forum rumors were true – but the biggest question remains “why didn’t this guy smile?” Seriously, this is another exclusive downloadable costume that will elevate your SackBoy status to godlike proportions.
Keep an eye out for more LittleBigNews in a few days…

Great ideas! I was thinking along the same lines with presentations, ever since E3. I’m definitely going to find some way to do a school presentation with this!
Also, Sony, you could really use this for marketing, too. Advertising new games with specially themed levels for download, or that are aired on tv. And then you can have a little disclaimer that the ad was entirely made through the tools found on LBP! That would be totally awesome!! :)
One thing that I was wondering, though, is wether or not it is possible to add through DLC (if it’s not already there) a way to create a competitive level, where the sackboys race to the end getting past all sorts of obstacles, either on the same track or different ones. The idea first came to me thinking about a U.S. Election 08 level, but as far as I know if characters get too far ahead the laggers would just respawn closer up, thus defeating the point of any competition….Is this a realistic thing to add?
Also I think Ellen and Keats from Folklore would make great sackboy/girls as well as Rohn from Lair, and all the rest that everyone has already mentioned.
Regarding racing, you\’ll be able to do that out of the box. There\’s tons of competition elements in the game – collecting the most score bubbles, online rankings, actual starting gates & finish lines, etc. So you should still be able to make your U.S. Election level. Can\’t wait to see it.
