LittleBigPlanet: Early Copies Spotted

+ Posted by Mark Valledor // Marketing Manager, SCEA

Looks like a lucky few LittleBigPlanet fans have started to receive their copies over the weekend. We wanted to provide a quick update for the those eager to get online. Whether you want to start playing with your friends, sharing your creations online or getting your mitts on the pre-order goodies… hold tight.

Looks like our production line churned out new copies quicker than our original schedule, and a few of our retailers did what they could to take care of the fans who pre-ordered ASAP. If you’re one of those, take advantage of the headstart by unlocking all the goodies on the disc and start PLAYing and CREATEing and check back here or on the LittleBigPlanet News Site (really, really) soon for updates on the server and pre-order redemption status.

Exciting times ahead…

Team LBP

can you send me a copy of the game please? ;(

+ EnigmaNemesis on October 26th, 2008 at 12:14 pm said:

Got mine yesterday.

So the Kratos Code from EB also unlocks the Medusa and Minotaur as well as the levels?

+ Mark Valledor on October 26th, 2008 at 2:30 pm said:

yup…but its not actually \’levels\’ its a sticker pack to help you theme your own levels

+ titusf on October 26th, 2008 at 12:14 pm said:

I can’t wait to get mine in tomorrow! Loved the beta and I have a few level ideas that may knock your socks off!

+ SpiderBoy36 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:14 pm said:

I just finished Story Mode. It was terrific!

+ Ramza on October 26th, 2008 at 12:15 pm said:

+ Mark Valledor on October 26th, 2008 at 2:31 pm said:

+ Ramza on October 26th, 2008 at 12:17 pm said:

Scratch that, just finished them all!

+ disunion on October 26th, 2008 at 12:19 pm said:

Very happy didn’t have to wait until next week to get my hands on this one. Just started playing. Had family in town and we’ve been getting down with the early levels. So far it has definitely lived up to the hype :)

+ masteratt on October 26th, 2008 at 12:20 pm said:

Hello Mr Marketing Manager;

Here in the UK, other than a plug by Jonathan Ross, we are not seeing any LittleBigPlanet adverts on TV.

Surely you have something planned?

Just wanted to know.

+ Mark Valledor on October 26th, 2008 at 2:36 pm said:

UK has some great TV spots. Not sure when they plan to air your PAL TV sets, but should be soon if not now.

+ kingv84 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:21 pm said:

I should have mine in the mail tomorrow or tuesday, I can not wait. thanks for the update.

+ BabeBro on October 26th, 2008 at 12:21 pm said:

I can’t wait for the servers to go up! Good job on getting the games to us soon guys!

+ Jenovah on October 26th, 2008 at 12:21 pm said:

Got mine early! Congrats to everyone who worked on it, It’s a shoe-in for Game of the Year.

+ matheaks on October 26th, 2008 at 12:22 pm said:

Awesome! I wanted to pre-order,but I never did.. :(

+ arkangel220 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:24 pm said:

Wow, great news for LittleBigPlanet fans like me!

p.s. any news on a Crash Bandiccot sackboy or a Lara Croft sackgirl? since their both PlayStation Alumni…

+ Mark Valledor on October 26th, 2008 at 2:38 pm said:

PlayStation Alumni…i like that.

+ AdeptHavoc on October 26th, 2008 at 12:32 pm said:

Awesome! Even though it was delayed, I’m finally getting it!

+ gbovo on October 26th, 2008 at 12:34 pm said:

Hey Mark,
I was asking Jeff Rubenstein when LBP TV ads would start showing. He said he’s seen some but I was wondering when will SCEA kick it up a notch? The LBP TV ads aren’t being shown as frequently as the Motorstorm and R2 ads. Also, since LBP has a broader range of appeal, will it be advertised on family oriented networks like ABC/CBS/Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network/Disney etc, or will it be relegated to the usual gamer channels like MTV/BET/Spike/ESPN and G4TV?

+ Mark Valledor on October 26th, 2008 at 2:44 pm said:

We had spots on air starting 10/7 and will continue to run up to Christmas. Don\’t worry the kicking will start shortly when we have more games on the shelf – as you can see the initial roll out of copies are going directly to the pre-orderers. And yes we\’ll have the broad reach, but will need your help to spread the word further (WOM is far more effective than advertising IMO)

+ Starrynite on October 26th, 2008 at 12:34 pm said:

Woo, I got mines too. Just waiting. Does anyone remember seeing like that spacesuit Sackboy pic, how in the world would one obtain that.

Im rocking a Wedding Dressed Sackgirl currently, her gown looks so impressive when running jumps and such lol.

+ Gooddaysfall on October 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pm said:

Is anybody that got a copy having trouble with putting in the codes for Kratos Sackboy cause mine isnt working and I got my game early too from gamestop.

+ EViD on October 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pm said:

I hope by that you mean the servers will be up in the next 24 hours.

+ matt2793 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:36 pm said:

I just went to gamestop yesterday and picked up my copy. I didn’t preorder it AND it was the last and only copy… i love this game.

It was not a huge surprise because I was also a lucky member of the beta.

Can’t wait until the servers are up! Kudos to Sony and Media Molecule for such an amazing game!

+ Half_life000111 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:38 pm said:

Got mine yesterday….. wish I could get that god of war level……… if only my code would go through *tear

+ SuperDuckWC on October 26th, 2008 at 12:38 pm said:

@ramza
“right now im just a ninja pirate lion with fairy wings on my back and chicken wings for arms!!!”

hahaha, I want a picture of that! It looks like my 2007 halloween costume, but without chicken wings

+ EViD on October 26th, 2008 at 12:40 pm said:

@Gooddaysfall

wait for “updates on the server and pre-order redemption status.” They are not up yet (including the “I was here week 1″ space and cool shirt costumes).

+ serversurfer on October 26th, 2008 at 12:41 pm said:

When I pre-ordered from GameStop, they gave me a code that unlocks the three GoW costumes. When I picked up my copy yesterday, the gave me a second code that unlocks the GoW level.

Currently, neither code is redeemable though. (Neither is the Nariko code I got from BestBuy.)

+ marcindpol on October 26th, 2008 at 12:42 pm said:

hey Sony!

i will not buy it until i play it!

better release a demo!

+ BigVic on October 26th, 2008 at 12:43 pm said:

Oh happy day!! I can’t wait f or the servers to pop up!!

+ benzboi92 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:44 pm said:

Man, I got the call from Gamestop, WENT to Gamestop and they told me “Didn’t you get the call?” and I was all “Yeah, I got the calls…it said Saturday” and he was like “Oh, only half of the stores got them. We’ll have your copy Tuesday.”

Anyways, I guess all I can say is you win some and lose some since I got Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank before it was due out due to “shipping errors” LOL! This is why I love Sony marketing, Haha.

+ EvoAnubis on October 26th, 2008 at 12:46 pm said:

Got mine from GameCrazy!

+ rexor0717 on October 26th, 2008 at 12:49 pm said:

I got mine! Throw those servers up! After playing the beta, the game doesn’t feel complete without it.

+ linebeginstoblur on October 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pm said:

If you’re referring to the recent 1.02 patch, I don’t see any changes when it comes to being able to connect online… But I guess I should be lucky I can play the story “early” since the new release date isn’t until the week of… tomorrow.

+ XxBigP123xX on October 26th, 2008 at 12:51 pm said:

Put the servers up for the costume downloads please. I feel like I’m getting ripped off by not being able to download the pack already…

+ Gooddaysfall on October 26th, 2008 at 12:58 pm said:

Ok Thank You EViD! Hey do u want to add me? My PSN ID is my blog Username “Gooddaysfall”

+ Mana Knight on October 26th, 2008 at 1:04 pm said:

@ 29, there was a beta to try it out.

Anyway, I got my copy and I’m really love it. Can’t wait until I can redeem my Kratos code and play it online. :D

+ StalkingSilence on October 26th, 2008 at 1:07 pm said:

Glorious. Can’t wait to get my copy!

+ linebeginstoblur on October 26th, 2008 at 1:13 pm said:

@37: Yes, there was a beta, but it was closed, and I bet you that the only people who got in were people who were already excited for LittleBigPlanet. What about those who haven’t heard of it and would like to check it out before throwing down sixty hard-earned dollars on it? Though I was lucky to get in the beta, and I was already planning on this being a first-day purchase, I sympathize with @29. Give those who are unfamiliar with the game a chance to try it out.

+ Drackir on October 26th, 2008 at 1:13 pm said:

I got mine on Friday! Can’t wait for the servers to go up! :D

@Mark: Is there any word about the beta levels being included in the final game? Mine doesnt show the levels I was working on in beta.

+ KazeEternal on October 26th, 2008 at 1:13 pm said:

^^ glad to see you guys didn’t forget about us, thought it was odd that I couldn’t download my goodies. Guess this whole reprint of the game has you guys all mixed up.

+ Scodo_Thope on October 26th, 2008 at 1:14 pm said:

Sweet! GOT MINE!

They really are crazy at GameCrazy (no sack though-next week?)!

LBP FTW GOY!!

+ wavesln on October 26th, 2008 at 1:17 pm said:

Still waiting :(

+ solidreid on October 26th, 2008 at 1:18 pm said:

i got my copy, LBP IS THE GOTY hands down! LBP ftw!

+ Frylander101 on October 26th, 2008 at 1:18 pm said:

The best game I have played in a long, long long time.

+ ftwrthtx on October 26th, 2008 at 1:19 pm said:

Nice to hear some people got it already. Delays suck.

+ jazzyrider on October 26th, 2008 at 1:21 pm said:

Wow – glad to see you guys keeping informed over the weekend! Now if we can only get those servers up… ;-)

+ Jeigh on October 26th, 2008 at 1:29 pm said:

Based on the writing style, this really was a quick update. I just get this feeling that you were writing this with very, very little time to spare. Don’t overwork yourself- then who will work complain to? (Probably your successor, huh? :P )
