LittleBigPlanet (PSP) – Official Release Date + Packaging Unveil:
It’s official! On November 17th, 2009, you’ll be able to take Sackboy on a completely new adventure. LittleBigPlanet (PSP) hits the store shelves and now you’ll be able to Play, Create, Share…everywhere. (We know you know, but there may be others out there…) And with a little more than a month away until release, we’re excited to unveil the North American packaging, so you know what too look for.
NOTE: Our designers had a bit of fun with the packaging and you can proudly display your Sackboy pride at home. So if you own the original LittleBigPlanet (PS3) or LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition (PS3), you can “wonder twin powers, activate” a mini-mural for your display. (Please forgive my blurry camera phone pics…but you get the idea.)
What’s New in LittleBigPlanet (PSP)?
As we ramp up for launch, we’re getting a lot of questions asking about LBP (PSP) and wanted to start answering them with a series of posts to provide more in-depth details about the game. For our first post, we decided to refresh you with our very first trailer…enjoy!
PS – Send us your questions so we have more topics to discuss!
LBP (PS3): Game of the Year Edition – User Spotlight
In the LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition, one of the bonus levels features an intricately designed tank with an equally fun level, which will have you on an adventure to clear a path for your uber-armed vehicle. Thanks Sean for making such a cool level and sharing your story with us.
You can find Sean’s and other bonus levels in the LBP: Game of the Year Edition. For those of you who have the original LBP and want to play these bonus levels…

Castle of the Witch Queen: Part One by Bercilak
Part 1:
ConfusedCartman: This level is very well designed with an obvious emphasis on storyline, characters, and atmosphere. Not only will you be jumping on Gargoyles and hanging from conveyor belts, you’ll actually help transport an amphibian through traps and other obstacles. Interested in discovering why all of this is important? Give this level a try and find out!
Also, keep an eye out this afternoon for the latest LittleBigPodcast from our friends Daniel and Austin. This week is episode is #35 (WOW!).

Anyone hungry? Great find from Mm.
FREE DLC @ SonyWonder.com
PLEASE don’t be the guy/gal that buys these codes on eBay when there are tons more FREE codes for the LBP community. Just check out our partners page on SonyWonder.com. Just, everyone, don’t all go there at once like last time…flash mob + internet = uncontrollable tech issues. We should be good now, but if you have any issues, please be patient, close and re-open your browser and you’ll get a new code.
Where is Dr. Manhattan’s blue [DELETED]?
I’m loving the looks of LBP PSP so far. Can’t wait to get my hands on it, will be great to be able to play one of my favorite games in LBP anywhere!
Nice job on the box art too.
That Sackboy Bento Box looks delicious :3
No fair, I only have 1.02 in my wallet and Rorschach is 1.99. =(
Any chance of you releasing other characters, such as The Comedian and Dr. Manhattan costumes as well in the future?
I liked “Sack it to Me” when used to be about answer questions, rather than being redundant advertisements we already get on the weekly PSN update.
Where is the water DLC release date and the LONG OVERDUE ice hazard that was previewed to us?
I repeated myself before, but it seems like it aint happening.
Obviously the SITM posts evolve week to week, and while we realize our existing community wants more new updates, we still have tons of fans that aren\’t as informed, so we have to cater to them too.
Have no fear, we\’re working on something pretty big that will cater to our needs.
As for Water, its still in the online beta phase.
