With the holidays almost upon us, this week’s Sack it to Me has a little bit of everything for those who didn’t find their LBP goodies over the weekend shopping rush.

What’s New?

Are you ready for some team building?
This week we just released an update that includes the eagerly awaited “Online Create” mode, allowing you to create levels, objects and more with your online friends. Check out this update page on the NEW LittleBigPlanet.com for all the info.

New on the PlayStation Store

We just updated the PlayStation Store with some great LBP items, including the coveted Assassin’s Creed II costume. Now you can scale walls and jump from rooftop to rooftop in style as “Ezio” Sackboy.

LittleBigStories
We’ve heard some great “LittleBigStories” about LBP being a part of everyone’s lives – so much that we decided to create a few videos to document them. Take a peek at “Family Fun,” then let us know your own stories. We just might start telling your stories/videos in upcoming Sack it to Me posts!


Community Levels!

Here’s a new batch of LittleBigPlanet (PSP) level picks by Cambridge Studios:

  • Tinker Tower v2 by JKthree – A complex level featuring some really good, hardcore platforming action.
  • The Frozen Kingdom of Skadi by Lleonard – Explore the dangerous ice caverns to find the Temple of the goddess Skadi. This level has a great sense of scale and is crammed full of ingenious challenges.
  • Sandstorm by Jaeyden – A beautifully presented Egyptian adventure. Some great platforming and puzzle solving in this level.
  • The Lost Crystsal Caverns by ryryryan – A great level with lots of satisfying platforming and puzzles. Nicely presented, featuring cool characters and storyline.

For the Weekend…

  • LBP + Sack Boy + 4 controllers = Family Fun Fun Fun

  • Sony’s marketing division is retarded. Christmas coming up, they should have had the plushy Sackboy toys that were given away by SCEE in April in shops or on Amazon, sold seperately or with the game/console. Parents and kids would lap them up.

    Still want to see a section put in the game specifically promoting handpicked great user levels. 5 or so creative levels, changed every week, under Search Options. Could be based on themes (Christmas) or styles (black and white). A complete wasted opportunity so far.

    Whatever happened to the Sony version of Sackbook too? Sony closed the brilliant Sackbook down a year ago and that was the end of it. There were rumors of a Sony approved version but a year later nothing. Another wasted opportunity and a slap in the face to the innovative Sackbook creator.

  • See here’s the deal about user content, while alot of it may not be “cool” some of it is. I just hope once my level has been published people actually play it. If the user base content has a bad rap then really whats the point? I just hope i can prove that wrong because I’ve been working on my level for months now and i really want peole to enjoy these levels as much as i like to make em.

    On the subject i adore the free content it keeps me coming back and everyonce in a while i’ll grab some DLC and pay for it.

  • Try my LBP Playstation HOME level based on NA central plaza.
    even threw in europe home’s monorail. Was model on home prior to 3.1 update.

    Best looking look NA HOME level.

  • Ijust wish sony would stop lyingto me on the phone as to why im having DNS 80410410 errors when i try to log into ANYTHING with my account, I ought a PSP Go and a 16gb card aswell with the cradle and all for this to happen, a system dependent on PSN, hump… Dont get me wrong,i lovemy psp go, its the best but sony and there infastructure is really under par to the usual Sont Quality i am used to. I am really sadden with this issue for i tried everything from port forwarding to dmz to formatting and restoring my psp go AND card (which really hurts)… 3 days of Time Warnder Costumer service, Sony Reps and Linksys.. ive had my network running solid for years with almost 30 mbps (on psn thats reduced to 2.3 to 6 mbps because of psn server stress ) and for sony to have me with the run-around is Really not cool. Sony you really need to fix this issue IMMEDIATELY!!

  • @55 I would highly doubt its a server side issue being as how it’s only you having this issue. As far as I know DNS errors are 99.9% of the time caused by a bad/dieing router. Perhaps it is time for a new one. Only time I get DNS errors is when my media server crashes while watching something HD. Now I am no expert on networking, so keep that in mind.

    I don’t know if sony will allow this link but it is the same problem as yours and appears to be solved.

  • @ 55 my comment addressing a fix for your issue is awaiting moderation. So fingers crossed sony will let the link through to help yah out.

  • LBP is awesome

  • I’m exited because I have LittleBigPlanet and ever scince I heard that online team creating was in the works (and that was a while ago), I have waited eagerly. Sony you went right with the patch. I cant update the game because I have GH5 paused for the “Play It To The Bone” trophy. Alas, LBP is even cooler now.

  • I have to say where I thought this post was going to make me a very happy girl all I am is angry now. I have both hot topic shirts (even though they are guys shirts) and I bought a case I didn’t need from Best Buy so I could have the little SackBoy, finally there is a figure and guess what? Not in the US. Last time there was a shirt at Kohl’s I search 3 different locations plus 156 pages of tshirts on their site and didn’t ever find it. Select Kohl’s…how do we figure out which are select. Finally a girls t-shirt and you put the thing a lot of girls dread on it horizontal stripes (makes people look wider)! And still NO PLUSHIES!! I was hoping their would be lots of merchandise for this very popular character but to my suprise insted of using his popularity to create cool swag there is practically nothing. Don’t you see the people paying big money to import stuff on ebay? There is money to be made here folks! SackBoy is supposed to be Playstations mascot. Why am I not finding SackBoy PJ’s and tshirts and keychains and jackets?! AND PLUSHIES!!!!!!!!!

  • I think LittleBigPlanet is a family exicted game OMG LOL

  • The create trophy is pretty unfair, that’s the only thing keeping me from having the platinum. You should know that not all your players will be picazzo or Otera, you really should have been more flexible with that BS trophy. EPIC FAIL in that aspect.

  • Hi Mark, since you’re a SCEA Marketing Manager, I want to give you feedback on PS3 3.10. Maybe you can help?
    1.Please allow the option to choose the “system start-up” I want.
    a. Original “Sony Computer Entertainment/ classical music”.
    b. New “PS3/ neo-classical music”.
    2. Allow me to have the XMB icons/words stay visible or fade.
    3. Allow me to turn on/off the “adticker” in top right corner.
    4.Please allow me to choose which “media boot-up” screen I want.
    a. Original “PLAYSTATION 3/ jingle” splash screen.
    b. New “black screen/ no jingle”.
    The original splash is comfortable and heart warming!
    5. Please bring back basic black! I want the old black colour theme with my sparkles please!
    6. Allow me to turn off the Whats New icon, completely removing it from my XMB.
    Everyone loves customization. LBP is all about it! Many PLAYSTATION 3 users would use these XMB options.
    Thanks for your hardwork, I know Sony is trying to make PS3/PSN/XMB better,I appreciate that. I know SCEA may not be responsible for the changes, so please let SCEI know too. Happy Holidays!

  • I was hoping water would be more of a mechanic than “here, your level is full of water now”. I imagined buckets that would slowly dump water into each other that controlled doors, things like that. Maybe I’ll wait till next November when they come out with the Sand beta.

  • For once I’m glad to be from the UK. I’m ordering that Sackboy tomorrow!

    Though I wish it was a proper plushie toy but it looks like a plastic one.

    Still, a sackboy is a sackboy! :D

  • cute, but I want a life size (8 cm is it?) knitted or cotton Sackboy to sit on my PS3.

  • Wow thank god for the online create mode, me and my buds have been trying to make levels but it sucked having to go to each others houses, Really Excited!!!!!

  • Great,its god damn $1:99!!!
    It’s a costume for christ sake!

    It should be worth $0:99!!!
    yeah,take more money out of our pockets MediaMolecule…

  • Just ordered a sackboy figure :)

    only thing?

    there is a “rare” sackboy figure of him doing the angry face.

    looks [DELETED], and the whole point people want sackboy is for his happy face :/ retards.

    If i get a stupid angry face one, I’m sending it back.

  • Sell us a Sackboy plushie already.

    At least I can get the Sackboy Figure at Firebox.

  • NA merchandise for LBP stinks.
