LittleBigChallenge

Need a bit of help from our LittleBigCommunity. Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere – we’ll still be here to provide community updates on all things LittleBigPlanet. Whether its community, new items, random internet findings, we plan to bring it to you…but as our audience gets bigger and bigger, and with LBP2 on the horizon, even bigger and broader, we’re looking to re-name our “Sack-it-to-me” posts to something better!!! Any ideas? If you do, add them to your comments below…

Here’s you chance to win a PlayStation PSP 3000 system!

The MacArthur Foundations’s LittleBigPlanet Kids Competition has been extended to May 28th. If you’re below the age of 18 and want a chance to win a new PSP. Click on over for more details

PlayStation HOME – We’ve been having so much fun in the new LittleBigPlanet HOME space, we wanted to make sure everyone knew to drop by PlayStation Home to check it out. Make sure you jump in and play the “Snap Happy” challenge and make your own XMB wallpaper!
Sackboy in ModNation Racers – We just got copies of ModNation Racers in the office and can’t wait to start Racing, Creating and Sharing. I’m sure you all know that in specially stickered copies of ModNation, you get a free voucher code inside for a Sackboy costume + Craftworld Kart. And while opening our copy, we realized there was one more freebie not mentioned…the actual sticker from the wrapper :)

Mm Doodling – the MediaMolecule staff is a sneaky bunch and managed to capture fellow Molecule, Rex, in the doodling zone. Love the video!

Sweet — Sackboy in MNR, and Tag in LBP! Just wish the Tag costume cost the same as Sackboy’s Mod.

+ Pirate43 on May 21st, 2010 at 3:23 pm said:

+ Dragonzblaze on May 21st, 2010 at 3:27 pm said:

how about sacknews

+ midnight_heist on May 21st, 2010 at 3:32 pm said:

I just got MNR, but didn’t see any copies with the sticker.
Is there any other way to unlock the offical sackboy skin?
I love LBP, and I really want it. :(

+ Mark Valledor on May 21st, 2010 at 8:29 pm said:

Wait…how’d you get a copy so soon?

+ QuizPyro on May 21st, 2010 at 3:38 pm said:

sacknation weekly

+ crowsticky1234 on May 21st, 2010 at 3:40 pm said:

How about “LittleBigNews” or “Give me the Sack News”.

+ Pro_espace72 on May 21st, 2010 at 3:40 pm said:

How about Sacky News ?

+ tha_con on May 21st, 2010 at 3:49 pm said:

I think maybe something like “Sackstreet Journal”, or maybe SNN “Sack News Network”?

+ Spinout209 on May 21st, 2010 at 3:50 pm said:

I pre-ordered at Gamestop, will I be getting the Sackboy DLC too?

+ dotCody on May 21st, 2010 at 3:55 pm said:

When was the last free costume for LittleBigPlanet PS3?

+ s8an1 on May 21st, 2010 at 4:01 pm said:

How about….

Little..Sackboy
Big…..News
Planet

or maybe SackAlert

Alerting all Sack-eteers!!!

+ SpyDudeFX on May 21st, 2010 at 4:03 pm said:

Can you get clarification on the karts? Let me see if I understand this:

If you pre-order from participating retailers you get one of the three characters/karts + one of four mystery mods/karts and if your package has a sticker, you also get the Sackboy mod/kart? What about those of us that will get Kratos, Ratchet and Nathan, is there a possibility we could get three of the same bonus mods or are they tied to the respective codes? Or is it random?

+ NEJI64 on May 21st, 2010 at 4:09 pm said:

@13 How are stuck on firmware 3.15? Did you try downloading update 3.30 from the PC, and then uploading it to your PS3. Its three ways to get update 3.30, if none of those don’t work its you not Sony.

+ CJSgamer on May 21st, 2010 at 4:12 pm said:

how about LittleBigNewsdesk

+ mywhitenoise on May 21st, 2010 at 4:16 pm said:

I like #7′s suggested “Burlap Bulletin” title.

+ Amiiba on May 21st, 2010 at 4:16 pm said:

I didn’t know if it was single response or multi, so I decided that I would right all my ideas and here they are:

Sack-Tsunami!
Sackatoa!
Sack-In-The-Saddle
Sack-It-Up
Boom-Sacka-Laka
LittleBigNews
Midnight-Sack
Sack-Attack!

+ Mark Valledor on May 21st, 2010 at 9:34 pm said:

Multi is fine…the more the merrier. Lots of great ones so far. If anything it seems a bit “sack”-sided. Lol

+ Feral_Dragon on May 21st, 2010 at 4:17 pm said:

Nice update, but more animal costumes for LBP on PS3 please, I loved the first two sets! Like Hyenas and African Wild Dogs, cos they have cool patterns.

+ Mark Valledor on May 21st, 2010 at 9:37 pm said:

Yeah, were loving the latest batch too!

+ wolfzero1 on May 21st, 2010 at 4:19 pm said:

too bad that clown costume isn’t in the PS3 version, I’d get it

Burlap Bulletin would be a good name

+ StargamerX on May 21st, 2010 at 4:22 pm said:

How about: Sackbots Unite!

+ Zookey on May 21st, 2010 at 4:34 pm said:

Are ya guys going to have something cool or an announcement next week when the winners of the Game Changers (non-kids) are announced on Tuesday?

I have no idea for the new post name (why not keep it Sack-it-to-me?)—if I come up with one I’ll be sure to post it here!

+ Mark Valledor on May 21st, 2010 at 9:39 pm said:

Count on it…were excited for the finalists.

+ MoneyMaker110 on May 21st, 2010 at 5:06 pm said:

i like sack it to me. it’s something we say sometimes when we’re playing and give each other five, really a slap, in the game.

+ WWESuperstar on May 21st, 2010 at 5:13 pm said:

Man, Tag looks awesome. I am definitely going to purchase that costume to compliment my copy of Modnation Racers =)
