While we’re entertaining the crowds at San Diego Comic Con this week with a peek at LBP2 and some free shirts.  We have some great news…

Over at camp Media MoleculeLittleBigPlanet 2 has just passed “Alpha”! Yay!  And while we still have a ton of work to do, we’re that much closer to release and we’re ready to announce some news you’ve all been waiting, so on behalf of our retail partners and our friends at Disney…here we go…

First things first…“When is LittleBigPlanet 2 coming out?” – You’ll be pleased to know we’re on schedule to have LBP2 out in stores on November 16th, just in time for the holidays.  So whether you plan to be there on Day 1 or need to put it on your big holiday ‘wishlist’, rest assured, LBP2 will be here soon.

Next item on the list…”Will there be any pre-order items?” – We’re glad you asked!  YES, we have several exciting pre-order offers through several retail partners.  Each pre-order consists of 2 parts – a very special costume offer from our partners @ Disney / Pixar and Insomniac; and 4 new “Even More Animals” costumes.  That’s 5-6 different LBP2 costumes just for pre-ordering LBP2.  Here’s a sneak peek of a few pre-order programs coming
soon to our US retailers:

  • Arrrrggg, sorry but im tired of the waiting game. Sony, I really doubt releasing info about pre-ordering LBP2 CE would take this long. Cmon get your heads in gear there are so many fans outside of the US that would love to get their hands on this. Please release the info about Canadian and UK/EU collector’s edition releases. Please this is really unfair.

  • Only one I really like is the cobra costume. The rest are pretty meh.

  • oh hellz yes! just pre-ordered the collectors edition from amazon… itll arrive just a couple days after my birthday (nov 14th) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :D

  • What do you mean, “My game commited suicide” flyinglemur92? I also never left!!!! I thought you were the one who left!!!

  • LBP rulez

  • Hey, flyinglemur92! I asked first! MY BETA!!! WANT BETA!!!

  • Alright, so let’s say you’re broke and won’t be able to pre-order or buy the Collector’s Edition… All that extra content like Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, and all the other stuff, will it still be available as DLC?

  • @333: if you’re that broke, you should be looking for a job, not sitting on your butt playing videogames.

  • NO COLLECTORS EDITION IN UK!? RACISM!!! I DECLARE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey flyinglemur92? You’re off my Christmas card list too!!

  • I just preodered the collecter’s edition from amazon a few hours ago. I’m so excited! :D

  • I Have 2 questions
    1.is the collectors edition available to preorder in Canada and
    2.If it sis if you preorder CE will you still get preorder bonuses?

  • @335 Wow, that’s mature… and dude, before saying something like that you should if this is a kid or not…

  • petequo’s got a very good point.

  • So I really like the Marvel level packs for LBP. But my question is will the DLC for LBP 1 be usable in LBP 2?

  • i cant find the lbp2 collector edition preorder on best buy

  • mpyr, if you have DLC you bought in LBP1, it goes to LBP2. I’m not sure about it being present (like, if you buy it for LBP1 when LBP2 is out).

  • Wait… will there be Ratchet and Clank costume packs in the future? I see that every pre-order bonus will be available on the PSN store save for Jak and Daxter but I’m gettting this anyways =D … Yet… you didn’t say anything about the Ratchet and Clank costumes… So will they ONLY be available through the Amazon pre-order bonus? Please respond because I’m on the verge of ordering this right now…

  • i have the game of the year edition. since i didn’t technically download the metal gear solid pack and the packs that came with the game will little big planet still support them?

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I don’t actually want the beta. It will take the wonderful sheen off me having the finished game in my hands…
    No, scratch that, it will spend about 2 seconds in my hands and five years in my PS3.

  • YES! Can’t Wait! LittleBigPlanet 2 will be GOY! >:D Theres noone to stop Media Molecule from being awesome! LittleBigPlanet FTW!

  • I’ve NEVER Been this exited for a game! ZOMG
