  • I like the EU steelbook packaging best.

  • I want the LBP2 Holiday Wrapping Paper! Where can I get my own?

  • Haters on the blog – Confirmed!

    LMAO Mark Valledor just made my year. That line should be common rhetoric for any Playstation related site.

  • OMGOSH!! The demo and the full game both come out on my birthday! What are the chances of that??? AWESOME!!! ^_^

  • I have a serious question! Please help!

    I have the CE pre-ordered the moment it became available to pre-order in Canada, but I don`t feel easy about it as I`m scared I won`t get all the pre-order goodies.

    You see, the EB Games I pre-ordered it from gave away one of my pre-order items to a random customer before. The clerk told me their new managers policy is to just give away whatever pre-order stuff comes in the boxes to ALL the customers that walk in their store. Now I`m scared that when the time comes, they`ll give away my Sackboy plushie and costume vouchers.

    So my question is, if they give away my LBP2 CE stuff, who do I go to?

  • Im sure this was covered before but. . Will the costume packs/add-ons carry over? How will it work? If you can say. .

  • Erm, I hate that PlayStation Move Compatible logo. I’m sorry, that thing is plain ugly:(

  • I can’t wait.

  • Game of the decade. I can’t wait for the plushie and bookends.

  • loved the 1st game to death, can’t wait to play the 2nd one :)

  • @Feral_Dragon #104 I Had This Problem Before with game stop stores near me the guy at the store is usualy steeling the pre order goodies to sell online. so stand up for your rights an refuse no less than sadasfaction a full refund since they could not fulfill the order of idems you paid for and go buy it on line through game stop or any other wellknow game dealers and you should have no problem getting your preorder goodies this is now what i do.

  • Just preordered the CE. Price looks solid for what’s included. Much better than other CE’s IMO. Everything I’ve seen so far looks amazing… can’t wait to play!

  • i saw a DS3 controller bundle with LBP on bestbuy.com for $59.99 , when is it gonna be available ?

  • oh btw i have 2 collectors edition pre ordered already

  • bonita la caja de la Collectors Edition ojala tenga la oportunidad de comprarme esta Collectors Edition junta con la helghast edition del killzone 3 es lo mejor que e visto para la ps3

  • This makes my life more complete loved LBP1 now LBP2 is gonna be more amazing can’t wait. Good thing i pre ordered ages ago

  • Any chance LBP2 PS3 Bundle?

  • Versus levels?

  • Is Stephan Fry Back As The Narrator? He is a brilliant man.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    please oh no ahhh i cant take it oh man i think im having a heart attack.

  • I’ve got my collector’s edition pre-ordered and I’m currently in the beta, Life is good!!! 8)

  • Final Art is much better than the previous box art. Good job MM.

  • Wow, I really wasn’t interested in this game, but along with that sexy box art and the free Move game coming next week, I’m seriously considering the collector’s edition on release date!

  • This game does support 3D right? It doesn’t really state it on the boxart… which is dissapointing

  • @103: The demo comes on the 22nd of December. The game comes on the 18th of January. You have two birthdays?
    @122: Sexy boxart? Oooooooooooookaaaaaaay. Not awkward one bit.
    @118: I thought a guy named Ashley was the narrator. Hm. I think Kevin Butler should do it.

  • @106: Agreed.
    LBP2 CE HD PS3 OMG FTW

  • Please make the sackboy that comes with the collectors exactly like the sackboy should be its looks different in the picture i first saw it looked like its wasnt sackboy at all like on the cover. another thing please dont make the trophie so hard the heart one last time was annoying but the others were fair. allow us to change the color of the costumes that would be sweet instead of one color and then haven to stick your self with stickers i mean stickers are cool but some didnt look right. also the pop up lasso thing that you use to change your costume we want different colors or where we can change our own color because there really wasnt many selections and we want variety or our own mix an match colors

  • What’s inside the collector’s Edition ? And how much it will cost?

  • I have a question. Why is there Christmas wrapping for the ps3 if this game comes in January? You were giving me false hopes there… I taught LBP2 was coming out for December… would’ve got it… such a shame… :'(

  • hey mm would like to have stuff in my pod like a basket ball power glove hoop …… im pretty shure u know where im going whith this

  • Have had this prepaid since it was announced…the CE edition.

    Plus, the 22nd is my birthday. I hope the demo is substantial enough to be play-over-and-over-again material, because that’s what I plan on doing.

  • love LBP, these pics are awesome. Nice box art too. Can’t wait for this to come out, hope I get into beta :)

  • Does the asian version get a CE?

  • Got access to the beta from an IRL friend who didn’t want their code, and I have to ask something – why January 18? There are only a few minor bugs, and I have a hard time thinking they could take that long to fix them.

  • *GASP* CAN I KEEP THE CE BOX?

  • Gonna be GREAT! Can you buy that wrapping paper, or does it come with the collector’s edition?

  • I lost my LBP save data when my PS3 exploded and I had to get a new one, will there be any way to get all my LBP1 unlocks unlocked again? I really dont want to have to 100% ace every level in the first one again just to get building materials when I have a Platinum on LBP 1 as proof of my past endeavors…

    But the beta was pretty awesome up until I found that out! Thanks

  • plz respond back 2 me im number 126

  • Hey, Mark! I have seen in various areas that the Beta invites for next week are for more random LBP Contributers/ Players, but yet I have also heard that this batch of invites are for just PS+ members… Any clarification? I’m not too concerned, considering the demo in the next few weeks! Also, does the demo share the same servers as the beta? I would really love to play some of the awesome levels the beta members have configured! Thanks again! You guys are doing a great job! Keep it up!

  • I think you should team up with build a bear so kids could go build a sackboy or girl of their own.

  • would like 2 know answers lol dont mean 2 nag just some good ideas love this game one of my favorites along with assassins creed

  • Have had my collector’s edition preordered since April, can’t wait to finally get my hands on it :)

  • We pre-ordered the collector’s edition, my whole family LOVES LBP and we can’t wait for the 2nd one. :)

  • Please have the same awesome-sauce Game Manual you had with LBP1 :)

  • @106 I completely agree wish they made it less intrusive like MS did with their Kinect cover art.

  • Is there only the one collector’s edition? I pre-ordered at Gamestop and they can’t give me any specific info on it. Just want to make sure I get the big box and not just the “Gamestop exclusive costume” or whatever.

  • yeah thats anothing thing we would like added more stuff for your pod to make it way cooler plus these other things Please make the sackboy that comes with the collectors exactly like the sackboy should be its looks different in the picture i first saw it looked like its wasnt sackboy at all like on the cover. another thing please dont make the trophie so hard the heart one last time was annoying but the others were fair. allow us to change the color of the costumes that would be sweet instead of one color and then haven to stick your self with stickers i mean stickers are cool but some didnt look right. also the pop up lasso thing that you use to change your costume we want different colors or where we can change our own color because there really wasnt many selections and we want variety or our own mix an match colors

  • y do i feel like the good things that should be read like one of my comments are always ignored lol

  • @13rand0 what a noob

  • I don’t know who to contact for costume ideas or even if they are taken into consideration but I think a Daft Punk and Deadmau5 costume set would be beyond cool.
