Hi Everyone

Apologies for the confusion surrounding the LittleBigProgressive competition, it was never our intention to provide everyone with Prize Bubbles that contained DLC and therefore required the purchase of that DLC to be able to collect.

So we had to take down the level temporarily whilst we fixed the offending items and have now re-published the level. The level should now contain no Prize Bubbles that require DLC to collect.

For anyone interested in the competiton, you can now find the LittleBigProgressive level here:

Good luck to everyone that enters!

@23: I guess I have no clue. I see levels that have received many likes/hearts, and when I play them, I can generally see why they are popular. Considering that anyone can publish an unfinished level, why should I waste my time playing levels with a single heart? Isn’t that what the entire rating system is for–helping us find content we might appreciate out of the millions of levels available?

I understand that popularity is not always indicative of quality…there are many popular music acts and movie stars who I think lack talent, and I’d rather eat a hamburger from anywhere else but McDonald’s, the most popular fast-food restaurant…but claiming that only people who are in the LBP forums are capable of judging quality smacks of elitism.

Why can’t “you in the forums” play the contest levels and heart them yourselves? What is to stop “you in the forums” from weighing in on the quality of the levels? I’m sure Sony will see your comments and take them into account when looking at the entries.

The level was locked because the “required” items to use for the contest, contained $25 worth of DLC. Since not everyone may have all that DLC they have locked the level and are remaking the said items without using DLC materials, stickers and whatnot.

@#16 Android66, You obviously have no clue how the LittleBigPlanet community works. The “Popular” levels in LBP are definitely not the creme of the crop levels. Like Feral_Dragon said, the “Popular” or “cool” levels are generally copied spam levels. They are the quick and easy bomb/shark/zombie survival levels that require little to no effort to make.
So if they are judging a level based on popularity, this is the wrong route to take. That’s why I suggested the Forum method. We in the forums are very familiar with running crown and/or prize level contest and know what to look for in a good level.

@18-20: The level is unlocked now. It doesn’t make sense for it to get reported for “advertising” if this is Sony’s own contest level, similar to the Prius and make.believe levels from last year. From the in-game comments I’ve read, the level was temporarily locked because it used DLC in the making of the prizes–people who don’t own the DLC can’t use the prizes from the Progressive level to create their own levels, and therefore can’t enter the contest.

But, as I said, it is unlocked now, so I guess the problem has been fixed. The LBP.me link is: http://lbp.me/v/dky80b

Will the downloadable version of Little Big Planet on PsVita be available for preorder on the PS Store?

The Level is locked and I think is because it got reported for “Advertising”. I would suggest that MM Picked levels shouldn’t be aloud to get reported because they have been played and chosen to be MM Pick.

Hold on, hold on. Why was the contest closed? It had AMAZING prizes, and I already begun making the level! Can anyone respond as to why the contest was closed?

I rarely play LBP anymore, the community is a joke and just downright shameful. The cool pages are just a bunch of spam levels. Everything is getting stolen from the real creators. You`re really gonna have the winners picked by a bunch of spammers who wouldn`t know a good level even if it smacked them in the face? Nice contest, BAD way to pick the winners. Looks like the good, deserving creators will get shafted again.
