A playable LittleBigPlanet demo will be finally released next week to coincide with the release of the Game of the Year edition of the game. The new edition of the game and the demo will be out on September 10th 2009. The demo will contain a hand full of in-game levels and mini-games to play by yourself or with 3 of your friends, the ability to customize your Sackboy and plaster levels with a variety of stickers and objects, and a handful of community levels.
With Firmware 3.00 now available, you can spice up your XMB with new animated themes. The first animated XMB theme (if you don’t include the stock XMB ‘wave’ theme) is now available on the PlayStation Store. But for a price. The LittleBigPlanet XMB Theme, showcased at GamesCom last month can be purchased for $2.99. Although it’s fairly cheap, Sony should have just given away these theme for free.
Today, SCEA has announced LittlebigPlanet, the Game of the Year Edition. The game ships to stores on September 8th for $59.99 with a “Sackful” of bonus content. Bonus content includes 18 user-made levels, 7 add-on packs from the PlayStation Store and for a limited time only, access to the ModNation Online Beta. Altogether, the bonus content adds up to over $30 in savings.
LittleBigPlanet for the PSP is almost here, though it depends on which retailer you trust. Play.com has noted the release date as November 20th 2009 but Amazon has it down for October 30th 2009. The game will retail for £24.99 (approx €30, $42). Plus, check out the cover art on the right (click to enlarge).
This week, inFamous costumes will be available to purchase from the PlayStation Store for LittleBigPlanet. You will be able to dress up your Sackboy to look like the Cole MacGrath, whether you are feeling evil or nice. No prices have been mentioned for the SackCole costumes yet. Check out the cool looking costumes below.
