The latest patch for Little Big Planet, 1.07 is now available. It comes as a surprise as it’s barely 24 hours since the 1.06 patch was released.
Yes, there is definitely a strong smell of cheese around here. Patch 1.07, codename: ‘Roqueforte’, hits us hard with 67Mb of stinky goodness. This is by far the largest patch to date for Little Big Planet.
Patch 1.07 integrates the PlayStation Store in to the game (LittleBIGStore), allowing you to view previous purchases, re-download previous purchases and quickly and easily buy content whilst in the world of Little Big Planet. It’s yet another great addition to the game, I’m sure you’ll agree. It also brings the much asked for ability to export photos to the hard drive, which isn’t quite as in demand as the ability to import them, but hey, now there’s more of a point to the in-game photographs. (Thanks Redswipe!)
Official Patch Notes:

Additional fixes
Thanks to John in the comments and other users online who have pointed out that there are some additional fixes going under the radar.
- Text Bubbles are now the colour of your “Profile Colour”
- Proximity sensors now have an option to be triggered when all the current players are in the proximity.
- The material properties glitch now apparently no longer works.
This comes, of course, with perfect timing as on the 23rd of December we’ll be seeing what people are calling the best ever DLC in any game ever, arriving in Little Big Planet. Yes, the Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Kit - if you have not yet seen the trailer, we suggest you check it out.
Take note that the next update will be with us, apparently in the ‘next couple of weeks’. It’s called Cornish Yarg and according to Teddington Cheese, it has the following characteristics:
Cornish Yarg is a moist cheese which tastes fresh and creamy with a gentle tang. The cheeses are matured for a minimum of three weeks but maturation can take up to two months. During this time the crumbly paste becomes softer at the edges and this texture then advances towards the centre. The flavour becomes less tangy and more musty with age.
Hmmm. So. That begs the question - will update 1.08, Cornish Yarg, include image importing? Has update 1.08 matured enough? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the Roqueforte...
oooo comon when will they give the update whitch lets you import pictures from your file im begging it comes out soon
if you could little big planetoid can you try out my levels put in azman007and try all my levels there awsome!!!
I just noticed that 1.07 has added the ability to export in game pictures to you hard drive 
Thanks Redswipe! That’s great news, not as good as having the other way around but still good!
The patch is AWESOME :D Now I really hope the new DLC comes fast…
wow hats cool i wish they would bring the update soon thogh please ceck out my levels at azman007
There are a few minor changes as well that aren’t mentioned, including; Text Bubbles are now the colour of your “Profile Colour”, and now proximity sensors have an option that triggers it when all the players are in the proximity.
Thanks John, I’ve added your notes to the article.
Maybe 1.08 will have more trophies for the FF pack!!! or for the Killzone pack!!! Or even for a future pack that we don’t know about yet but will find out about soon enough!!! maybe it’s a sonic the hedgehog pack? Or a mario pack! Or a zelda pack! or a… (this could go on for a while so i’m ending now.)
Cool upcoming patch 1.08. Hmmm Will we be seeing a big patch for ‘the real water material’, or ‘a velcro sackboy’?
Be cool though.
I just wish that Media Molecule had put up warnings in the game news section about the bugs in this new update - I spent 2 days building a fully functioning laptop keyboard to find that all my work just disappeared and the autosave function is broken. They just rushed it to cash in on Christmas - very shoddy…
Guys, didn’t MM say that everyone would get the paintinator even if you didn’t buy the pack? Also I was one trophy away from the platinum, do I need the MGS trophies to get it?
It is a shame this new patch seems to have killed my autosave function.. well on one psn profile, on the other works ok been trying to find anyone else with simliar prob
Well its a great update but my main concern is that it had killed my autosave function. i cant save levels, prizes, costumes and lots more.
I finally aced the ‘bunker’ and have to do it again now.
is it possible to make it downloadable onto my computer so that I can transfer it to the ps3, because when I try to update the game it never goes past 5 or 6%.
for some reason when i update, it never goes past 7%. is there a way where i can download this update onto my computer?
thanks
Help!
Everytime we try to download this update, it won’t get past one percent. It’s not a problem with our internet, because we can still download other files larger than this one. Does anyone know where you can download this online?
Anyone who still has problems with this download: one thing you can try is turning off media sharing in xmb menu > setttings > network connections, apparently this helps some people.
