Well, it’s not surprising really. LittleBigPlanet players snapped up the MGS4 DLC goodies like nobody’s business during January, firmly placing both the premium level pack and the costume pack at numbers 1 and 2 respectively for January’s top downloads from the PS Store.
Awesome sauce. Everywhere.
It’s also interesting that the list, revealed in the latest episode of U.S downloadable PSN gaming show Pulse, features 6 items in the top 10 that are related to LittleBigPlanet. The game is seriously hammering the nail of DLC and additional content - the flag-bearer, if you will.
LittleBigPlanet: All your DLC belong to us.

go little big planet yay
Excellent! I say, now we are in for more map pack fun. This will be a good incentive to produce more. Me want FF7 map pack!!!!
Good point, Jay. This is definitely good news for anyone who is hoping for more level packs. What company could resist that much potential money?
Why in the world are you so happy about this?
It’s like Oblivion’s horse armor, except not functional. The fact that these things sell really well (or, at least well compared to other things on PSN, which I assume is not that much, if Force Unleashed DLC ranks so high) only means that they will never be free.
I wonder how this list would look if Home item sales were included in the same rankings.
To some extend, I could agree with you Flipyap. I find the single costume and the Street fighter pack to be a little bit expensive . However the MGS level pack is worth every your cents… When we’re talking level, I think it’s only fair to pay a little money to enjoy the result of someone’s work. Plus, nobody forces you to buy them and honetly, you don’t need to buy every single costumes.
I think the balance of free/paid for content is about right at the moment.
Though what I personally would like to see, is a quarterly free sticker pack. It wouldn’t have to contain as many stickers as the paid-for packs, but some free stickers once in a while would be much appreciated in the community, and of course promote level creation.
i think they should do a competition or vote to see what costumes people want such as lara croft or something and then when the vote ends they make the costumes with the most votes and put them on the store that would make evryone happy
HELGHAN LVL!!! VIVA KILLZONEEEE n of course da costumes too
Flipyap: I wouldn’t really pay for any of the stuff myself, except things like the MGS Paintinator pack, but if it’s funding the servers, keeping Mm in business to carry on supporting the game, I’ve not got any problem with it to be honest.
It’s better than having to pay an MMO-style subscription to play the game anyway.
(btw, if you’re the same Flipyap (not that I’ve seen any others d: ) who made the Sack Crusader level, I thought it was great! Really does deserve more plays and hearts)
The fact of the matter about all the additional content we’re providing is that if we didn’t charge for it, it wouldn’t exist. Of course there’s a commerical aspect to it, but we’re committed to offering new content to anyone that wants it, while never cutting anyone off from playing any of the new content we release.
Costumes will certainly be the most commonly released pieces of extra content and we’re hoping to provide something for everyone, but expect to see the variety of increase over time. The bigger MGS-esque packs take a lot longer to pull together so they’ll be more infrequent, but there are definitely more in the works.
