[UPDATE]

There is currently a problem with the PlayStation Store, both in Europe and North America. For many users, it is currently not possible for people to purchase this and other content from the store, but we’re hoping that normal service will resume again soon.

PSN user BlahYourHamster has created a level containing all the stickers. So you can “see them before you buy”. More info on the EU community forums.


Leprechaun Costume due in North America on St Patricks Day (March 17th)

Mar 13th 2009 - 3:55 PM

We’re getting a lot of confused emails coming through about the St Patricks Day Leprechaun costume which was not released as expected on the North American PSN Store yesterday.

SCEA have planned to release the costume on St Patricks Day itself, which is next Tuesday March 17th. Sam wasn’t quite aware of this when he made the announcement yesterday, and apologises for the muddle.

It’s only a short wait, so keep your sack-socks on!

It is unclear as to whether it will be available for a week in America (as it will be elsewhere) or just 2 days (when the next store update is).


DLC Info Blowout, new costumes galore!

Mar 12th 2009 - 5:00 PM

Ahhh, the sweet taste of news!
It’s been a bit quiet on the DLC news front recently, with last week’s “Sack it to me” on the U.S blog even saying they were biting their tongue, due to lack of news.

The wait is over today though, as Sam Protagonist just revealed the next five weeks worth of upcoming DLC content. Woohoo! Let’s take a look…

Free Leprechaun Costume later today

Mar 12th 2009 - 11:59 AM

Top of the morning to ya’!

The Japanese LittleBigPlanet site has revealed that a costume will be released to celebrate this years St Patrick’s Day (which is next Tuesday), by releasing a Leprechaun costume!

Leprechaun
Wow. That’s some green you have there.

Aw, surprise surprise, he’s cute!

The costume is available from the Japanese Store right now for free. Expect to see this on the North American and European Stores later today when the stores update.
We’re hoping that there will be some paid for content too, perhaps the Killzone 2 content? Kai and Nariko? Sepiroth? Bumblebee? Buz, Patapon, Little Monkey King? There are quite a few waiting to be released…

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world, mostly by people who aren’t actually Irish - but everyone likes a bandwagon and an excuse to drink Guiness celebrate Irish culture.
Oh yes, and If you’re lucky (or have ‘the luck of the Irish’), you might be able to pick up one of the millions of silly Guiness hats that are available around the world at this time of the year. We literally have about 5 of them, here in the Planetoid observatory. One from Japan!

So, keep an eye out for the St Patrick’s Day Leprechaun costume on the LittleBigStore later today, and we’ll be posting an update of all the upcoming DLC later today too.

Thanks to macaca_nana and spisbell for sending this in. Sorry we were asleep, else it would have been up sooner wink

 


‘Ancient Monkey’ costume spotted on the LittleBigStore

Mar 5th 2009 - 10:55 AM

Eagle-eyed LBP fans have spotted that following the 1.10 patch which came out today, an ‘Ancient Monkey’ costume has appeared in the icon for the ‘design a Sackboy competition winners’ section of the LittleBigStore.
We’re calling it ‘Ancient Monkey’ because it appears to be ancient and it looks like a monkey (plus nick, a regular reader called it that):

image

It’s highly likely that this costume will be free when released, as all the other ‘design a Sackboy competition winners’ have been free. Everyone loves a freebie right?

We’ve only really got one thing to say about this news:
Oooowwhhhhh! Tripppppppiiiitarrrrkaarrrrrrr!”.
Sod it, let’s splash out and embed something incredibly cool:

Remember, people - With our thoughts, we make the world. /discodance

Update: The Monkey appears to be none other than the Monkey King from Journey to the West, a story from Chinese literature that was made into a most excellent 80’s TV show, and was recently adapted for the stage by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Well done to commenters Southe and Joeli83cr for spotting that! Here’s the competition entry:


Patch 1.10 now live

Mar 5th 2009 - 10:39 AM

imagePatch 1.10 is now live, and weighs in at 22Mb. It went live early this morning (GMT time).

As far as we know, it’s a data patch (as opposed to an updates patch - a cheese). Data patches contain new costume data, allowing you to see those costumes when you’re playing online, for example.

We were expecting to see some new DLC costumes this week and a much anticipated Killzone 2 ‘pack-thing’. We’re not exactly sure as nothing specific was announced, but we know that there will definitely be two much anticipated Killzone costumes (Sev and Helghast).

Other DLC coming up includes Final Fantasy’s Sephiroth, Buzz, Patapon, Nariko and Kai from Heavenly Sword and the Bumblebee design-a-sackboy-competition-winner costume which appears to have gone AWOL.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in! That’s you James and Christopher wink


Becoming part of the LBP Royalty just got a bit easier

Feb 28th 2009 - 10:18 AM

CrownUp until now, it’s been pretty tough to gain your way in to the elite group of LBP Royalty, and get one of those tasty ever-so-exclusive gold crowns to adorn your Sackboy.

Well, things are changing! Over on the U.S PlayStation Blog, an announcement has been made that these crowns will be given out a lot more frequently, and for a wider range of community activites. Here are the three main areas in which efforts could be rewarded with a Crown:

#1 A “Gold Star” on the LittleBigWorkshop
Frequently, when we’re on LittleBigWorkshop.com, every so often, we come across a submission, whether it is an inspiration, workshop or forum post that makes us smile. As a small token of our appreciation, we like to put a smile on your face too by giving you a Community Prize Crown.

#2 Raising our Eyebrows
Every once in awhile, LBP fans do something that immediately grabs the attention of a few people, spreads on the web, and eventually is talking about it. We love it when this happens, and as a sign of thanks, you may just get a Community Prize Crown in your mail box.

#3 LittleBigChallenges
We’re in the process of coming up with more LittleBigChallenges, so get your creative thoughts together and stay tuned next week for LittleBigChallenge2.

If you think you’ve already earnt one of these for your work, check the full article and let them know!


New costumes: Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword and Buzz here soon

Feb 26th 2009 - 9:25 AM

After the news that there would be no dlc for LittleBigPlanet this week, community members will be pleased to know about some of the upcoming costumes arriving soon, as revealed in this weeks Sack it to me on the U.S PlayStation Blog.

Two costumes have been revealed for Killzone 2. They were expected this week, after a hint on the U.S PlayStation Blog suggested February 27th. But alas, it was not to be. Heavenly Sword and a Buzz costumes have also been revealed:

Helghast Trooper
We all knew this was coming! Killzone 2’s Helghast Trooper.

Sev
Another Killzone 2 outfit comes with little surprise - ‘Sev’, the main protagonist from the single player campaign in Killzone 2. We could’ve sworn it was Mr T at a glance though…

Buzz
It’s the cheese-master himself, Buzz! from the ever popular quiz games.

Nariko
The previously exclusive Heavenly Sword Nariko costume is presumably now seeing a ‘commercial release’, much like the Kratos costume did a few weeks back.

Kai
Kai (Nariko’s cranky little sister) from Heavenly Sword also gets a costume.

Prices and dates are yet to be announced, so it’s all a bit of a tease. Still no news on the Sepiroth and Bumblebee costumes (design-a-sackboy winnning entry) that are in existence, but we’re sure they’ll surface at some point.

We’re sure that many players will be pleased to see the Nariko costume released - if only to stop the “ZOMG! NARIKO CODEZ PLX” threads popping up on certain forums… wink

Thanks to Mr Grey at Little Big Land for sending this in, via Curious Onion.


Wipeout HD themed stickers coming

Feb 17th 2009 - 10:16 PM

LittleBigPlanet players eager on getting new stickers will be pleased to know that Wipeout HD® themed stickers are coming soon.

After receiving his game save back from Media Molecule, PSN user brnxblze yesterday told us about the upcoming costume items he could steakily (steakily!?) sneakily see in his new data, fresh from Media Molecule towers.

brnxblze has since notified us of another new item in his pop-it inventory - Wipeout HD® stickers. Nine of them infact!

image
Oooooooh

The Wipeout HD® costume pack is out on Thursday this week across Japan, Europe and North America. Until now, it was thought that the pack included just the four costumes, but it’s now clear that the stickers will also be available, either in with the costumes, or in a seperate pack. Could this be a Wipeout level pack? Or just an extra special costume pack?

The ‘Sack it to me’ update on the Official PlayStation Blog tomorrow should give us the full details on just exactly what costumes, stickers and other goodies will be hitting the PSN Store on Thursday. We’re hoping for the new free Bumblebee costume, the Wipeout HD® costume and/or Sticker pack and maybe, just maybe - that Sepiroth costume wink

[UPDATE]

The ‘Sack it to me’ update is now up, and it is revealed that these nine stickers are included as a bonus with the costumes. Yay!


New LBP costume items spied in game save: Bumblebee costume inbound

Feb 17th 2009 - 9:21 AM

PSN user brnxblze recently sent his save file in to Media Molecule to help fix the game saving bug. Well, it got sent back to him, and when it did, it had some hidden extras!

Pretty much all the costume items ever were in his pop-it! Although many were locked, as brnxblze had not purchased them and didn’t own them, the items were visible in his pop-it anyway. So, the LBP Crown, Toro, Ape Escape, Space Suit - all there.

Thrown in to the mix however are costumes which are not yet released, like the Wipeout costumes which are due for release this week, the Sepiroth costume from Final Fantasy VII and a new ‘Design a Sackboy’ competition winner, the Bumblebee.

All the ‘competition winner’ items to date have been free, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the Bumblebee costume is out this week alongside the paid-for Wipeout costumes. When is the Sepiroth costume out? We can only presume ‘very soon’. There is no sign of the Killzone 2 costumes, which was hinted at having a February 27th release date, so perhaps Sepiroth will be out before then? If that were the case, then it’d leave just this week… Anyway, enough speculation, here are the pics!

brnxblze doesn’t own these items, so he can’t use them.

We look forward to hearing about the PSN Store update later this week.

Thanks to brnxblze for sending this in and sharing his find!


Reminder: Ape Escape and Toro costumes are back on the store today

Feb 12th 2009 - 10:12 PM

The Ape Escape ‘Pipo Monkey’ and Toro costumes are back on the store today, after someone accidentally flicked a switch andreleased them early in Europe and then America at the end of last month, they were promptly removed until their official release date came around. Of course if you live in America these guys are on the store for the first time round! The US Store was never updated to remove them, so this is olllllld news to you Americans, still, Europeans rejoice?

If you didn’t manage to grab them during their brief accidental appearance, or were thwarted by the Atlantic Ocean, now is the time to go forth and get your hands on the best Sackboy eyes in the universe. Each costume costs $1.99/ £1.59 / €1.99.
