DEMO and GOTY in-stores next week
Sept 10 ? For those of you who haven?t ?jumped in the sack? with LBP yet, head over to the PS Store (http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Store) on Sept 10, and you?ll be able to download a free playable demo of LittleBigPlanet (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/littlebigplanet/).

The demo is filled with ? PLAY: a hand full of in-game levels and mini-games by yourself or with 3 of your friends, CREATE: Customize your Sackboy and plaster levels with a variety of stickers and objects, SHARE: a few community levels picked from the over 125MM levels created online.

Hopefully, you?ll get hooked just in time for the release of the Game of the Year Edition (coincidentally next week as well ). If your just getting your hands on a new PlayStation 3, check out the Examiner.com?s Game of the Year edition (http://www.examiner.com/x-6894-SF-Console-Game-Examiner~y2009m8d29-Top-five-games-to-purchase-along-with-PS3?[/URL] ? which just happens to have LBP #1?and conveniently just arrived in our offices!

GOTY Q&A
A few weeks ago, when we announced the [URL="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/announcing-littlebigplanet-%E2%80%93-game-of-the-year-edition/), we saw a ton of questions, and wanted to address what we could, so we decided to create a quick FAQ:


Will my old game save work with the Game of the Year edition?? ? Yes, so long as you have the latest LBP online update.

?Are there new trophies? ? Sorry, there are no new trophies in the GOTY edition.

?Will existing owners get a chance to play the bonus levels?? ? Nothing has been planned yet, but stay tuned over the next few weeks as we?ll be highlighting our ?super users? so you?ll be able to search and play their other masterpieces online.

?Is there any other way to get the Modnation beta?? ? Currently, this is the only way to guarantee entry. As we get closer to the ModNation Racers Beta, we?ll update if this changes.

?How will the bonus levels be shown in game?? ? I took a few shots for you to see.




First, you?d see the ?Bonus? call-out beside ?Story?.

Then you?d see the Planet filled with all your free DLC and Level packs.

Finally, after selecting the Community Level pack, you?ll see all 18 community levels to select.

Bludhound?s Comments (PSN: marquise126ace) :
This is an absolutly great platforming level. The author of this level has put the John Burgerman stickers to great use, making the scenery a real treat for your eyes. You will also find some very unique obstacles and a
unique x2 section in this level. Overall it's a very fun level that you will want to play again and again.

amazingflyingpoo?s Comments:
Mnniska has managed to create a wonderful ?feel-good? platformer. Instead of sticking to just tried-and-true platforming mechanics, he creates some original scenarios which helps to make a great experience into an outstanding one. On top of that, the story is so wacky that you just have to love it!

Bludhound?s Comments (PSN: marquise126ace) :
Want to test your self with some mind boggling puzzles? Then this level is for you. The author of this level has done amazing work in coming up with puzzles that you don't see too often in lbp. the design and scenery is absolutely beautiful, if you appreciate great design (that looks like it took hours just to think of) and puzzles that will test your mind then give this level a try.

amazingflyingpoo?s Comments:
This level has impressed me more than just about any other level I have ever played. Most authors struggle to come up with one good originalpuzzle, but somehow werehare has come up with a level composed of a large number of incredible puzzles.

WORKSHOP of the WEEK

Over on LittleBigWorkshop.com, dextroyer4u has created a (http://www.littlebigworkshop.com/) new tutorial (http://www.littlebigworkshop.com/en-us/Tools/Workshop/View?id=3151)for those of you inspiring to make an ?Earthquake? level. Good stuff, keep them coming.

Check out the latest downloadable Sticker Pack on the PlayStation Network (http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN). We love how Vera?s stickers look in LBP and hope to see lots of levels influenced by her style. Mm.com (http://mediamolecule.com/)has a great interview with Vera along with a full site takeover.

LBPSP released in britan first(2-3 days before or something). Dunno about PSP demo though. We'll probably get that later than US tho D:2009-09-05 16:36:00

Yeah we send a level from every Spotlight. Not sure how many Spotlights have passed since the last of these, or why none of the levels got a mention, but they do get sent.		2009-09-08 00:25:00

The reason none of the levels got a mention this time around was because I was working to get all of them filmed and uploaded to Youtube. I sent along the next pair of levels recently, so we'll see them again in the next installment.		2009-09-08 02:18:00

What are the odds that one of these levels is mine?

I've been spotlighted twice recently, you know. 		2009-09-08 03:51:00

Is anyone else curious about the "SHARE: a few community levels picked from the over 125MM levels created online." part of the demo?

Does anyone know how many or WHICH levels were chosen for this package? Were the creators notified? I'm going to have to download this demo just to see which levels made the cut!		2009-09-08 07:11:00
