If anyone is in the Mod Nation Racers beta, they would have sen that pretty much everything you create, can be shared and downloaded by others. I really think a system like this should be implemented in Little Big Planet. A way to share custom pods and sack outfits. And maybe even share objects without having to place them in a prize bubble in a level. And I know you can just send objects but I mean a place where u can publish and search for items. As I type this I have come up with an ingenious idea. An area where you can be in a medium sized blank area. In the center, a console much like how the controller in the pod works, but where you can search, and browse objects, and by simply clicking on them, the object will stream to your console and spawn in the blank area. Allowing you to walk over and easily grab, maneuver, operate, or fiddle with the object. Add browsing filters by size (Small, Medium, Large, Huge). SO with this system in place, say you are looking for the glitched glass, you can easily search those key words. And say you discover a new glitched object, or just some neat contraption you create, you could easily publish for others to enjoy, and not just the people on your friends list. With costume sharing, the files would be positively minute, as all of the costume items and decorations are already on the disc or from the hard drive as DLC. And say you download a costume, but your missing a few or the items as of lack of DLC, or lack of collection through the story. Before downloading some kind of symbol in the details panel will indicate this lack of necessary materials. Buy say you download and put it on anyway, the resulting costume will just simply lack those items. Tell me what you think... Mango ^-^

Good idea. I had an idea like this a while ago, but only about costume sharing.

On the surface, it looks unnecessary, but it could potentially make things a lot easier for the community at large The browsing object thing is, technically, already out. People will post tech demo levels all the time, showcasing their latest contraption ("And say you discover a new glitched object, or just some neat contraption you create, you could easily publish for others to enjoy.") If the object spawned in someone else's pod, it'd be the same as capturing someone else's object in Online Create. It would also be the same as a copyable tech demo level. The restrictions (on downloading other people's costumes) that you described would definitely work. This blocks attempts at gamesharing crowns or getting around purchasing DLC costume pieces (Mm spends time creating those pieces, they deserve a little compensation, wouldn't you say?), but it still allows your friend to wear a semi-identical costume to yours :3

In the object demo area you would be able to search through the objects, find one that looks interesting, and press preview. It would spawn next to you and you could test it out (car, glitched material, machine, etc...) If you decided you wanted the object you could just go back to the control panel and download it. This would unclutter the level sharing system by eliminating the tons of levels just for the purpose of sharing an item. Think about it, just publishing the object takes way less space compared to publishing an entire level. And I actually think they are charging a little too much for the costumes. I have used redering sowtare before and you can go very in-depth with it, but to create objects as simple as sackboy costumes, its not that difficult. And getting 2.99 from millions of people is more than they deserve, especially since that those millions bought the game at full price, even if it was purchased second hand, someone originally paid $50-60 for it. I believe the costumes should drop to $1 per costume, and they have that already on some of the costume packs, but the $3 single costumes are just ridiculous. And if they don't wanna lower the prices, they should come out with more free content. That definitely goes for the holiday packs, most are free, but the winter and valentines ones. They should give out the tools to create costumes to smaller developers and have new costumes and sticker packs at a very low price. Sort of like the Xbox Live "Indie Games".

Gotta point there, it would save server space. Well, DLC doesn’t always come immediately with the game. They release content according to popular demand as well as new concepts they come up with themselves. Yeah, they might not lower the price, but I don’t think they’ll play favorites with people with smaller budgets, either. They probably have their reasons for the DLC pricing system. Who knows? *shrug* o3o
