I just got a code in my e-mail that gave me a cap with a star on it in LBP! Its basically a black baseball cap with the star on it, but still. Pretty cool! To get it, you need to have bought the star shirt.

Heres the pic:

Hard to see, but its the star from the shirt thrown onto the baseball cap. Though the picture makes it seem like a sticker, its not

Ah, so this was either:

Planned to secretly send extra DLC to those who forked up the cash to buy it,

or,

Sent to all those who bought the shirt, because of the complaints that it was not worth the money, people wanted a refund, yadda, yadda. yadda.

You may also have had to opt in to getting emalils off Sony too. If you didn't you may not get one. Just like the beta code emails.2010-04-30 08:04:00

MM just told us that (http://www.littlebigland.com/little-big-planet-ps3/star-cap-send-out-to-some-users/)they were send to make up for the accidental free release of the shirt in some regions.2010-04-30 17:22:00

I got a pic up in the NEws and Media section.

Just merged these into a single thread.

I must say, it's very kind of Sony to compensate those who paid for the t-shirt when others got it for free, as they could've just as easily sat back and ignored it.

Interestingly, Sony's Senior Community Development Manager previously said (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/The-Star-on-the-rare-PSP-week-1-shirt/m-p/205161#M109973)...


Thanks for the comments above, here's a little more information on what's going on.

The rare shirt was accidentally released for free on the Hong Kong store only, all other stores were double checked in the last 12 hours. Hong Kong will be setting their price correctly, if they have not done so already, as soon as possible.

As has been mentioned above this raises an issue with regard to the rarity of this item if an entire region has got it for free, and at present I don't have a concrete answer on that front, but here are the likely considerations : a free costume released in Asia (excluding Japan) in a normal week will usually be downloaded around 1000 times whereas in North America or Europe this number would be hundreds of times as many, so there is the possibility that despite this error the effect will be minor.

That said, the only justification for the higher price of this content is its rarity and if this incident has caused the rarity to be diminished it will be considered unacceptable both by you and us and something will be done about it.

For now however, please continue to see this shirt as rare - whether you'd decided to get hold of it or not, we will ensure that once the dust settles and we can see what impact this has had we'll ensure that rare means rare by whatever means are needed.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

...so it's good to see that they've followed through with this.

I had my notifications on except the receive e-mail from third parties, but I turned that one on some hours ago.
I think they will send it to the ones that don't have the notifications on, because It would be weird if they didn't. And I want this so bad

I did send a tweet to MM asking but no direct reply. They did; however, tweet about having your notifications on shortly after.

I'm not going to hold my breath for it. It is something nice MM has done and wasn't even apart of the deal when we purchased the T-Shirt. So even if we don't get it, we'll know for next time and have our notification on! May suck we missed out on it, but that was really cool of MM.

It is kind of a wonky system though. You'd think they should be able to link it directly to your PSN account or send a system message.

if you bought the rare star t-shirt they sold for like 5.99 at the launch of lbp for psp you should get one.

that is assuming you have enabled getting emails from 3rd parties on your account info.

Don't know if ya did or not? here's how you find out and/or fix it:



boot up ps3
PlayStation network tab
Account management
Account information
Notification preferences
make sure that both boxes are checked.

I wouldn't worry too much yet, there are still many people currently getting their codes, so yours might still appear!
I can get some of my sources to check up on when they'll stop the code distribution if that'll put your minds at ease, yes?

Oh and Josh, no worries, they don't send codes by areas in the cities or stuff like that, so if you friend has it and you don't its not really that much of a surprise, just be a little patient and i'm sure you'll get your code as well.

The only thing you really can do is check your settings and give Sony/MM a chance to get the codes to you. A lot of people still haven't received their codes yet, so I wouldn't worry about it

Would they even send out codes on a weekend?

Not to mention the fact that Sony is notoriously bad about this sort of thing. At the start of the first beta, half the beta codes "went missing" and weren't issued again for like a week.2010-05-02 20:59:00

A couple of my sources have just informed me that there is not "Set date" to when the codes are gonna stop being distributed, sorry guys.

But, they did say they'd inform me when as soon as the codes were done being distributed.
So that's the most i can do atm.

But if i get any other info about it i'll be sure to post it here.

This (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Thank-you-Mm-for-making-the-Star-shirt-Snafu-right/m-p/247991#M133481) was recently posted by Sony's Senior Community Development Manager on LittleBigWorkshop...


Everyone who is owed the cap will receive it.

At present only the North American emails have been sent and as this thread indicates not everyone has received their mails yet, so please be patient as these issues are sorted out.

...so please try to refrain from posting "I didn't get an email yet" messages, as there's nothing that anyone here can do about it.

In the meantime, make sure you've enabled the receipt of emails from Sony in your account preferences. Here's a quote from a post on LBW (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Rare-LittleBigPlanet-PSP-Launch-Cap-PS3-DLC-Catalogue-Entry/td-p/247295)...


Changing Your Notification Preferences

Just follow these steps to setup your Notification Preferences to allow Sony and Media Molecule to contact you:


Log into the PSN network.
Under "Playstation Network", click on "Account Management".
Click on "Account Information".
Scroll down and select "Notification Preferences".
On the following screen, make sure that you have both boxes ticked/checked. (This page also reminds you what email address is associated with your PSN.)
Click on "Confirm".
Update completed! So just click "Ok".


If however during Step 5, you discover that your PSN is currently associated with an old email address that perhaps you have no access to or would just like to update to a more current email address, then just follow the steps below.


Changing Your PSN Account's Email Address


Log into the PSN network.
Under "Playstation Network", click on "Account Management".
Click on "Account Information".
Scroll down and click on "Sign-In ID (E-mail Address)
Enter your PSN password and click "Continue".
Now replace the current Sign-In ID (E-mail Address) with the new email that you would like to use.
Click "Confirm".
Update completed! So just click on "Ok".


If, after the remaining emails have been sent out, you still haven't received one which you believe you were due, then I'd recommend contacting Sony Customer Services directly. They aren't going to be reading this thread for people posting "I didn't get an email" and contacting them.

Look at the post right above you.

This looks cool, although, I still don't think it's worth as much as what you all paid for.

but....but....I'm childish. The shirt in of itself justified the amount i paid for it. The hat is just cherries on top of an already inviting cheesecake.

....Mmmm...cheesecake....

anyone wanna updaye me on where theyre at with this?

Last official word on the subject was from Sam_Protagonist, three days ago, in this post (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Stil-no-cap/m-p/249450/highlight/true#M134595) on LittleBigWorkshop...


Everyone who is owed a Star Cap will receive one, however until Europe has informed their players how to claim the cap we won't start the "clean up" process of making sure that people who have been missed are sorted out.

Once all the emails have been sent we'll look after the people who didn't receive the email. I realise this is going to be frustrating for those who have fallen through the cracks somehow, however you will definitely receive your cap in due course.

...so, to summarize, those in the North American region, who have yet to receive an email, will not hear anything until after the European emails have been sent out, so it would be helpful to hear from anyone in Europe who has received an email already.

Until then, you'll just have to be patient.

I shall also re-iterate the following quote about enabling the receipt of emails from Sony, from a post on LBW (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Rare-LittleBigPlanet-PSP-Launch-Cap-PS3-DLC-Catalogue-Entry/td-p/247295)...


Changing Your Notification Preferences

Just follow these steps to setup your Notification Preferences to allow Sony and Media Molecule to contact you:


Log into the PSN network.
Under "Playstation Network", click on "Account Management".
Click on "Account Information".
Scroll down and select "Notification Preferences".
On the following screen, make sure that you have both boxes ticked/checked. (This page also reminds you what email address is associated with your PSN.)
Click on "Confirm".
Update completed! So just click "Ok".


If however during Step 5, you discover that your PSN is currently associated with an old email address that perhaps you have no access to or would just like to update to a more current email address, then just follow the steps below.


Changing Your PSN Account's Email Address


Log into the PSN network.
Under "Playstation Network", click on "Account Management".
Click on "Account Information".
Scroll down and click on "Sign-In ID (E-mail Address)
Enter your PSN password and click "Continue".
Now replace the current Sign-In ID (E-mail Address) with the new email that you would like to use.
Click "Confirm".
Update completed! So just click on "Ok".

Do people still not have hats?

I mean, you should still get a code, even if you turn on notifications afterward.

I mean, look what happened to me with the OC beta!

I was taking a break from LBP, I came back, checked on LBW, saw there was a beta going on, so I rushed to the PS3 and turned on notifications, and ran back to the computer. Checked my email, and sure enough, I had an invitation!

Even though it expired 3 weeks ago...

For a little further information on what's going on here, the initial batch of emails containing codes for the Star Cap were sent ahead of schedule which is why there's now a number of people both in North America and in Europe who are waiting for their code. This item was created specifically to address concerns surrounding the rare T-shirt released last year and it will fail to do so if it is not delivered to everyone who is owed it.

I don't have a timeline for when it is happening yet, but we are working towards ensuring that absolutely everyone who is owed the cap gets it as quickly as possible.

The Star Cap was given to those who bought the Star T-shirt, which was only an LBP PSP release thing, its not coming back as far as anyone knows, unless they're re-releasing LBP PSP of course, but that seems quite unlikely.
So its one of the few true "rare items" such as the No.1 week shirt and stuff.

Oh and the Craft Earth shop is just the in-game store m8.

Yeah, I know all that stuff, I was actually foolish enough to buy the Star T-Shirt & I've been checking my email every day expecting a code for the Star Cap ever since I found out about it. Anyhow thanks on the Craft Earth shop info, its called LittleBigStore over here, I guess.

Ok, I got mine today, this is how.
1. Be in EU (I think).
2. Log onto the player who downloaded the star shirt.
3. Load LBP shop.
4. Let the stuff load.
5. Go to page 2.
6. Download/Install
7. Gad around in your new hat!

That was two months ago & I haven't heard anything since, I know that people outside the U.S. have gotten theirs & I have no problem waiting for it, even if it isn't coming to me for another two or three years--I mean its still just a nice bonus to the shirt that I was never expecting--but it'd also be nice to hear something just so I'm not constantly checking for an email.

Couldn't agree more. I just hope that it will be put on the store for Americans and Canadians. Considering we paid money like Europe but only they got their placed on the Littlebigstore. Hopefully an update on the situation will come soon, that hat is sooo cool! I want it! I mean...look at it!

After something of a prolonged absence from the forums, here's the latest Cap news.

Europe is now resolved entirely. After deciding against using the frankly unreliable method of emailing people their PSN Store codes we set up a system whereby anyone who had purchased the Rare PSP Launch Tshirt was automatically entitled to receive the accompanying Star Cap - just don't ask why we didn't do it this way to begin with. We've put the request in to the Store team in SCEA to request the same thing, and we're optimistic that this will happen... eventually.

Meanwhile, we're investigating doing the same thing with the outstanding Beta Vests that people are expecting, given the number of beta players who are still waiting to receive theirs. When there's further news on either front I'll update again - please don't PM me on this subject until there has been further news as there is currently nothing more to add.

Naturally, this situation is far from ideal and much of the erratic nature of distributing these bonus/reward items has been due to the complex opt-in/opt-out nature of sending by email. We're hoping to resolve these problems by avoiding email use wherever possible, as it has demonstrated itself to be unreliable

Naturally, this situation is far from ideal and much of the erratic nature of distributing these bonus/reward items has been due to the complex opt-in/opt-out nature of sending by email. We're hoping to resolve these problems by avoiding email use wherever possible, as it has demonstrated itself to be unreliable (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Who-else-hasn-t-gotten-there-PSP-Launch-Cap/m-p/282315#M149286) That's the last I heard about this, nearly two months back, anyone from North America get their PSP Launch Cap since then? Because I haven't yet & was curious about the state of things...

Look, the story goes like this, when lbp psp came out, to celebrate, Mm released the star t-shirt (kinda like the day one t shirt but with a star) and it was like 4 dollars in the U.S. (quite expensive for a costume), then some months later to compensate the purchase of the t-shirt, Mm sent e-mails to all the buyers of the star t-shirt with a code to download a cap (an exclusive item for the star t-shirt buyers) which is a black cap with a star. So to get the cap you must have gotten the star t-shirt, which is no longer available (was only on the ps store for a week).
