Found it on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/LittleBigPlanet-2-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0K780/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1273777695&sr=1-1).

Doesn't look too bad! It looks like they've ditched the blue graph paper theme of the first game.

Edit: The PlayStationTEAM have tweeted (http://twitter.com/PlayStationTEAM/status/13989120525) and confirmed that this is the official box art!

Edit #2: LittleBigPlanet 2 – The LittleBigFAQ (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/05/20/littlebigplanet-2-the-littlebigfaq/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=lbp2_052010)
I just saw the LBP2 box art pop up on Twitter…Why didn’t you guys post it here?

Glad you noticed, but don’t get too attached to that piece of art – It’s something we put together from the artwork created for an exclusive EDGE Magazine cover article. And while we love it, its definitely NOT final box art.

Rating pending? Shouldn't it just keep the same rating as LBP 1? It's effectively the same game, just with a few added things. Unless... 2010-05-13 20:14:00

That's not why it's rating pending. Whether or not it's similar, they still have to ship it off to ESRB for review, which probably hasn't happened yet since the game's not done yet2010-05-13 20:16:00

It look really nice!
Though maybe it's just a temporary cover and, things can change till the game is released in 6 months.

Dajda has a point, this might just be a placeholder cover for now. That said, I sincerely hope it is the real deal because that looks awesome!2010-05-13 20:22:00

No, thats not the cover. How do I know?? The 2 isn't underneath the tree. 2010-05-13 20:57:00

It could be placeholder because thats the same art they used for the cover of Edge but with the logos added.2010-05-13 21:21:00

I highly doubt it's a placeholder. Why? Because LBP's placeholder was just a blue tree. This seems to be way too complex to be just a placeholder.

I'm not sure it's the final thing.

I'd like it to be, but I think it's a temporary thing.

Rating pending.

I like how slow ESRB is. I mean, it's got 7+ from PEGI already... Or at least, the trailer has...?

Anyway, it looks pretty epic. I mean, it's not as crafty as I would think, but it's certainly got the "Planet" thing right.

Seems like a written chalkboard that should fit the theme of the game very well.

Yeah, that one. It's not perfect, but I feel it's better than the one in the first post.

Hmm... It looks pretty good, and looks like it might be official, but I am a bit curious as to some of the content. I guess they're trying to hint at the level of depth with the parabolic chart and mathematic functions scrawled in chalk, but this seems to be exactly the sort of thing that would make Mr. Sony (the big boss man) kick someone in the shins until they cried. Notice that we didn't see ANY complex logic in the announcement trailer. There's a very good reason for that. It would SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE! Anyone who isn't sold on LBP1 is NOT going to want to see anything that tells them "this game is COMPLEX AS ****".

So that's the only thing there that makes me consider it won't be what we eventually see on shelves. Otherwise it's quite lovely.

That could easily have been composited in Photoshop. The background image is one of the images on some website or other, and the title can be edited out of a still in the trailer and slapped on top. I think this is just a mockup, IMHO.2010-05-14 13:35:00

Aww.... I was hoping for something a bit fancier...

Actually I'm just still irked about the random arcade machine that's bigger than just about everything else on the cover.

UK ? I think whole Europe will get another cover, as well as Japan, that will be probably different than the American one

Anyway, I hope it will, I do like this cover but I simply like seeing several different boxes for a game, according to where you are. It should never change !

Thats an excellent cover.
I hope they keep it as it is, the "LittleBigPlanet"1 cover is too childish

Im pretty sure they just need to rate it E-10+ (gamerating may change during online play) That would solve a lot of problems for people trying to make a scary level, with a little bit of blood!2010-05-15 00:37:00

Does anyone else think that SACKBOY HIMSELF looks ugly in this cover?

Look at his face >.> The other one someone just posted would be a better Sackboy. I wish they'd cross those two covers somehow.

Why was the original little big planet 7+ . I played through the entire game and i can't see anything that would stop it from being 3+. But i'm getting off topic the cover looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!2010-05-20 19:23:00

It's a rather silly one, it's because of violence. You can hit other Sackpeople, which is technically violence.

It makes me lol everytime I hear that...
