Little Big Planet sackboy controller stand

Archive: 37 posts


Found this while browsing the web kind of not what I had hoped for compared to the US version http://www.gamestop.ie/35983_PlayStation_3_LittleBigPlanet_2_Special_Edit ion.aspx#Screen

Edit: Should probly note this is the Irish version!

It appears so? Or maybe the website hasn't got the whole thing up? Cause it's almost twice the price of a normal game and there ain't much in it! Plus the website only started running!

Or maybe I'm just being too hopeful

If that is all for the Collectors Edition for Europe, I'll pass.
That money can easily go to Call of Duty: Black Ops, which I'd been considering also.

I do hope that's something Gamestop Ireland put together themselves, rather than the official from Sony...

well, LBP2, the sackboy holder thing and a sixaxis controller can all be bought separately... so lets hope it is just a store-defined bundle and not the proper release.2010-09-14 20:04:00

This isn't the special edition, I can tell. This is just a deal the store has put on. Would Sony really announce a huge bundle for NA, then send the rest of the community into uproar by annnouncing this?

It has been observed that Sony has no sense of fairness and often times, no common sense either. D:

i hope not, why would i want another controller with LBP 2 when I already have 2? It's a good idea for people that need a controller but the big part of the people don't need another controller.2010-09-15 00:42:00

Guys, I am fairly sure it comes with the sackboy controller holder, and not an extra controller.....2010-09-15 03:22:00

It says it comes bundled with both in the product description.

Oh, for the love of... It's not rocket science. All you need is a gaming website (game.co.uk or play.com), google and xe.com. But I saved you guys the trouble:

SE = €99.99 = $129.853

Game = €60 (assumed. MSRP probably €65?) = $77.9191
Sackboy controller holder = €33.35 (MSRP) = $43.3172
Sixaxis DualShock 3** controller = €55 (what the hell? That can't be right!) = $71.3842
Total* = €148.35 = $192.506


* Assuming that controller is correct. 'Cause, really. What the hell?
** My bad. But I figure y'all knew what I meant anyway.

What the?
this BETTER NOT be the EU collector's edition. I'm pretty sure it isn't because I haven't seen an annoucement or a flood of threads about it (like I think there was when the Us one was annouced). If it is, and LBP2 wasn't so incredibly super special awesome, then I would lose faith in sony and switch to Xbo- omg brain I can't believe you even considered that! :O

Seems like a good deal to me if your saving 60$....

You heard me. I have no idea what is expensive or cheap in euros.... I don't know the exchange rates to well.

You heard me. I have no idea what is expensive or cheap in euros.... I don't know the exchange rates to well.

Here's the quick-guide to Videogaming in Europe:

Nearly all prices are converted 1:1, so a 60 Dollars game is a 60 Euros game
If the game needs specific peripherals (ie. Rock Band), the peripherals will generally be more expensive than in the US. 150 Dollars peripheral = 180 Euro peripheral (this is not always true)
Online content is lacking, especially on the PS3. Europe gets between 50 and 70% of the content the US gets. And this is games only
You want to download a tv show or movie? Better make a US PSN account, and figure out how to pay for it, 'cause a LOT of that isn't coming to (the majority of) Europe


There's probably more. But I'll stop here, since this is going off-topic.

Saw this in my GameStop the other day, looked pretty cool but not really worth the money.
Too much of an effort to put my controller on the stand, its much more easier to throw it on the ground

I went into GAME a few days ago applying for a job. And I got talking with the manager about the games I play.
Obviously I mentioned LBP and asked if he knew anything about the EU CE for LBP2.
He listed everything in the NA version and then he let something slip...
'But Sony are going to add some other stuff to the EU one' he couldn't elaborate though.
So, the website in the OP probably just don't know their own products.

I agree with those who have said it is most likely a store promotion bundle. Luckily I am in the US, but when I first saw that post that described and showed EVERYTHING that was packed into the awesome Collector's Edition, I was like WOW! I mean, MM really hit everything I could have wanted and more with that one. To cheap out and give other regions something that is not even exclusive? That's a bit lame and doesn't seem right to me. So I'd say hang tight, wait until PlayStation makes an official announcement. What's really odd is that Media Molecule resides in EU but there isn't a release date for you guys yet... :/2010-09-15 23:30:00

Everywhere here has it down as the 12th November. GAME even have it in their list of upcoming game releases as this date.

And other than that the only confirmed date is Nov 16th. Anything else is a placeholder date unless MM/Sony announces something different.

i hope not, why would i want another controller with LBP 2 when I already have 2? It's a good idea for people that need a controller but the big part of the people don't need another controller.

You don't have the right to say "A big part of the community" , there are always new PS3 players along with new LBP players, not everyone ALREADY owns one. And bundles like this attract customers. eg. My little cousin has had a PS3 & LBP for awhile now and plays a lot. He wants a new controller so he can play with his brother and friends, so he will buy one. So.. i'm guessing this is a good idea for him if We lived in Europe? What do you think?
Point made.

That money can easily go to Call of Duty: Black Ops, which I'd been considering also.

And to everyone else, it's NOT the collector's editon. That would just be ridiculous. NO DLC? come on, you guys are just being too negative. I'm not liking LBPC lately. Whoever mentioned it being negative recently, is completely right.

The negativatron has attacked! But seriously, although I haven't been here very long, I can still tell it used to be different.... Please, for the sake of the rest of us, let's be greatful for what we have! And although I do feel bad for you EU guys, and I'm not saying I haven't been an ungrateful jerk, 'cause believe me, I have, Do you guys really believe Mm would disappoint us so badly? I know it may be quite unfair to criticize you guys, mainly because we in the US have already gotten our CE announcement, but still, some of you are just being flat-out pessimistic...

Supah, Signing out!

Moving this to the appropriate forum, then... I was genuinely confused after watching this thread over the last day or so. A bit disappointed, to be honest.2010-09-17 04:18:00

I doubt, the crown is something you earn, you don't buy it.
