Hey all,

We?ve been working with our North American retailers to promote the release of LittleBigPlanet in October 2008. And now that the ?planning dust? has settled, we wanted to share early details of our pre-order campaign for you to decide which item you?d like. Stay tuned for much more detail on which retailer will have what pre-order item and when to go to your favorite retailer to reserve your copy.

Here?s the master list:

The Official ?LittleBigPlanet Creator? MiniGuide by Brady Games - This exclusive digital guide is a primer for LittleBIGPlanet?s CREATE tools and provides users with a quick tutorial to begin developing their own levels.?

LittleBigStickerBook - For those of you who love to customize - this item is for you! This exclusive sticker book contains some of our favorite LBP imagery for you to apply your own ?mash-up? to your favorite possessions. Or take something else you own and make it your favorite!

LittleBigPouch - Keep your LBP game safe and protected from the elements with this exclusive burlap pouch. Its so unique and stylish, it would make a SackMother proud.

Exclusive Nariko SackGirl - SackBoy?s beware! Nariko SackGirl has been known to keep other SackBoys (and SackGirls) in check. This exclusive downloadable costume features our favorite heroine on the PS3.

Exclusive Kratos SackBoy - Nuff? said. Yes?the forum rumors were true - but the biggest question remains ?why didn?t this guy smile?? Seriously, this is another exclusive downloadable costume that will elevate your SackBoy status to godlike proportions.

Keep an eye out for more LittleBigNews in a few days?

"I?d have to agree with the previous posts? will we be able to acquire tangible sackboys and sackgirls?"

"Definitely in the works?"

Mark.. Can the PSN have Sackboy Avators? That would be so cool since there hasn?t been any new ones in a while. I know I would rock it.

Mark Valledor replied on August 5, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Stay tuned, we have a ton of ideas to keep our fans active in LBP goodness?

the special Sackboys have to be universal PLEASE. i think the Guide is a cool pre-order item since it will help us make better levels. but i?d buy the Brady guide separate and download both the Nariko and Kratos sackboys for $0.99 and use them.

what about a Nathan Drake sackboy? a Snake sackboy? a Ratchet sackboy (with a mini Clank on his back) and a Jak sackboy!

the possibilities are endless but i?d gladly pay $0.99 for all of those.

OR! what about one price for a Sony heroes sackboy package (with all the characters above plus more in the downloadable pack!)

c?mon Sony! let?s get on this ASAP! lol.

Who says we?re not? Seriously, stay tuned, we have tons of info to share and this is only the TIP of the iceberg.

I'm not going to pay money for a Create guide when I can figure it out on my own and learn from other people through the internet. Seriously, who doesn't expect a bunch of userguides for the ins and outs of Creating in LittleBigPlanet?

Also, I'm not going to buy costumes, as I don't really care how my sackboy looks.

EDIT: I do appreciate the info, though. I might look into the burlap sack.

Userguides became pointless the second the internet was invented. No question.

Though i cannot agree at all with your second bit, i'll be having fun changing how my sackboy looks for each level!! however my favourite look is still the natural 'naked' look.

I disagree about guides. I have quite a few guides for my favourite games. It's not only the info I'm looking for but the cool art, character profiles and other things that I find really interesting. In terms of information about playing the game though, nothing can beat online guides. Rarely do official guides have the best methods for completing a game, especially on harder difficulties. However as I said, the gameplay info is never why I buy the game guide.

In terms of the goodies they all seem really good. Though I definitely want a "naked" Sackboy of my own. And seeing the comments the guy made on the blog I'm starting to get the feeling that the comment I made earlier today about a Sackboy with every copy of the game, may indeed come true. And I will be delighted if it does.

Haha DL costumes,
I saw that coming.

But what if you found someone with the same DL costume as you.
Well, unless if you can edit them which may be unlikely.
I'll stick to an original sack boy of my own.

Good info. But I don't see why people would want to make a Kratos sackboy be their main one they use and I'll bet a lot of people will have it. I want my own unique sackboy.2008-08-06 03:55:00

HOLY :eek:

They'd better have a Nathan Drake, Ratchet, and Jak downloadable costume for the sackboys in the game. That Nariko Sackgirl and Kratos Sackboy already look AWESOME!!

Gotta wait and see what happens. I know I'm gonna have more trouble going to sleep tonight for sure.

When I saw the bradygames mini guide listed as a pre-order gift I checked if they made a signature guide as well, yes, so preordered it.

Not a fan of primagames but bradygames is pretty good to excellent

When I start relying on guides in games, I'll quit playing.

Just an off topic remark.

Should check out the piggybackinteractive guides. They make the best ones. They made the FFXII guide, the MGS guides and the guides for Jak 2 & 3. Excellent quality, very detailed and enjoyable for read and look through. They usually have some great extra sections such as very detailed run-throughs of the story in the MGS guides.

grr

Seriously though, I like guides after having played through the game first.

Say GTA for the annoying flying rats, MGS4 for all the secrets and tips for 0 alerts&kills

As for LBP, apparently on the 50 or so levels that are included, there'll be secrets to unlock. Only after finding these items will you be able to use them in your level creation.

So instead of running through each levels endlessly, yeah I'll study my guide thank you very much

Same LOL. What I'll most likely end up doing is going through the levels, and watching peoples videos on youtube, and when I see something I like I'll google it and find out how to to that itm

Now what about those of us who were insane enough to have pre ordered it already? are we done? no freebies for us cuz we ordered it early? Would i have to cancel my pre order and pre order again to be eligible for the freebie?

You?ll have to check with your retailer on that one.

so, anybody else worried, because that response did not comfort or satisfy me.

Well its out of their hands. How about actualy checking with the retailer? because they are the ones who can tell you. If they say no, then cancel and pre-order where you want.

Good info. But I don't see why people would want to make a Kratos sackboy be their main one they use and I'll bet a lot of people will have it. I want my own unique sackboy.

Actually the the Kratos Sackboy's parts are interchangable... Meaning you can use parts of Kratos on your own unique sackboy. Same with Nariko.
