Coming December 23rd, we'll be able to get our hands on the Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack and the Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack, priced at $5.99 for each pack. The Level Pack includes the awesome Paintinator upgrade we mentioned earlier, along with tons more content. The Costume Pack comes with 4 Metal Gear Solid themed costumes, including a Solid Snake outfit. LBPCentral is excited to see what you can do with this new content, so don't forget to share it with us (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40) when you've got something to show off! Click through for the official press release.



LBP and MGS fans alike are in for a treat! If you checked out the PS Blog today you will see all the details on the new Premium Metal Gear Solid? Level and Costume Packs that are hitting the PS Store on December 23rd.

The Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack will come complete with the Solid Snake outfit we revealed at TGS. But in addition you will see favorites like Meryl Silverburgh, Screaming Mantis & Raiden who will each have LBP costume

Each costume is available at $1.99 each or get all 4 costumes for the price of 3 at $5.99. But it doesn't just stop with costumes, player-creators have the option of getting the....

Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack for $5.99 which fills your Pop-it tool with a ton of MGS-themed ?Create? materials, objects and stickers plus a whole lot more.


A 5th Sackboy costume?the Gurlokovich Soldier.
72 New Stickers
12 New Materials
10 New Decorations
18 New objects
New background music track
3 new interactive music tracks
New Metal Gear Solid themed ?sound object?
New Plasma Ball ?danger element?
New Laser Sight ?gadget?
New functioning Searchlight lamp
12 new Trophies to unlock
and best of all.....THE PAINTINATOR and Paint Switch

With the THE PAINTINATOR you?ll be able to splatter anything that comes between you and the end of any level. Shoot paintballs with the R1 button and using the right stick to aim. Paintballs will hit very weak slap. Shoot ?Brains? from a safe distances now and progress thru levels much easier. The Paint Switch, so you can attach it to any object and set it to destruct after being splattered with enough paint.

This new Level Pack is very exciting as these new items will open up the kind of levels Creators can make!

Now if you don't buy it, no worries, you?ll still be able to enjoy the MGS fun! Non-MGS Level Pack owners can PLAY the MGS Story Levels by joining a ?host? who owns the pack and play the levels online together. You won?t be able to keep any objects, but you can experience the new features. MGS Level Pack owners will also be able to CREATE levels with any of these items (including the Paintinator) and SHARE them online for everyone to play.

Again, we?re very excited to present this MGS Level Pack to you as a taste of how LBP can and will continue to evolve over time! More details on the PS Blog. Be certain we will continue to provide more LBP goodness down the road in 2009.

Have a Merry Holiday and a Happy New Year!

So, when it says 18 new objects, does that mean 18 plus the Paintinator gun?

Definitely getting it. I hope its no more expensive than ?5 though.

*droools*... *faint* *thud* (hits the floor)


biggest no brainer must have? 6 dollars for 5 levels! that alone would be a steal and a half. but all those new stickers and materials and everything else! unbelievable steal... and then the paintinator and a new danger object?! (see reaction at the beginning of my post)

it seems as if the paintinator can only be controlled by a player. it would be nice if there was a way to place one in the world, aim it, and hook it up to a switch (an idea for one of my levels was open paint cans that if you fell in, you'd come out coated in that color...). i'm not getting the sense we'll be able to do that. shame. but jesus why am i complaining?!

...Wow. That looks very, very awesome. In the first degree. My bet on how it works: Aim with right stick, R1 replacing grab. Certainly what it looks like. Then again, it might just be that it's the other way around, and in MGS4 style, you hold L1 and aim, then fire with R1.

Let's hope that the stealth and tactical side of "tactical espionage action" stays in there, although one of the trophies does give some hope to that end.

And I am SO downloading that.

It tells you how it workis in the OP.


And I am SO downloading that.

And it must be purchased for a price also given in the OP.

Ok, this nearly melted my brain when I read it.

A gun. ......a gun.

Of all the things that I would have thought would come in the first big upgrade, a gun was the last thing I'd have thought of.

Hoboy, this is like, totally awesome, isnt it.....


Now if only that blasted video would load so I could see what some of these things are gonna be like........ stupid Youtube.......

And now I got that video to load, and now I need this more.

This is the best idea ever, for the best game ever......

Definitely dont wanna wait for this. Fortunately it's a very short wait. But Im impatient, and it's awesome......

I think they update the store a bit later into the day. I stay up late anyway (2 AM or so PST), so I'll be up just in case, but I doubt it will be running until 9 AM or so PST; at least for the US.

This is incredibly true. The Paintinator allows for a whole new league of possibilities.

I cannot wait to see what people come up with.

EDIT: I just got ideas for a Touhou level. I need to find my buds. IF we pull this off, it will be epic...

Apparently this will eventually allow you to switch between day/night cycles. VERY COOL but is not an available tool yet.
