LittleBigPlanet is finished

Sony nails down launch and DLC plans
LittleBigPlanet has gone gold, Sony has just announced, along with the confirmed dates for the game's release in the different worldwide territories.

Our date still stands as October 24, but the original Oct 29 date announced for Europe has changed to Oct 22. US gets it first on Oct 21.

There's DLC in the pipeline already, too.

"This is only the beginning," said Sony. "We won't be taking it easy just because we have started to manufacture the game! Media Molecule and SCE have a long-term commitment towards expanding the world of LittleBigPlanet and working hard to make sure that our fans get amazing new content and features via PlayStation Network.

"To start with, there will be a free Spaceman costume for Sackboy, perfect for preparing to launch! There will also be a rare "Week One" Sackboy t-shirt to prove that you were there at the start. Both items will be available for a limited time only."

That's pretty cool.

The game comes with over 50 built in levels, as well as the level editor and the soon-to-be-infinite supply of user-created levels online.

Ooft! Was just looking forward to getting a game before the Americans, and then Sony do a U-turn and put us Brit's last in the release line, even after the rest of Europe! And to think that the Dev's own country would get it last!

Well, its a bit s**t that we get it last, even after sony announced we were set to get it before Europe. I guess that sony have nailed down a week and we are just getting it on our normal release date (Friday).

The DLC plans sound good, bit like the Gears of War "Emergence Day" scheme.

pushing europe up to 22nd? that makes no sense.
scumlander on 19 Sep '08
I always thought that it was mandatory for games in the EU to be released at the same time and thats why Publishers never just release games in the UK first
Blue Nose on 19 Sep '08
Can't wait for this game-really one I've been looking forward to for a long time. Must get my Pre-order in.
almanac2015 on 19 Sep '08

What the f**k, Uk & Ireland have to wait until 24th whilst the rest of europe...ahem which we are a part of..ahem get's it two days earlier...

c**ts! Evil or Very MadCrying or Very sad
toolfan2007 on 19 Sep '08
No idea why that date cycle has occured but considering that we're getting LBP earlier than thhan the original 29th Oct date, it doesn't seem all that bad.

What are You all complaining about, they hven't pushed the UK Release date back, So it doesn't affect us at all. Whats the big deal.

24th is the first day of my week off from college Razz

Its the principle, once again, Sony s**t on the UK. Just once it would nice if a pulisher put the UK (or at least all of Europe) ahead of all the other markets, afer all Europe is the second biggest market only behind the USA and way ahead of anyone else.

The principle? FFS man you're talking a few days wait, a lot worse could happen to you.

Does this mean a review is in the works, CVG? Nudge, wink.

Fingers crossed, this hasn't been hyped up for nothing.
