Is it just me or does that wheel level look very similar to one of Cymbol's wheel levels? I meen I know it's bound to happen that more than one level looks like another with over a million user generated levels, but it just seems similar to me.

Announcing: LittleBigPlanet – Game of the Year edition
Posted by Mark Valledor // Marketing Manager, SCEA

Morning all! Today, we’re pleased to announce the upcoming release of LittleBigPlanet – Game of the Year edition, which will ship to stores on September 8th for $59.99 with a “Sackful” of bonus content.

[TRAILER]

And while everyone unveils this type of news with a shiny new package front… grrrr… we wanted to be different and do the reverse…

…and spend some time on the back of the box to talk about what’s in this “Game of the Year” version:

• First off, you’ll get the full award-winning LittleBigPlanet gameplay experience, or as we like to call it “Play Create Share” – ok, that was a bit to ‘infomercially’ (sorry), but you get the idea. Everything that made LittleBigPlanet one of the biggest games on the PS3 is in there.
• Next, to give our new fans a taste of the over 1,000,000 user-generated levels available on the PlayStation Network, Media Molecule has hand-picked 18 extraordinary people to Create bonus levels specifically for the GOTY edition – complete with interviews with each creator. We loved how these levels turned out and hope you will to.

• And, for everyone looking for a great value, the GOTY edition includes 7 packs from the PlayStation Store. These packs feature tons of costumes, stickers, objects, new levels and the “Paintinator” to amplify the fun you’ll have. Once more, these are on the disc FREE (that’s nearly a $30 value)
  
  Content Packs include:
  
  
  • Metal Gear Solid Level Pack – featuring the “Paintinator” paintball gun
  • Metal Gear Solid Costumes Pack
  • Monster Costumes Pack
  • Monsters Kit
  • History Costumes Pack
  • History Kit
  • Animal Costumes Pack

• Finally, as a peek at the next game in the “Play, Create, Share” family, a limited supply of LittleBigPlanet – Game of the Year Editions will include a special voucher code for the upcoming ModNation Racers Online Beta. This is your chance to play ModNation Racers before the game comes out in 2010. If you haven’t checked out ModNation yet, and you’re a big-time racing fan, always dreamed of creating your own track, or you’re into vinyl art – head on over to www.ModNation.com and register.

__________________________________________________

So to summarize the bonus content:

• 18 new levels made by players just like you
  
• 7 different content packs
  
• Exclusive access to the upcoming ModNation Online beta

All together, with bonus content valued at over $30, the award-winning experience and over 1,000,000 levels to play online, it’s a great offer for those that haven’t joined the LittleBigPlanet community yet…all bundled in one neat little ‘sack’.

Timed to coincide well with the price drop?

Can't think of a better game to get some new love just when all these new owners are looking for something to buy.

[Shin-Ra]

Hopefully we'll get some more level pack DLC and Leerdammer patch news tomorrow!

I'm guessing the GotY Edition starts a new trophy list. I wonder if they changed things up at all.

Thanks and yes, lots! I'm actually going back to LA next weekend, but not Disneyland. We passed right by Kate Walsh at California Adventure too!

Not reeeally. Cymbol makes use of all 3 depth levels and all 4 thin layers...that one looks pretty basic.

Media Molecule's site now has a swimmy, watery background.

Check the Just Add Water video.

HD Trailer on YouTube. Yummy yummy yummy.

I haven't played LBP since last year, man that water looks awesome

[Trace17]

Nice! very excited with this.

[Shin-Ra]

Might be official screens soon but here's some trailer snaps.

Hmmm, I'll have to look at this when I get home from work. If it has violated my patent and or infringed upon my copyrights, I may press charges!

Looks like MM used the 3D glitch to extend the water further and closer. I can't wait for this. I've been wanting water for a long time.

Well, the one thy have on there looks cheep, I woulda suggested to have your two puzzle wheel levels on there instead. Way cooler.

Ps. Those water effects look awesome, can't wait.

I think it's showing a community level. I don't think MM created it.

Yeah, I've looked at it now that I'm home - I can see how it is similar to mine. But their's looks to be a straight circle maze (the kind you find on resturant's menu for kids - not knocking the design, it looks quite nice: but doesn't look like it takes any kind of skill or real gameplay).

I wanted to make my levels challenging, but beatable. I only wish they had the infinite lives portals at the time I introduced my levels - more people might have finished the level. The levels were sooooo long that I don't fault anyone for giving up if they died halfway through.

Oh well. Those were equal parts fun and frustration in creating.

[PS3-Playb3yond]

Whoa! That looks awesome! I'd buy that.
