Now Touring the UK
At times it has felt like it might never happen, but today we were able to take a couple of Sackpeople out to our local electronic entertainment emporium and show them their starring role on the shop shelf. Exciting times!
As an added bonus we have a new trailer out, bonza!
LittleBigPlanet – UK Launch Trailer from Media Molecule on Vimeo.
I got my copy yesterday via internet ordering
The Sackboy on the left is cute, but I want that Sackboy on the right!! Guys?…..Guys?! Come onnnnnn, are they gonna be in production?
Pwease?
Now, I get to play with my UK friends!
So when can we buy Sackboys like that?!
Look at that we blew up the Dog! Not the real dog he got hit by a car.
Seriously that line for some reason just made my day haha.
Freaking awesome!!!
Haha, congrats to Mm team? Hopefully you’ll get to crack up that launch celebration cabinet too. Also, that trailer is awesome. Also, I will pay good money for those plushes, although I know they are one of a kind.
my play.com order dint arrive
*sigh* the game still isn’t out here in holland… 2 more days :’( *goes back to drawing cloud strife*
Awesome trailer!
Can’t wait to get my hands on a real-life sackboy.
i got mine yesterday to and its frekinn awesome. I love the line from the add, “corse hes not the real dog he was hit by a car!” Officially one of the best adds ever. ps love the game and media molecule.
must… own… SackPlushies!
Got the game yesterday. Now we’ve all waited a long time for the game, so how about getting those sackboys out there for sale asap. How about it MM?
Yay! Only 2 more days till LBP also arrives in germany! And best of all: I’ll have a week off and plenty of time to enjoy it!
Go LBP!!
Do want Dragon Sackboy doll! :O the trailer was funny to lol
Haha great trailer, I giggled when I watched it.
And I’m going to join the masses and request mass-production of the sackboy plushies. They’re so adrorable, I want one to sit ontop of my TV.
Please just…get the game out already.
LOL.. .ha ha.. “HE WAS HIT BY A CAR”.. HA HA..
Omg best game ever, enough said. I don’t think any game has had me laughing and having so much fun as LBP, EVER.
I love you media molecule.
Wow, I was there at Game today buying my copy – shame I wasn’t there at the same time as the MM team!
i want to play that level!
PLAY WITH EVERY THING!
Great job with the toys!
It is refreshing to hear some well used British humor in the commercial. We don’t get any of that here in the US [we even messed up The Office].
Have a great day!

Not available in Australia yet. Man, this is really annoying.
It’s actually out in Australia, saw it lining the shelves of ebgames. A great day for aussies
So where can we buy such a cute Sackboy as it is in the pic?
Great Ad chaps!
very nice
just please fix the servers , it’s better but still is laggy
i can play online by myself without a problem but when i’m playing with my friend it is really laggy
i hope u fix the issue asap
thx
Congrats on the Uk launch, was playing it all last night. Online was flawless (nice job). Game was awesome…
We want those sackboys.. get them in shops ASAP !!!
3.45 $ the motorstorm costume and 8.45 $ the media molecule t-shirt ??? Are you crazy ????
link : http://playstation.com.au/news/2008/littlebigplanetcostumes.jhtml
Ok… Motorstorm price is good, it is australian dollar so 3.45 $ AUD = 1.99 $ US so, it is “normal” price for costume form another game. But the t-shirt is 4-99, it is a but high… I think it could be free, as spacesuit…
Hahaha Wow! those guys are excellent!
Is it just me or does the one on the LEFT have an OFFICIAL MM merchandise LABEL??????
Is this a sneaky tease at the future plush toys????
(i know the one in the dragon/lion costume was made by someone’s mum!)
Game is in the post! hopefully have it by the weekend so i can start messing around in the LB Universe ^_^
the bunker was hellishly frustrating. im on about that wheel part. hugely satisfying when i got past it though. either that or relief anyway lol. excellent game guy and gals. sackboy rules.
Congrats on getting the game out to retail in ol’ blighty!!
I have to say, I am LOVING it, despite some server issues. Well done chaps!
Anyone wants to donate a PS3 to me?
haha
Awesome, great do see that you are out. My Country will be out tomorrow.
All im waiting for is MY ASTRONAUT! 
Thankfully i have had the game since 18. October, my pre-order was sent the day they ordered the games back!
OMG!!!! i got this game yesterday and it blew my world!!!! the only thing better than the game is the real thing!!! when do they come out!?
Hi there,
A bit off topic but how do you guys and/or Sony get away with charging £3.99 for a DLC T-Shirt?! It’s ridiculous…
I gotta agree with Ethan.
I was expecting a free download for that. For one pound, maybe, but four?
a bit excessive I think, personally.
got my copy today! games good fun i luv it, but when i first load the game up and try a online level it wont let me join till i quit the game and reload it, also when i exit the game completely (back to the xmb) it resets my whole ps3 and makes it beep
Oh and £4 for a tiny t-shirt? tis a little expensive
Sapceman suit rox tho!!!
Cool Sackboys. i have to say it really is a superb game and well worth the wait, congrats MM.
£4 for a sackboy t-shirt….. no thanks i’ll by a real t-shirt for the same price come on i thought that was gonna be free as a thank you to all the people that bought on release
I’ve got my copy since wednesday (I’m from Barcelona, Spain) and I really like the game… I’m going to enjoy it, and create levels…
But what’s the problem with the connection to the servers? I mean, this must be a game played co-op with your friends… And I have problems with servers all the day… Are you going to try to fix this?
I also find expensive the 4′99€ T-shirt… The only limit in this game should be our imagination… Not our money… With 4′99 I can buy a whole game from PSX on the store… I’m not buying a t-shirt. And all the suits? In USA they cost 0′99$ and here in Europe 1′99€? One dollar don’t equal two euros… They should cost 0′99€…
Hope you realize that this things are too expensive and make people angry. When I saw the 4′99€ t-shirt I thought “Do they think we are stupid?”. People trust you, Media Molecule, don’t dissapoint them.
Expensive though the shirt may be, the game is amazing, and I managed to pick it up for £36… so I got both the Motorstorm AND Rare Shirt to help support you guys! So don’t you go lowering the price now!
Played the game for MANY hours the past 2 days and have completed it, finding around 80% of the Prize Bubbles so far. Absolutely loving it and can’t wait to start making my own level.
If anyone wishes to add me, someone who wants friends for their account who they plan on talking to every so often, I’m JaxxKami on the PSN!
And MM? I think LBP is perfectly suited to a Time Attack mode, maybe activated by collecting a little clock bubble at the start of each level if you wish to enter that particular mode. You can then remove the races within the level, and have point bubbles stop time whilst being collected, prize bubbles stop time for 2 seconds each perhaps? Then prizes awarded based on your time. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each one getting you one piece of a full costume maybe?
Players will then be able to use the Time Attack Bubble in their games if they wish. Just an idea I thought would add SO much more replay value to a game already full of it!
Ironic. A dog is blew up in the trailer, but if we create the same thing in the game it gets moderated.
“Not the real dog of course, he was hit by a car!”
LOL!
I only just avoided getting lunch all over my monitor you goits! *grins*
“Ironic. A dog is blew up in the trailer, but if we create the same thing in the game it gets moderated.”
That’s not ironic. Irony is when something is leading you to think one thing will happen, but something else does instead. Or implies one meaning, only for that meaning to not be what you were expecting.
Hypocritical might be the correct word, but I guess it depends on whether people are flagging your game, not MM. Or perhaps there was something else questionable. Let the game get past it’s first few weeks, there will be some hiccups!
What’s this talk of a DLC t-shirt? All I could find on the online store as of today were the astronaut outfit and a pumpkin mask. Are all those people talking about the shirt British? Is it a British-only deal? I’m in the US, and I can’t find it anywhere on the store.
lol, and she just dies… which is really nice.
each time I hear that it gets funnier and funnier.
grabed a copy in my local game store on Launch day, i also managed to swag a glow in the dark little big planet t-shirt
Dead happy with the game
awsome line. “Corse Hes Not the real dog he got hit by a car” great made my day. when is some new tinkers coming out i want ice i have no ice it looked cool in the videos you showed before lbp came out why no ice? and for the heavey metal mullet planet where can i get the sack boys hair is looks aewsome
Congracts on the Uk launch, have been playing it for a few days and am so impressed with the game. Online is great fun, but i am struggling to find people to do the x2 and x4 bits on levels and get all those precious bubbles.
The downloadable content is cool, i agree with the price tag on the week 1 tshirt (though maybe £3.99 is a little steep), but all other downloads should be free really unless you are releasing a pack of them. I would struggle to justify £1.50 for a motorstorm helmet in any lifetime. But keep the content coming, its all good so far… (personally am looking for an ink-blot material so i can create a Rorsharch from Watchmen – i have all the clothes)
Bring us news on sackboy toys.. and not those scabby ones we have seen from Japan.. people will pay £££ for something like that sackboy pictured.
gg
That Sackboy boy on the Right is to damm cute!
Seriously guys, you should consider putting them in production, they would sell like waterbottles in the dessert
Oh and I seem to recall a podcast a while ago, where you where asked that same question, and the responce was, it was being looked into.
I understand the first sackboys we saw here on the site was made by one of Media Molecule guys mother.
But I can’t imagined she has been put into work on the production hehe.
But they are just so cute, and personal, not like the japanese uofficials they are badly made.
Congrats with the release of LBP, Im having a blast so far with it
please, please, please let me know if we can buy sackboy toys (like the ones on the shelf in the picture above). I *heart* sackboy!
can we play these levels? they look awsome!!! ??? ^_^
I want the plushies ! when can we buy them ?
Guys, I noticed something in that picture. The Sackboy on the right is the well known handmade one from a dev’s family member. However, the one on the right is clearly manufactured. Why and how I ca say that? Look at the tag on it’s left in the mid section.
They must be coming…..but when?!
LOL I meant the one on the left, sorry. The left one is manufactured.
amazing game! I’m not going to lie. I purchased two other games after I bought little big planet. but i find myself playing LBP more. I guess i’m hooked. Bring out more costumes please.
Thanks for pointing that out, Wraith! I would love to know when the plushes will be available–I’m dying with anticipation over here!
Love em! The Sack is the Mack! Mm could sell these bad boys all day! When will they hit retail??
HELP!!!! MY LITTLEBIGPLANET HAS BEEN GLITCHID. EVERY TIME I TRY TO ENTER LITTLEBIGPLANET, IT SAYS I DIE LIKE A MILLION TIMES. EVEN IN THE MAIN MENU. PLEASE MEDIA MOLICULE, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
hey are you guys gonna tour other places and you guys could sure make alot of money by selling sackboy plush dolls but make each one cheap so a lot of people will buy them just like the game add me i always play little big planet
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! so cute i wont the 1 on the left!! luv the game!
The game rocks i hope you come out with more like this i’m hoocked one of the best games i have played for a long time
You guys shouldn’t have launched LBP prematurely. There are way too many problems with the game. It’s pretty much a BETA 2.0. Mm sucks! You greedy lazy bums!
