Imagine working in a publishers marketing department, sitting in meetings and discussing tactics on the best way to launch a new product. Do you do  a viral web campaign, maybe developer diaries or the good old fashioned great big press event? Decisions, decisions but it doesn’t really matter as an online retailer will probably leak the cover art and give the whole game up anyway.

LittleBigPlanet is getting a ‘Game of the Year Edition’ later this year and the rumours have all been about what content will be included on the disk, will it be some new story mode levels from Media Molecule, new level packs, top rated community levels, or even the best of the premium costumes released so far? Well that still isn’t known but what we do know is that the release will include $30 of additional content thanks to a slip up by some eager young apprentice over at Amazon.com who hit the upload button a bit prematurely.

The listing on Amazon’s US site has now been removed, and a quick search of the UK, German and French site also turns up a blank, but to prove that it did exist take a look at the piccy below, and let us know in the comments below what you’d like to see included in the Game of The Year edition.

  1. more media molecule made levels and trophies


    • really?
      I thought it was the same just with the Add-Ons inside the Blu-ray Disc instead of the system??
      It’s gonna take long to install though as the first time I played LBP I had to wait 15min and it was worth it as I GOT THE PLATINUM TROPHY!!!
      WOOO HOOOOO


      • i was saying thats what i was hoping for. – “let us know in the comments below what you’d like to see included in the Game of The Year edition.”

        how did you get the platinum in 15 mins? (i’m missing a trick here! hope its not like the buzz trick cause thats why i stopped playing buzz cause the platinum wasn’t worth shit)


    • More MM levels is all I want, anything else I’m not interested in. Especially if the extra stuff is just a shovel load of costumes.


  2. Damn! i hope it is REALLY expensive cause i only just bought this the other day. It probably will though won’t it, £30 ’s worth of free content? Unlikely free! I got it for £10 anyway so….


    • $ not £


  3. I would love to see all of the previous costume DLC, and more levels from MM!

    Although I love quite a few of the community levels, none of them really can compete with MM’s.


    • YEH, I AGREE = )


  4. This reminds me that I should go finish my level…


    • Yeah, I’m thinking the same…


      • heh heh old memories = )


  5. Somehow I really doubt more MM levels, or I imagine they would have said already.


    • They’ve announced a “big announcement” for August 18th (the date of the Sony conference at GamesCom).
      I hope there will be a new story campaign, with the same size of the original one and a full range of new costumes, materials, stickers, decorations, backgrounds, enhancements, sounds and music to collect :D


  6. They could value the user made levels at $30.


  7. I’m thinking it has something to do with the big announcement coming at Gamescom..


  8. Im guessing it will include a load of costume and sticker packs.


  9. I heard of a new tool for the creation system that will make it better, this will be included in the GOTY edition, and I think it’s gonna be announced at the Games con…


  10. Whatever they release extra for the GoTY edition, eg a new tool or something, I think they should release as DLC as well for those of us with the current edition of LBP.


    • I’m sure they will :)


  11. I doubt I’ll buy this version of my favourite PS3 game as well, unless it has TONS of extra stuff.


  12. I wonder if this means that they’ll give you over $30 credit towards LBP DLC of if they’ll come packed with the stuff. Hmm?


  13. The issue of the Official PS Mag (UK) that went out to subscribers this week says that the GotY edition features the Ghostbusters stuff.


  14. it would be nice if they put in a few of the community levels if that is possible. Or maybe increase the size of the storymode! but there will be of course many new costumes and prize bubbles and things that you can use for your own createlevels.


  15. I might actually have to buy this.
