So we’ve seen the box-art for the very possible LBP Game-of-the-Year edition on PS3. Not enough? Play.com recently updated some of their stock directories. “Little Big Planet PSP” or “LittleBIGPlanet” if the box art is believed will be the name of the game, being exactly the same as its PS3 daddy.

The PSP game ’s Recommended Retail Price is at a steady £24.99 [€29.17], and available for pre-order at around £18 [€21]. That’s not far off how much the PS3 game costs now, as Media Molecule have clearly allowed reduction of the game price to encourage more micro-transactions from the PlayStation Store. Then we have the date. Play are listing it at the 20th November this year, but Amazon are claiming the 30th October, so anything goes. It’s definitely looking to be an item that Santa could stuff in his over-sized sack.

Check out the image below. It’s looking possible that this image may have been around for a while, but we haven’t seen it before, so there’s no harm in posting it now, right? It certainly looks like something mums would pick up and look at the back of. Mum-power helped the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Will mum-power help shift LBP on PSP and PSP Go?

  1. Looks good but i still cant understand the age rating – 7 !?!. Its a game where you make shapes, build things and stick stickers for petes sake!
    Anyway LBP is brilliant and i cant wait!


    • Well you also blow up stuff and shoot persons with “guns”.


      • Oh yeah, forgot about that lol


    • & play levels made by other people…


    • The PEGI rating system isn’t just based off of sex/violence/bad language like the BBFC classifications. It also takes into account the type and difficulty of the game to give a more age approriate rating – I doubt many kids under 7 would get on too well with LBP.


      • Sorry ,but you’re wrong

        PEGI is only a content indicator, it does not take into account how suitable a game is as regards difficulty and skill.

        As they say on their own websie “The age rating does not take into account the difficulty level or skills required to play a game. “


  2. This is a perfect game for PSP, can’t wait for this


    • The question is how can you rotate objects and change there size without a second analog stick?
      also how can you aim in killzone(PSP)?
      could be a dump question but I don’t know how the control works in these games T_T


  3. I’ve always thought about buying a PSP but now that a full version of my favourite game LBP is coming I want it more than ever!


    • u think EXACTLY like ME but I want the PSP Go! = )


  4. With this and metal gear coming out it could persuade me to re-buy a psp at some point. I do still have my ds though and there’s quite a few good games coming out for that this year too


    • and Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines! How could you’ve forgot of that!?!?


  5. This and Persona will sway me to be buying a PSP :D


  6. Sony will have set the price not Media Molecule. Just annoys me when people lump Developers in with their publishers on all decisions.


  7. This (and Valkyria Chronicles 2, Kingdom Hearts, GT and FF games) persuaded me to purchase a PSP and I’m glad I did. Can’t wait for it :)


  8. I too am leaning towards getting a PSP. What with all the great games coming for it;

    LBP PSP
    F1 2009
    Gran Turismo PSP
    Resistance Retribution


    • Resistance Retribution has been on UMD and on the PSN since the run up to Christmas 08.


  9. is this version going to have the level creation tools like the ps3 edition?
    i don’t recall any mention of them.


    • Yes it will


      • but im not sure you’ll keep the ability of slapping


  10. Perhaps Play.com are assuming there’ll be some kind of music based scandal that will have Sony delay the release of the game while they run off new copies?
    Just like last year :p


  11. 5 day safter my birthday and on psp wot elsa can you say,can take it fishing with me no need to go home lol keep the wife happy


  12. One question about ‘mum power.’ What happens when they buy the PSP Go and then see a game title they’ve heard of (FIFA, LBP, Burnout, Need for Speed, etc.) in a bargain bin? On UMD? There will be some angry parents and children on Christmas Day!


    • They need cards with codes on to redeem on the store.


    • Well if your are basing your assumptions off ‘mum power’ – mums will see the price of the Go and the 3000 and buy the 3000. Any mums who are pressured by their child to get the PSP Go (“mum you suck I wanted the new one!”) will just buy games for their offspring via the PSN so wont be at the shop seeing games in the bargain bin. :P


  13. Sounds like a good game, but i hope their will be a service available like other games where you can connect ur psp little big planet to ur ps3 little big planet & share for example, that would probably encourage the gamers who might have thought the game was o.k to get the other as well.


  14. This game will be brilliant! It is the only reason I’m debating buying a PSP Go to be honest, plus GT is another incentive I guess.


  15. I don’t know, it seems too bright to me. I think it needs more blue… da ba dee da ba die…
