AbandonedTrolley Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Larry what's the release date out in the US? Have to say it's an awesome game, if not a little infuriating with the controls sometimes, maybe I just suck at some points :D Can't wait for the servers to go live though!

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 16, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oh man, I need to try and find this somehow. Has anyone in the states gotten it early, and if so, where?Also, IGN gave it a 9.5 - Incredible, saying it is a must have even without the level creation tools. Cannot wait, for real. You really should be able to, somewhere. It's the American copies being sold here lol. Over on NeoGAF some folk seem to have been able to get the game chains selling the copy, Best Buy and independent stores. Some through asking and obviously getting an unaware employee, others just off shelves.

anthony Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 So yea, call me a bad person if you must, but I just called Best Buy and was like, my brother's birthday is this Saturday and there's a game he really wants, its called LittleBigPlanet, and it comes out Tuesday. But I heard you might have some copies now and I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor and sell me one, it would make his birthday. They said sure, and I bought one. I don't have a brother.

Pheee Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sounds like they have no real street date, and can sell it when in stock. Has this happened before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted October 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ive tried getting games early, its never worked here. Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Game, Gamestation, PC World, HMV, nothing would work lol. I have a friend who works in currys, but havent seen him in a few weeks, must use him to my own advantage one day.

I'm sure Toys'R'Us got in trouble for selling Bioshock early, imagine if Sony/MM go after Best Buy with all this disregard for street dates!

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted October 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah, I honestly hope the kid does not get in any trouble, but as I said there site does say it is Available at every store in my area, although the site also does clearly say it does not come out until the 21st. I would not feel bad if he only took out one copy for me, but he literally took out like 20 copies. On top of that, he just left them sitting out not locked up in the case like the other games, as the copy I got for my coworker I actually went back like 10 minutes after I got mine to get his, and they were just sitting out of the locked up case.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 16, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 16, 2008 Seeing as it's widespread street date breaking I'm sure they won't do anything. Bioshock was just Toys R Us, therefore easier to man handle. I hope all these leaks encourage MM to put up the online servers a bit earlier than the 21st! (Well I'm sure they'll be up a day or two before release, but now would be nice :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's just ace every level. You don't need to do them all at once, or do them in any combination. Just complete each level without dieing, and you can just hit start, restart level if you die. The amount of times you'll get 3/4 of the way through a level and get zapped by electricity or something though.... grrrr :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 16, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 16, 2008 :laugh: LittleBigPlanet Finally Convinces Will Wright To Buy A PS3SCE President Kaz Hirai recently addressed the importance of games on the PS3. This must have been great news to Spore creator Will Wright. I recently spoke to Wright at an event held in Midtown Manhattan. Of the handful of questions I asked, I wanted to know what he thought of LittleBigPlanet, since he's interested in user-created content and all. His answer was a bit surprising. "I haven?t seen as much of [LittleBigPlanet] as I?d like to. What I?ve seen of it looks intriguing and very cool. I've seen a couple videos of it, though. Is it out now? I don?t have a PS3." Wait wait wait, this is where I had to stop him. Not only did I have to tell him LBP's release date (October 21st), I had to ask why the hell he doesn't own a Playstation 3. I mean, he's Will Wright, one of gaming's greatest designers, and he doesn't have Sony's latest system? You mean to tell me over the last two years the thought to acquire one, even for free, never entered into his mind? "[LIttleBigPLanet] will probably tip the scales for me to buy one. I own pretty much every other system. There?s just been no titles for [the PS3] I?ve really wanted to see." Oooo, burn. I image Kaz will overnight a few PS3's to Will's house tomorrow now. But c'mon! MGS4? Uncharted? Resistance? Source: http://kotaku.com/5064216/littlebigplanet-...ht-to-buy-a-ps3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
