LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year edition coming Sep. 8, $59.99
Looks like the reports and retailer listings were accurate: LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition exists and it's coming to stores on September 8 for the same ol' $59.99 you can currently find the non-GOTY variant at. So what does your ... well, just your waiting get you above and beyond the existing release? Media Molecule has hand-picked 18 "extraordinary" level creators to each build a level "specifically for the GOTY edition." Not enough? Perhaps seven "packs" from the PlayStation Store – including the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack and Costumes Pack – would be enough to entice you? Says here that's "nearly a $30 value." Still not biting, eh? Lastly, a "limited supply" of LBP: GOTY discs will include a voucher granting you access to the ModNation Racers online beta, the next game in Sony's "Play, Create, Share" series. If you're still not convinced, we don't think the trailer after the break is going to change your mind, but we still think you should watch it. Sackboy ... he's just so cute.
Amazon lists LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year Edition
If you have yet to get your hands on Media Molecule's super-adorable platformer toolkit LittleBigPlanet, you may want to go ahead and wait a while. According to IGN, Amazon put up a listing for the rumored "Game of the Year" version of the game, which not only costs $49.99, $10 less than the list price of the original, but also includes extra content. Though the Amazon listing has been removed, IGN has decent proof of its existence: a box art image (see it in full after the break), which promises "Bonus content valued at $30!" What content is it? Who valued it at $30? Is it some portion of the existing costume and level DLC? Will free or user-created DLC be included? And, most importantly, when is this thing coming out? Since all we have is a report about a nonexistent retail listing, the amount of detail we know is pretty little.
Report: LittleBigPlanet GOTY edition comes with DLC
MCV reports that a LittleBigPlanet "Game of the Year" edition will release for the PlayStation 3 later this year. The new version will allegedly feature much of the game's (large wealth of) DLC previously released over the PlayStation Network.This information is currently being reported by a UK site, so this may be Europe only -- which has been known to happen with situations involving big DLC bundles. We're currently checking with Sony America to see if the GOTY edition is expected to arrive in the land of the buffalo.Update: "SCEA does not comment on rumors or speculation."
