The
God of War himself will soon find himself under new employment as Super Awesome Sackboy Superstar. The
official US PlayStation blog has revealed that there are plans for five separate
LittleBigPlanet pre-order bonuses in North America, depending upon where you reserve the game (a key detail that has yet to be revealed). Here are the bonuses:
- The Official "LittleBigPlanet Creator" MiniGuide by Brady Games
- A LittleBigStickerBook, which is -- shocker -- a sticker book
- LittleBigPouch, a burlap sack reportedly big enough to at least fit a copy of LBP
- An exclusive Nariko (of Heavenly Sword fame) SackGirl
- Exclusive Kratos (God of War) SackBoy
Sure, the exclusive SackPeople are nice, but we're willing to bet those will eventually arrive as premium downloadable content or recreated/shared via the
LBP community. We'll take two pre-orders for the decidedly more tangible LittleBigPouch, wherever that reserve bonus may end up.

Littlebigpouch please =)
Eggy @ Aug 6th 2008 9:17AM
Nice but I'm more interested in the Special Editions with sackboy/girl.
AlterEgo @ Aug 6th 2008 9:31AM
Supposedly, they're definitely 100% in the works.
Duke @ Aug 6th 2008 10:00AM
Supposedly. Without a doubt. Maybe. For sure.
FOXHOUND @ Aug 6th 2008 1:13PM
LoL I can't wait for the sackboy/girl plushes when they come out. Oh, the geeky party humor from that alone...
"Hey baby, wanna see my sack? It's a god of war hell bent on screwing you over." -whips out Kratos- :d
na2ru1 @ Aug 6th 2008 9:18AM
The pic looks badass.
Will definitely pre order

That was for Kratos, btw, not some burlap sack.
ZenGaijin @ Aug 6th 2008 9:23AM
I'm confused. Are the Nariko and Kratos sackboy/girl figures for use in game or do you actually get a little plush doll?
Hyams @ Aug 6th 2008 9:30AM
To use in game.
Although, they're working on Sackboy plush toys as well.

"This exclusive DOWNLOADABLE costume features our favorite heroine on the PS3."
Snowblind @ Aug 6th 2008 9:34AM
I HATE limited editions that come with extra content like this, it's an evil way to force you to buy them, because it seems like you're missing out otherwise.
However, I have to say that those little characters are extremely cool, so I'll let them off with it, this time :)
The_Punisher @ Aug 6th 2008 9:37AM
This isn't even a speical edition, it's a preorder BONUS.
AlterEgo @ Aug 6th 2008 9:38AM
MM says they have no plans for any LE versions of this game.
These are pre-order extras (meaning FREE)
Duke @ Aug 6th 2008 10:04AM
I would agree with your thoughts, after ignoring the fact this is a preorder bonus not an LE, if the items were things that had impact on a game, like a gun or level. You wouldn't really be missing out on anything with something so minimal as a character skin though.
Snowblind @ Aug 6th 2008 10:13AM
It may not be an actual collectors edition, but it's still extra content, even though it's trivial, it's still annoying to miss out on things like that, just because you may not be able to afford the game at time of release.
It annoyed me to no end with Jade Empire, where you could only get two of the playable characters by pre-ordering.
jron @ Aug 6th 2008 9:44AM
cockboy!
j.howlett @ Aug 6th 2008 9:48AM
sweet
j.howlett @ Aug 6th 2008 12:01PM
i want a GIR sackboy from ivader zim. it just sreams to be done.
Dahk @ Aug 6th 2008 3:17PM
To make room for the cupcake!
Eleniel @ Aug 6th 2008 11:35PM
Burriiitoooo!
MatsJn @ Aug 6th 2008 9:56AM
Ok, this doll...kinda freaks me out.
Maverick Saturn @ Aug 6th 2008 9:57AM
All I want to know is this:
1. Will I get to use Kratos' weapons?
2. Will Kratos sackboy rant on throughout the game about his memories, the gods cheating him and his poor family he brutally slaughtered?
Duke @ Aug 6th 2008 10:05AM
I'm guessing no and no to that.
Xulap @ Aug 6th 2008 11:07AM
This is just a skin of Kratos in Little Big Planet.
This is not a God of War game...
Maverick Saturn @ Aug 6th 2008 4:49PM
I know, but would be cool if it did a bit more, ya know, use the chain blades to reach places and help people out :) The second part was just for the sake of Kratos, lol, I know it won't really be in LBP, lol
deaftly @ Aug 6th 2008 10:24AM
Oh! I am def preordering whoever is selling the Nariko one. Def one of the coolest preorder promotions in a while.
deaftly @ Aug 6th 2008 11:18AM
Damn! I was thinking it was actual dolls and not for the game.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Aug 7th 2008 1:14AM
easy there deaftly. i like Nariko as much as the next guy but chill out with the virtual fapping lol.
Bluebrake @ Aug 6th 2008 10:51AM
Awesome. Sony's really understanding the potential of this game.
Now they just need to keep doing this -- for instance, give costume download codes with other major game releases.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Aug 7th 2008 1:15AM
Helghast and Chimera sackboys ftw!
Donald @ Aug 6th 2008 11:37AM
Don't let any of the Sony fanboys that there's a tag for "Casual" up there. It might send them into a blind rage.
Anyways I don't own a PS3 but if there was a game that made me want to buy one this is it. I'm still not going to get one though. =P
Kodros @ Aug 6th 2008 1:16PM
I think that every Sony fanboy knows that this game is casual. Sony has always been very good at catering to the hardcore and casual audience.
Donald @ Aug 6th 2008 3:14PM
But Nintendo isn't allowed to do it. When they make casual games everyone flips the fuck out. And before the next person says that they don't make any hardcore games Galaxy, Brawl, and Corruption say hi!
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Aug 7th 2008 1:21AM
you forgot Twilight Princess.
i have a Wii and PS3 and i can certainly see that the Wii gets way more shovelware and mini-game compilations than the PS3. but in all actuality, when has Nintendo ever had a steady flow of hardcore games? it's always play this big Mario title, wait, play this Zelda game, wait, try this new Metroid, wait, play this Mario themed sports game, lather, rinse, repeat. and with PS3, they drop all the good games at one time. then i play one at a time and pick them up as i finish the last ones (and as they get cheaper).
everybody has to cater to the casuals, the fact just remains that Nintendo is a little more famous for doing it at the time.
kbomb1upc @ Aug 6th 2008 11:41AM
What else can they do to keep us pulling money out of our pockets? Ooohh, maybe some sackboy Marvel characters... Sackboy Wolverine or Prof. X with a wheelchair... the possibilities are endless
343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 6th 2008 12:29PM
They aren't charging extra for this though, it's free with your preorder.
kbomb1upc @ Aug 6th 2008 1:42PM
@343 Guilty Fart
No I mean they keep making me want to buy LPB... And now with some pre-order goodies I just might have too...
343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 6th 2008 3:09PM
Aaah, k. I'm definitely buying this, probably pre-order once the pre-order stuff is finalized.
mj @ Aug 6th 2008 11:50AM
Wake me when there's a Charlie Brown sackboy.
HighFiveJesus @ Aug 6th 2008 1:20PM
no thanks to prepubescent bald ugly sackboys.
Meloche @ Aug 6th 2008 1:10PM
I'm preordering this game...
...and I don't even have a PS3.
Dio @ Aug 6th 2008 2:53PM
Eh, you can get the bag from Comic Con so you can pretty much get it on eBay.
robingoblin @ Aug 6th 2008 4:23PM
Probably one of the coolest bonuses for a pre-order ever!
Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Aug 6th 2008 4:45PM
Hopefully I can just create a Kratos sackboy using the in-game tools. Is this game flexible enough to do so? Also it would be cool if you could attach unlocked items from a variety of games, like the treasures you find in Uncharted.

Oh come on, Joystiq! Are you freaking kidding me?! I waited 5 minutes and even closed and reopened my browser, decided the comment failed to post, then only after I re-posted my comment does the original show up. Weblogs Inc. sites are the only ones I've ever seen that do this. Plz fix k thnx bai!
Mr.ESC @ Aug 6th 2008 9:31PM
SackGirl or SackBoy Um either way I'm Sold.
Matt @ Sep 1st 2008 12:37PM
Going for the Amazon pre-order. If both Kratos and Nariko will eventually be release via dl, then I think this is the best option, altho the book will prob be sold seperately I'm sure too. Ahh whatever!
