LittleBigPlanet getting WipEout, Ape Escape costumes

The bad news: According to a PlayStation Europe community manager, LittleBigPlanet's DLC hiatus will continue until next week, just slightly beyond January 22's promise of "big surprises."

The good news: As of January 26th, fans of Media Molecule's make-your-own-platformer will receive numerous downloadable goodies.

January 26th -- Chinese New Year costumes (free, available for 10 days only)
January 29th -- Groundhog Day costume (available one week only), God of War mini pack, Kratos costume
February 5th -- Valentines Day mini pack (available for 2 weeks only)
February 12th -- Ape Escape costume, Toro costume
February 19th -- WipEout costume kit

That's right, a WipEout costume kit. Haven't you always wanted your sack person to resemble a cuddly little HOVER VEHICLE THAT SHOOTS MISSILES OUT OF ITS NOSE?

The neutral news: Release dates and prices have yet to be confirmed for the North American PSN. We'll keep you informed.

Ape escape? That thing is still around?

No, but it should be.

hmmmm....
"The neutral news: Release dates and prices have yet to be confirmed for the North American PSN. We'll keep you informed"

- "Release dates" ... seems like those are good. Good sir your neutrality is broken.

he also said for north america. this is concerning europe. neutrality remains.

The WipEout costumes look 0_0

i know! wipeout? before uncharted or KILLZONE?! damn it sony, this is one of the reasons ps3 isn't doing as well as it can! bad advertising choices! get helghast costumes into LBP ASAP! not ape escape, not toro who isn't even known in america except by fanboys like us, not wipeout which doesn't even make a good costume! it's not rocket science sony! *sigh*

I think the Wipeout costumes are pretty awesome =)

Errrr...Sly, it's not advertising if the content is geared toward PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN THE CONSOLE. Speak for yourself, I like what's comming.

I too like the WipEout costumes. Somehow it mixes the Wipeout designs (Aegis Systems... WooT!) with the childlike costumes of our youth when you would see a kid go as a Bus or something for Halloween.

just because they own the system doesn't mean they'll buy certain games on it. some of my friends who defend ps3 to the death haven't even heard of uncharted and don't care about killzone.

you know what? i'm starting to like the wipeout costumes. i couldn't see it as well in this picture but the one on the playstation blog does it justice. not the first costume pack i would choose to buy, but if i had extra money to blow, i'd get them.

WipEout costumes.....how?

Bottom right hand picture.

THAT MEANS THAT THERE STILL HOPE FOR TRANSFORMERS CUSTOMES! HELL YAH!

I knew they'd release the God of War pack for pay someday. No Nariko DLC yet, but you can't see that on the LBS anyway, even if you have it. Makes me think there is a Heavenly Sword pack coming soon, too.

That reminds me, I want another Ape Escape game.

Well I'll be damn.......Gof of War pack....wonder how much they are gonna charge for that......

I suppose that mean Nariko will be offered later some time as well......

Now where is the Helghast skin???

Patience my young apprentice. For I see a situation arising after the release of Killzone 2. Let your fear and anger guide you.

but....but....Master Windu told me anger & fear leads to the Darkside.....I....must....not....give...in...

must....stay....a Jedi...

Well, you can't fight it, it's your destiny. The script says so. And the Emperor is never wrong. Oh wait, he's not emperor yet. Oh wait, I said script instead of force!

forcefail!

ROFLMAO

Will that Groundhog Day costume force you to replay the same level over and over?

+1 for you, good sir.

they should have done an Anime pack where we get goku, naruto, vegeta etc costumes and cartoony textures to build with. They missed the oportunity to give us a hand fireball technique with the street fighter pack(we can use it the same way we use paint guns). Still, I look forward to have some anime style cartoony textures and costumes for creating an innovative LBP stage... please

As long as those companies license it, why not?

Freebies!

There's this Chinese guy in my office that celebrates the Chinese new year by cooking up a ton of Chinese food and bringing it all in for everyone to eat for lunch. I can't friggin' wait.

CHINESE!

Those WipEout costumes are hilarious.

They look like cult members.

I'm thinking of starting a cult, actually.

I'll call it, the Holy Church of Joystiq Needs To Get Off Their Asses And Fix This Comment System

I've been trying to change my name/pic forEVER.

I'm in.

When do we kill ourselves?

Can I be a part of the cult? I can keep a secret and my conscience is spotty at best.

I go on /b/ for nourishment.Is that insane enough?

I'm a Xbox 360 guy, but I have to be honest. LittleBigPlanet has been making me really jealous lately.

Hey the Chinese costumes doesn't come with Asian eyes :(

Well hey, at least the Texan remembered to bring his stereotypes or whatever.

I appreciate that they're trying to support their product but I just don't see this stuff getting much traction...

It's in no way practical, but I probably won't switch from the Toro costume until Final Fantasy ones are released. /fangirl

Am I the only one who thinks the one in the bottom left corner looks like its from Animal Crossing?

its from a Japanese PSN game/News......it basically gives you trophies for just pushing buttons.....cant remember the name tho

Toro is the "Sony Cat" and so far on PS3, he's just in Mainichi Issyo ("Everyday Together" I think it is) that I'm aware of, which is a cheap way to get trophies but is also quite entertaining even if you don't know Japanese (my friends tend to take a MST3K approach to watching the reports). He's originally from the Doko Demo Issyo ("Everywhere Together"?) for Pocketstation in Japan. Here's the wiki for the character, which explains why he is in the same week as Ape Escape:

I like the Wipeout codpieces. Where can I get one for me?

The Wipeout costumes look like the costumes from Tron. All we need is a red guy and a blue.
