Quieting our fears that it might become a cart racing game somewhere in translation, Sony has told Kotaku that the PSP version of LittleBigPlanet (what, you didn't hear?) would feature the same pillars of the PS3 game -- play, create and share. Also, director of hardware marketing for SCEA John Koller added, the little LBP might work with the PS3 version in some way, possibly with level sharing, but nothing is set in stone.
Now, don't get mad at us if Koller means you'll be creating carts, playing with carts in races and sharing carts with friends, but it sounds like you can be a little more relaxed about LBP's portable future.
Additionally, Koller assured that LBP and the rest of this week's PlayStation Destination announcements only represent a portion of the year's handheld lineup, teasing that "some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3."

LBP is a perfect fit on the PSP the same way Mario Kart is for the DS.

It will be almost useless if not properly in sync with the PS3 version. I would certainly see it as a portable part of the PS3 version.
If you can't upload things from your PSP to PS3 it's a non starter for me.

It better not be a damn remote play mode! Why are they making a psp version when they haven't even gotten everything in the PS3 version to work. We were told we'd be able to create levels with friends online from day one and that still doesn't work. Put time into that.

Will you be creating levels on the PSP? How will that work? I wonder if LBP is a console title and is not fit for a handheld. I'm very curious to see how Media Molecule pulls it off. Good luck!

All i want is to create items on my PSP ad drop them into my PS3 levels. That and I'd be happy.
