Somewhat reminiscent of Halo 3's highly sought-after Flaming Hayabusa helmet (although infinitely more adorable), LittleBigPlanet's Community Prize Crown, a wearable piece of in-game DLC, has become an unparalleled status symbol within the LBP fanbase. However, this monarchical garment isn't easily acquired -- it'll take more than a completely original Trophy collection level or an overflowing PSN Wallet to bring home Media Molecule's royal headgear.
The latest LBP "Sack it to Me" news update outlined the three different methods players can use to obtain the crown. None of said methods are a breeze -- you've either got to catch their attention on the LittleBigWorkshop forums, create something in-game that ultimately becomes an internet phenomenon, or win one of their LittleBigChallenges. They anticipate that only 50 crowns will be awarded this year -- so you should probably start being secure about wearing that lowly space helmet for a while.

Do you think my PS3 theme will get me some attention?
If not, you should go download it, anyway! ;D

oh and although it's unrelated, if you have killzone 2 and want to join a clan, send me a message over PSN. my PSN is slycooper_rocker. anyone can join, even if you're not that good or if you have a crappy connection. it's mostly just for fun with some competition every once in a while.

It'll be an achievement for me just to see someone else wearing the crown

Same for me. I have to be lucky just to be able to play online with someone. So how will I ever find someone with the crown?
@ Tim Parsons & other LBP owners
I have all of the LBP trophies except for Create and Socialist. I need 11 hearts as a creator and I will have the Create trophy and I need some help getting the Socialist one. Everytime I play online no one ever joins in. I will literally play like 50 levels without someone joining me. So if you could help me with that it would be nice =)
If not then thats ok.. I could get someone else, but if you do help, I will reward you back in some way.
Thanks

I got one! Hehe...no really I do. I think it's cool they are giving other people a chance to get it but still keep it rare.

I need to finish the game first before I worry about showing this off to the online world...

I think that you mean it's like Halo 3's recon, not the flaming hayabusa. =P

Yeah, the flaming chest piece is for Bungie employees only. It's the Recon armor that you can receive as recognition.

At the rate they are handing these out, the crowns will soon be downgraded from "Ultra Rare" to "kinda rare".
