Bustin' makes Sackboy wear a hood

The PlayStation Blog revealed a poster of a Sackboy wearing a white, hooded sweatshirt, which makes the LBP avatar resemble the ghost character from the Ghostbusters logo. While it doesn't answer all the questions we have (is this a downloadable costume? Is it free? Will there be Ghostbusters-related levels? Is the "no" symbol part of the costume?) the latest update on LittleBigPlanet suggests that some Ghostbusters-related content is on the way. We think.

I hope the "No" symbol is part of the costume. Otherwise he's just a giant sock.

it definitely is, you can see it bulges out at his chest and is made of cloth. if it isnt, i'm sorry for giving you false hope.

j.howlett @ Jul 6th 2009 2:47PM

If you don't mind me being nosy... what the hell are you talking about?
Ninja_Nun @ Jul 6th 2009 7:22PM
I bet he was talking to someone while writing that and just kept going on what he was thinking. Either that or he has sackboys number which is pretty awesome.
Pablos102030 @ Jul 6th 2009 7:33PM
The ghostbusters. He's gonna text the ghostbusters. For fuck's sake, people.
dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jul 7th 2009 10:30AM
Aha.
It would've been worth a chuckle had he not mangled his words. :)
Courtney @ Jul 6th 2009 1:12PM
Please let there be a level pack.
Babel @ Jul 6th 2009 2:12PM
Aw man, LBP proton pack would be so awesome. A nice alternative to the paintball gun.

"Sony has finally revealed the answer to its LittleBigPlanet-related teaser question "Who ya gonna call?" It turns out that it was the Ghostbusters. You are gonna call the Ghostbusters."
lol, loved the writing, JC Fletcher xD

DUDE, he looks GANGSTA!!

MM give me a reason to play this game again
baby sea tuna @ Jul 6th 2009 1:43PM
How about so that you can spend another $2 on a licensed costume that doesn't do anything to alter the gameplay?
WREturns @ Jul 6th 2009 1:31PM
Fucking. Sweet.

I hope this is level packs like they did with MGS. Maybe they could have levels based off the two movies and the recent game. Maybe even a proton pack add-on like the paintinator in the MGS level
scratch @ Jul 6th 2009 2:03PM
win! your idea is the win! here's hoping!
hatmantc @ Jul 6th 2009 2:38PM
this is pure win though. two awesome ips coming together to make a super ip.. nice
bravo9zero @ Jul 6th 2009 2:51PM
Please be a level pack!!
I'm sick of costume packs tbh, don't add anything to the gameplay.
Nick Mosedale @ Jul 6th 2009 3:20PM
For me this is hard to swallow having to wait for the 360 version of ghostbusters in the UK because Sony bought the publishing rights to the game..... and CYNICALLY delayed the release of the game on other formats. There is competition, and then there is cynisism... it stinks and most gamers who arent fanboys will see what I see.

so does this guy....
uncle jesse @ Jul 6th 2009 3:24PM
You can import it and play it region-free. Check it out....

Nick Mosedale @ Jul 6th 2009 3:26PM
Fair enough.... but that is still extra cost and unnecessary hassle. I wouldn't go as far as the ranter linked, but you have to admit that is a bit of a pathetic move by Sony.
uncle jesse @ Jul 6th 2009 3:39PM
Eh, it happens. No point in getting all worked up over it like that loser on the youtube video (seriously, a youtube video complaining about it?).
Microsoft has it's exclusives and so does Sony. They will both continue this kind of stuff for as long as they are in the gaming business. It's just the way it is. You'll get yours and others won't, and sometimes you won't get yours and others will. Win some, lose some. Life goes on. The early bird gets the worm. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A penny saved is a penny earned. A chain is as strong as it's weakest link. Know what I mean?
benny boy @ Jul 6th 2009 4:45PM
You're lucky Sony is releasing it at all on the XBox 360. It wouldn't even have been published in the UK if it wasn't for Sony so I would stop complaining.
I would bet that if Microsoft had payed for the publishing rights, it wouldn't even be coming out on the PS3. You're just being pathetic and complaining for nothing.
benny boy @ Jul 6th 2009 4:48PM
Also, how is this any different to Microsoft paying for exclusive DLC (GTA, Fallout3 etc.) or timed exclusives (i.e. Rock Band)? That's a lot worse in my view.
Cheesus(Crust) @ Jul 6th 2009 10:38PM
That guy should get a life, what a retard.
Danny @ Jul 7th 2009 6:38AM
Not unlike Microsoft who are paying for an 360 version of FFXIII and delaying it by months for all the ps3 owners for a joint release.. They all do it.

ADORABLE.
korwyn @ Jul 6th 2009 7:50PM
it was cool for Microsoft to pay for exclusivity for so many titles also time exclusive titles and even exclusive DLC. but when Sony does it, it's a bad thing?
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 6th 2009 7:31PM
Bustin' brown people makes Sackboy feel good

*Cough*
Erm, meant to reply to WREturns.
Nick Mosedale @ Jul 7th 2009 1:44PM
It's one thing buying the rights to DLC, which has been done by all the major companies, it's quite different buying publishing rights and excluding gamers from a game that is complete and rwady to ship on all systems. I'm not even buying the game! I was simply voicing my concerns over this issue...
Not really sure why people need to downvote something simply because they don't agree with the opinion of a reader... I thought it was to display total horror at something that is unsuitable, rude, or downright offensive?
Nick Mosedale @ Jul 7th 2009 1:50PM
If Microsoft had done this I would have been equally offended, but it wouldnt have affected me as I do not have a PS3. I admit I may not have raised the issue... Anyway I was just trying to get some constructive discussion on this going, which largely it has, but there are a lot of Sony fans in this thread who turn instantly defensive at any critisism of their company... let's all relax, and enjoy our respective gaming platform.
Nick Mosedale @ Jul 7th 2009 1:51PM
Oh right so we're not giving a thumbs down to this racist comment?
