Save for a few of the game's beefier DLC packs, a majority of the downloadable content for LittleBigPlanet has been purely aesthetic. Not that we mind being able to dress our Sackboys up like Cole McGrath -- but we'd prefer something that makes the already rich level creation engine just a little bit richer.
Fortunately, during the Develop Conference earlier this month, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healy announced that an upcoming piece of DLC will add "lots of exciting things that make it into more of a versatile creation tool." He didn't get any more specific than that, but added that it would make fans "very happy." Hey, if it helps our levels not look like something a six-year-old drew in Sunday school, we'll be pleased as punch.

Now that we have hundreds of dollars of DLC, how about dropping the price of the disc to $20 to get more people playing?

It could be worth $100, but that doesn't mean people will buy it for that much. My point is that they make plenty of money on the DLC at this point and have probably recovered their production cost. Why not drop the price on the disc to get more people into the LBC community and rely on the DLC for profit?

ooo. guess it's in higher demand here? I would easily scrounge up $20 to pay for this game. To be fair they're likely making a lot more money this way, and that's the way economics work. Sigh, guess they'll have to wait for me to be a customer.

would be great if they added the feature to be able to use anything on your HDD to import in the game. The cam isn't that great to bring in pics of my artwork.

Well, the Joystiq writers must have bad level designing skills D: haha, none of my levels look like a 6 year olds drawing.
In fact, most of them look like stuff out of Fat Princess.. Which is good, no?

The game is already AWESOME. More versatile means more good levels, woah! I'm addicted to LBP.

Water would be great but I think that'll come with part 2. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is. I need to get the game back from a friend and start playing this again.
I would love to see an inFamous level pack come along with Cole's costume and electrical powers.

I want splitscreen + capture the flag! /fantasies
Seriously though, what could it be, besides more layers.

Hopefully, it's Team Online Co-Creation that was promised at launch, and then promised in the first DLC.. And still isn't here.
