For better or for worse, it looks exactly like it did on the PS3. The Pop-It tool seems to drive the familiar experience, giving players access to a variety of textures and objects. The PS3 editor certainly has been successful so far (creating over a million levels so far), but those that expected a more streamlined process for the handheld version may be disappointed.

So what's the point of playing this if it's almost exactly the same as the ps3 version?
Specially when that one wasn't very good :P

I could have deduced that on my own with the sackboy avatar.
I'm serious about the first part though. Why buy a game for $60 and then spend another $40 or so to play a nearly identical game. Games like this is why I have a hard time answering critics of psp saying it's just a system for ps2 (in this case, ps3) ports.

Well firstly, not everyone has a PS3, idiot.
Secondly, critics and millions of players disagree with you.

There's really no excuse not to have a ps3 by now, but I still expect to hear the excuses and sob stories pouring in even with the price cut.
This seems like an incredible waste of $40 to me, and I would have said that even if I liked the original LBP...since it's the same game.

the answer is that there are non-ps3 owning psp pwners (owners) who want LBP on the go

Because I have a 360 and a PSP but not a PS3. That's a GREAT reason. It's also how I got to play God of War.
Not everyone has the money or desire to have all systems.

That's a lazy excuse. Since you have no desire to get a ps3, you have no desire to play LBP, so that means you don't care about this either.

So it's like Halo 3 and Halo ODST?
Don't care. LBP is awesome. Can't wait to play my PSP again. LBP and GT5PSP baby. My New PS3 Slim ordered. Now.. only if I want to play my Wii. what a waste that was.

I have to want to spend $300 or $400 for maybe one or two games I'm interested in? Sounds like a bad investment to me.
I prefer 360's catalog of games and exclusives over the PS3's so it only makes sense that I may enjoy a portable version of the PS3 games I can't otherwise play at about 1/4 the cost of a PS3.
Makes perfect sense to me, but your blind devotion to your system of choice must cloud your understanding.

My sister likes playing LBP but since the game and PS3 are mine and I live in school, she has little time to play it, she doesnt want a PS3 because well she a girl so THIS game well suit her well, since right now she is deciding between a DSi and PSP(because of LBP)

That's sony's problem. If they want to take away potential ps3 customers and switch them to psp then they should keep doing things like this.

Because the PS3 and 360 libraries are almost identical. If you already have a 360, there's not much reason to buy a PS3 as well.
I keep saying this and you never take it to heart, but really, stop being an idiot.

Here come the excuses and sob stories. There's more than enough exclusives with both if you count retail and psn/xbla games to justify buying both.

One thing I seem to not see on this whole discussion (read argument) is that it would be hella inconvenient to take a PS3, portable power source, TV, and LBP with you anywhere you went. I think this, along with the amazing game LBP is, is why they would make a portable version. Call me crazy.

really tmac? maybe some people like having their favorite games on the go. Maybe, I have a level I want to create, but I'm not home, or I'm on vacation, or away at college, or on a train or WHATEVER. I can just whip out my PSP and play LBP on the fucking go. that's the whole point of portable systems. it'll expand the userbase, and maybe persuade people who don't own a ps3 to buy one....you're being quite an ignorant guy right now.

My God this is a ridiculous argument. I have both a PS3 and a PSP. Tell me TMac, what am I supposed to do during road trips when I want to play LBP? Luckily I have a decent amount of free time at work, my PSP is perfect for this, and so will LBP. What about when I'm getting tires put on my car and I'm waiting for an hour? I could go on and on. Just because you can't understand the practicality of a portable LBP doesn't make it a bad idea.

tmac- 6 billion people
20 million ps3's now and counting..
150+ million ps2's sold and counting...
most of the ps2's were sold @ or below the $ 199 price point.
the bulk of ps3 and 360 console sales are yet to come IMO.
tmac if you dont care for the game then who cares. i for 1 have not bought the game yet and have not much interest to play yet. i do plan on buying the game when it eventually gets a $ 30 greatest hits tag....
i can understand putting the game on the psp though. it seems like a great and popular casual / creation game to put on the psp to offer a greater array of psp games.
im sure you were like me and were one of the many who would say the psp has no games, well buddy the psp has games and the library will continue to grow over the years. yeah i do not have as much to choose as with my ds, but what handheld console will run a ps3 quality port ?
now you complain on the type of games the psp will offer? give it a rest ever?
more games are more games.
tmac wouldnt you love to play halo 3, gears, mass effect, or whatever exclusives you care to play on the 360 and whatever consoles you own on a handheld console at some point ?
if you dont like handhelds, then you dont like handhelds.
but im sure if MS offered a similar device with 360 exclusive titles being ported, you would not be whining and wetting your diaper :P

Wow... just... wow...
I have a PSP. I don't have a PS3. There is only one PS3 exclusive I like... LBP. So I am expected to spend $300 for a system to get one game for it? That, my friend, is not an excuse to buy a system... that is just plain idiocy. They release one on a system I own, of course I will buy it. But you can't say that there are more than enough reasons to own a PS3... some of us can't afford all the systems. Some of us can't afford more than a game every month or two. There are plenty of games worth grabbing my attention on other systems... there are no reasons to buy a PS3 for some people. So they should ignore that money base? The PSP is a separate system, and I'm not gonna bitch about a game or two that the PS3 has that I can't play... but of course I will buy them for another system if given the chance. Now grow some balls and stop bitching about a game you are not required to buy. Deny it all you want, but you just feel if you had to spend all the money on your systems, you want everyone else to, and if they don't, you feel they shouldn't get all the games they want to play. Love how some people just live off of making bringing the world down with them.

Is this your first console generation? There are barely any exclusives between the 360 and PS3. And I didn't say they were identical, I said they were almost identical, because they are.

Seriously Roto13, in what year are you?
The PS3 already has:
Uncharted
Resistance 1 & 2
Killzone 2
Ratchet & Clank Future ToD, QfB
Metal Gear Solid 4
Socom
inFamous
Motorstorm 1 & 2
Little Big Planet
PixelJunk Eden
PixelJunk Monsters
Flower
And now, the following are coming:
Uncharted 2
Gran Turismo 5
The Last Guardian
Heavy Rain
Gow III
MAG
Final Fantasy XIV
Ratchet & Clank Future CiT
If this isn't enough for you to see the difference between a PS3 and a 360 then you are fucking blind. The PS3 has clearly the best line-up, which is appealing to a broader audience. All the 360's exclusives I can think of are about shooting: Halo, Gears, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect, Shadow Complex... And besides, most of them are available for PC, whereas the PS3's games aren't. Out of the 3 consoles this generation, the PS3 is the one most worth owning, in my opinion.
But who am I kidding, I know you will fail to understand any of the points I made and ignore them all.

"The 360 has just as many good exclusives as the PS3" that you can't even name them, right. Oh, and I forgot another 360 shooter: Left 4 Dead. And Left 4 Dead 2 is already coming, because the 360 just can't have enough shooters.

i mean who wants a free AAA game with a psp go purchase or an immediate $ 100 + price drop on all ps3 consoles and a slimmer model at the same price coming in 1 month ?
who wants cheaper and more games available on their psp to play ?

i never really realized how... not really different but how "uncrisp" the visuals are compared to the ps3 version. now don't get me wrong, its not like i'm playing this game because its a crysis or something but i for some reason the sackboy and some of the visuals seem much more.... flat than their ps3 counterpart. with games that look as good as crisis core, soul calibur, god of war, and so on, i would've liked a bit more graphically, but if everything they say about a near equivalent in terms of gameplay, i'm totally fine with that. now the only thing is i can't use both sticks to beat on my friends if i play with them....
