LittleBigPlanet 2 grabs onto Nov. 16 release date; Collector's Edition and pre-order bonuses detailed
90
Here's that LittleBigPlanet 2 release date you were looking for: November 16. That's just under four months away, which leaves you just enough time to make some tough decisions. Here are your choices: you can either pre-order the game from select retailers to score a number of special costumes -- as seen in our gallery below -- or you can opt for the $80 Collector's Edition, which is also a limited edition, by virtue of actually being limited.
Pre-orders from Amazon will net you both Ratchet and Clank costumes, along with four new "Animals" costumes for a grand total of six. Order from BestBuy and grab, claw-style, the Toy Story Alien costume along with, you guessed it, the four Animals costumes. Lastly, order from GameStop and get a Tron suit along with the same four Animals costumes. There's also a Gonzo costume, but Sony's not saying which retailer that's tied to.
If all this pre-ordering sounds hard, why not just do it the American way? Throw money at the problem! 80 bucks nabs you a copy of the game, a 7-inch Sackboy plushie (cute!), LittleBigPlanet 2 bookends, all the above mentioned costumes, and exclusive Jak and Daxter costumes. Not bad for a $20 premium. The catch: This Collector's Edition is actually a limited edition, "so you better pre-order soon to ensure you get one," Sony says.

I'm really wishing I had a PS3 now. LBP looks like an amazing game!

@Prince David I went ahead and preordered what you linked to, but soon, they should incorporate that into the main product, making it easy to switch on the main product page, not to mention it will get details over what's included, the release date, etc.

@linebeginstoblur Yeah they should, strangely I could not find it by searching for Little Big Planet, I had to search for little big planet collector's edition. I just wanted to make sure I preordered before they sold out, just in case.

@edge426 You can always preorder it on Amazon then later on change your shipping method. I did that with Starcraft 2

@FIRST1 - With all that in your hands and you have not seen what Starcraft 2's editor mode?
Maybe you should check out Metal Slug Starcraft 2, or Final Fantasy Starcraft 2 just to name a few of my favorites. Its quite amazing what gamers have been building with it.

With that in mind, Starcraft's editor mode, requires a lot of programming skill. You pretty much need to build everything yourself.
LittleBigPlanet on the other hand, is for me. I don't have any programming skill, but If I put the time and effort, I can build something.

"Don't knock it till you try it."
Oh, I am SO glad you said that.
The difference between StarCraft II's editor and LBP's editor is twofold: backwards compatibility and resources.
These two pieces alone allow for many more complex editing of levels than SC2. Can you make a FPS in StarCraft? I doubt it:

So STFU and eat your own advice.

This is an example of Opinionated-asshole-self-righteousness syndrome.
See, Mr. Shimrra74 here has an opinion. We can respect that, but Mr. Shimrra74 wants to change our opinions and make us think that we are wrong and he is right. Now, Evil Hasselhoff believes that Starcraft II has a better editor than LBP2. I can respect that but you tried to force it down our throats. Thus, OASR syndrome.

@Bobby Kotick
The thing is, you could literally say that about every game.. What's the deal with the new Madden... What's the deal with Call of Duty, it's just the same FPS with slightly better graphics... If you don't like LBP then sucks for you, because a lot of people do. Go play something you do like, and not troll on how you don't like the game.

@Bobby Kotick Darn it Bobby Kotick! If I could explain it I could also explain why Kid's love Cinnamon toast crunch?
But seriously people like to create even if it's bad and also people just want something simple to play sometimes and take a break from bang bang shootem or slice slice stabby.
Me? I love playing with my Niece. They enjoy tagging along and me helping them when them when they can't figure it out. Plus she loves stickers. (what kid doesn't?) So the appeal is to share my hobby with my niece. Which thanks to her dad is now one of her hobbies beside coloring, riding her bike or cheerleader practice.

@Bobby Kotick I don't this is total trolling. Just asking an honest question about why people like the game so much. For me it's just fun, because it's quirky and really lets you get creative. Another plus is this is one of the few games that my Fiance will sit down and play with me for long periods of time.
