Long ago, in a year known as 2007, mankind was disappointed by the news that there would be no demo for the upcoming PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet. We were only disappointed though as we assumed that a demo would be coming at some point, most likely before the game released. No demo ever came, leaving mankind to rely solely on Destructoid's review of the game, which was both honest and correct (we're always right -- always), so it wasn't that big a deal. Still, maybe some of mankind wanted to try the game out for themselves before purchase.
Now they shall have that chance. With the announcement that LBP will be getting a Game of the Year edition on September 8 comes the news that the Game of the Year edition will be getting a demo on September 10. Rejoice, ye who are late at buying great games. The demo will feature a few of the levels from the game, a small selection of level creation tools and a few levels that have been picked from the massive community level database. Maybe then you'll join the rest of us in the glory that is launching an adorable Sackboy into a brick wall at high speeds.

Still, can't blame them for trying to capitalize on the lower price of the console, not to mention the slim redesign.
So, the demo will point me in the right direction, to buy it or not.
LBP is the best game released in the whole year.
GTA is overrated.
It'd be cool if this upcoming demo was actually one of the more popular user-made levels, just to show what the community has to offer.
Awesome!
I'm going for the full version personally. Never picked it up but always was interested. But since so many people say it's great and I should play it I'll take their word.
@EternalDeathSlayer
I guess you can't blame any company for using that as a selling point if even just 1 publication/website says it's true. Personally I think MGS4 should have been hands-down goty everywhere, but that's personal opinion. Ironically enough, there's no goty edition for MGS4 yet
If you bought the game a year ago, you won't be able to play them, sorry.
At least those games have DLC that...you know, would make a GOTY worth it
*looks at L4D*
I live in Europe. Don't know if that has got anything to do with it?
I have a 12 pound credit note and just got the damn game today for nothing, not knowing there would be a GOTY edition with all of the DLC included. I would hold onto the note, but it expires soon.
I'm bloody stupid sometimes. :(
@Tommy Creo
That could've been the BETA which was open to a LOT of people, I know I got a key of a fellow Dtoider!
Ah, ofcourse. I had forgotten about that. Thank you for clarifying.
