When LittleBigPlanet first reared its clothsome head, I must admit I wasn't overly excited. It simply didn't look all that engaging and had "tech demo" written all over it. Stuff like this new Amazon pre-order trailer, however, is enough to convince me that the lengthy development has been well, well worth it. LBP is looking better than ever.
I can't get enough of the little sackboy with the helmet and cape. If this adorable little game doesn't help the PS3 shift, I don't know what will. The Sackboy alone is likely due to create enough marketing potential for Kaz Hirai to buy a grand piano covered in feathers. You don't really need a feathery musical instrument, but when you're Kaz Hirai, you can do these things. Just don't ask to see his scaley tuba.

Need a reason to buy a PS3....sony just aint giving me one!!
Te music on that vid sux arse too!!
Side note: The worlds most adorable platformer for the wii would get rocked so hard by people saying it was cutesty and not hard x core enough, so it should be fun to see what happens with the hardcore crowd and LBP.

i feel its best to start at the beginning...
Why are my comments stupid?
Looks like a real time lemmings crossed with pickmin
Can you really only pre-order from Amazon?
And to answer an earlier question about the hardcore fan, I am a hardcore player and I will be designing levels. All the time. And probably lose my job.
that is all.
See my earlier comment on what the bonus items are & which store gives which. There will be 5 bonuses from 5 different places you can pre-order. 2 have been announced.
Amazon & Gamestop
I suspect the last 3 to be Target, Best Buy & Circuit City
or BlockBuster
@Speedbag: Where were you when everyone else heard that LBP has a main platforming game that doesn't require you to edit shit and is in fact required playing if you do want to edit things? I'll agree there's too much hype for LBP, but you don't seem to have the first clue what it is actually about.
Well from what i saw on this video id say Ikuruga, REZHD PORTAL Still alive, Omega five, Fatal Inertia EX, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Wipeout HD to name a few.
Also from what i saw you pic from a number of abilites to get through parts of the levels like lemmings and it looked in the stlye of Pikmin...if Im wrong the video musn't portray the game very well.
I think you are the one looking stupid gettin your self all worked up over a video game, take five and breath!
