Some lucky guys find LittleBigPlanet at their local Wal-Mart photo

Well, will you look at these gleeful sons of bitches. Apparently Wal-Mart was late on getting the memo to pull LittleBigPlanet off their shelves, because these two dudes scored copies very recently.

Of course, since then we've made a few calls, and it seems like the corporate gods realized their flub and have since sent out a memo to have it pulled. Dag. I was about to get my shoes on and go on a Wal-Mart world tour. I guess if you're still really desperate to get it you can go and pay $150 on Ebay.

two of my buddies managed to pick up copies last week. but I haven't heard from them since.... they must have turned into Muslim Extremists from hearing only 2 lines from the Qu'ran and are now planning out their attacks using LBPs extensive level creator.

Why would you not buy more than one copy to sell online?

Probably because those dudes are more concerned with showing off their ability to play it rather than scalp you for it. Personally, I wouldn't press my luck with it.

It's available all over Atlanta. Sadly, LBP won't show up in the system at the register. Clerks don't have the ability to ring up the price alone either.

I hate seeing things like this. I've never managed to get a game before the release date.

I was working at a certain video game store last night for the Fable II release and we had guys going across the street to Wal-Mart where they were selling Little Big Planet. Apparently Blockbuster is selling them, too.

I already checked a Best Buy and a Walmart today to no avail. Castlevania will help me survive the week.

LBP is already being sold here in Chile. Like since last week. Look at this store in Santiago www.todojuegos.cl
They are charging more than usual though.
I don't know if the price raise is for the exclusive or the dollar going up lately.

I tried to punch Mike (the guy on the left) in the face for outsmarting the system but I couldn't fit my hand through the phone so I just insulted the Packers in front of him since he's from Wisconsin.

A guy I work with got his in Salem, NH at midnight last night/today. He and one other customer tricked the retarded manager into selling it to them. Lucky for me, my coworker knew how amped I was for this game and picked me up a copy too! HELL YES. I'm actually updating my PS3 right now before I hit that shit up!!
