Weekly LBP DLC: A turkey helmet and Chimera costume photo

If you didn’t know, Thanksgiving is in a couple of days. That’s why this week’s downloadable content update for LittleBigPlanet is far more odd than usual. As a gift to their fans, Media Molecule has developed a slick-looking turkey helmet for your Sackboy. The content is completely free and available via the PlayStation Store this afternoon. We wonder if Sackboy enjoys the splendor of getting first-hand knowledge of turkey anatomy.

The second piece of content is slightly cooler, but will cost you some change. For $1.99, you could be the proud owner of a Resistance 2 Chimera costume. Like we mentioned last week when we caught a glimpse of the costume from a Japanese PSN ad, that helmet looks wicked awesome. It doesn’t have gloves, but it does come with a complete skin change. I read on the Internet somewhere that people enjoy their Sackboys being different colors. This costume will be available at some point this afternoon as well.

My only significant problem with LBP was that Sackboy couldn’t do anything with his teeth. Granted, there are a few striking mouthpieces, but I require more from loveable avatars. I like where Media Molecule is going with the Chimera helmet, but I really wish those fangs were transplanted to Sackboy’s mouth. Make that happen, Media Molecule.

free turkey 'mask' is an awesome gesture indeed, too bad the chimera one is 2 dollars.

Ha, I love this game. I don't even give a shit that it costs money, it's still pretty cool stuff.

Not that I would buy it.

I keep getting an error right before the download starts for the turkey helmet. I have no idea what the issue is, but I'm gonna try it again later. The Chimera costume looks awesome.

Two dollars for a costume? I don't care how cute it is, two dollars seems like a bit too much for me.

The turkey costume reminds me eerily of a headcrab.

Such a shame that the DLC is region locked. Creates more problems for some of us than you can imagine (for example, countries that do not have PSN store cannot download DLC for users that are registered in their true country of residence.People who lie about their whereabouts and import the game from their virtual residence region, can download the DLC.)

My brother imported the asian version, he literally cannot download any dlc, because his user is registered in a different region. He would have to create an asian account, but he should also give up his username for littlebigplanet, just for that game.

So region locked DLC pretty much f****d up the region free nature of PS3.

Both are cool. I love the chimera one, looks great. But is it $2 great? Little steep, if it was $.99 like the others are I wouldn't hesitate.

It's region locked? Damn. I hope the turkey gets released outside of USA, being that it's Thanksgiving themed.
