Items tagged with 'Level Packs'
As you might have already seen, new LittleBigPlanet DLC for January and early February has been revealed.
In amongst the great new costumes and content packs is the God of War mini pack. Some lucky North American customers have already had this pack for some time now; as the God of War mini pack was available for all who pre-ordered at Gamestop. However, January 29th sees the commercial release of this pack, which will retail for $2.99 (£2.39 / €2.99 TBC).
Let’s have a quick recap about what the God of War mini-pack includes:
- Special God of War themed stickers
- Three costumes: Kratos, Medusa & Minotaur
Feeling horny?Kratos is of course also included in the God of War mini pack, although his availability has been somewhat more widespread than his Medusa and Minotaur chums. In the UK for example, the Kratos costume was available through the Official PlayStation Magazine via a promotional code.
January 29th also sees the commerical release of the Kratos costume, retailing at $1.99 (£1.59 / €1.99 TBC).
Despite Media Molecule creating what is perhaps the most awesome DLC content ever, for any game; Sony have managed to disappoint the community by not releasing it on the day on which they announced they would.
European Community Team Leader ‘Muster Buster’ has told European Community Forum members that the content will be released “Not today, cant confirm tomorrow.“.
Naturally, this is a huge disappointment for the LBP community. Many players have been checking the PlayStation Store all day, waiting for the content to arrive. Again, communication is an issue for players here, as it is unlikely that the decision not to launch today was made late in the day. A simple announcement would have been fine.
With Muster Buster saying he can’t even confirm it’s release for tomorrow, we wouldn’t be surprised if the release date slipped to Thursday, the day when the PlayStation Store gets its regular update.
Will it still launch in U.S and Asia? We’ll update with more news when we hear it.
[UPDATE]
The U.S has now received the MGS DLC on the U.S PlayStation Store, Dec 23rd 6pm E.S.T. We can’t confirm Japan or other regions, but Europe is still MGS-packless, for no significant reason.
SCEE did inform press that the pack would be released in Europe on Dec 23rd, it was confirmed when they announced their pricing for the packs across Europe.
Interestingly, SCEE sent out a press release last week saying that there will be a Wipeout HD demo on the European PlayStation Store on Christmas Eve. If they do update the store tomorrow, then there is a good chance of the MGS packs arriving at the same time.
1am update perhaps? Maybe that’s hopeful, but keep your eyes peeled in Europe.
Americans… get downloading!
[FINAL UPDATE]
The MGS DLC is now available on the European Store, 12 hours later than expected.
The final waves of information regarding the awesome new Metal Gear Solid DLC for LittleBigPlanet are here.
1. The Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack will arrive on the same day, priced $5.99 / €5.99 / £4.79 or individual costumes for $1.99 / €1.99 / £1.59. The costumes available are: Meryl, Snake, Screaming Mantis & Raiden.
2. The Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack will arrive on the PlayStation Store on December 23rd 2008, priced $5.99 / €5.99 / £4.79. The Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack will overload you with MGS-themed materials, objects, stickers and decorations, plus… well - take a looky right here:
- A 5th Sackboy costume…the Gurlokovich Soldier (see above).
- 72 New Stickers
- 12 New Materials
- 10 New Decorations
- 18 New objects
- 3 new background music tracks
- 1 new interactive music track
- New Metal Gear Solid themed ‘sound object’
- New Plasma Ball ‘danger element’
- New Laser Sight ‘gadget’
- New functioning Searchlight lamp
- 12 new Trophies to unlock
- THE PAINTINATOR and Paint Switch
With the THE PAINTINATOR you’ll be able to splatter anything that comes between you and the end of any level. Shoot paintballs with the R1 button and using the right stick to aim. Paintballs will hit very weak slap. Shoot ‘Brains’ from a safe distances now and progress thru levels much easier. The Paint Switch, so you can attach it to any object and set it to destruct after being splattered with enough paint.
Don’t forget you can see some screenshots showing all these things and more. Though you pretty much *have* to watch the official trailer, it’s great:
Wow. There has been so much great news over the past 24 hours, we’re going to need a holiday!
Oh - we have one now, yay! And some Baileys, yay! And MGS4 DLC for Christmas day, yay!

The first screenshots of the new Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack are now hitting the web, and peoples minds are literally being blown completely out of their skulls with the sheer awesomeness of the contents of the DLC pack.
So, if you have not yet seen the MGS trophies you'll be getting, or the MGS costumes you will be able to get...
Hold on to your hats...
Here's that character line up again. A decent look at Raiden!
What the?!
No way! Defense turrets and everything!

Here on the Planetoid we simply can't contain ourselves. We only have one small reaction to these screenshots:
Head on over to our price and content breakdown for the official trailer.

The much talked about Festive Level Pack is now available on the EU and US PlayStation Stores. Rather sensibly, the Level Pack has been renamed to Level Kit. Which makes perfect sense as it doesn’t actually contain any levels.
We’ve had a chance to look over the Festive Level Kit and we think it’s rather excellent. In fact, we’ve done a quick video review to run over the things and hopefully answer a few questions you might have.
So there you go. Materials, funky stickers, 2 costumes (plus the second part of the free santa costume this week), and some down right awesome Christmas decorations. All the new items are stored in your pop-it with the in-game story mode items. So your pop-it is not going to run out of space (that limit is just on ‘community items’).
It might only be one day a year, but this level kit sets the standard and paves the way for future kits, like the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 Level Kit.
Don’t forget, if you’re downloading the Festive Level Kit that update 1.06 is out now and it’s a 25Mb download, so get busy!
The PlayStation Blog have just confirmed this weeks DLC for LittleBigPlanet.
As revealed on the PlayStation Asia site last week, this weeks DLC is an explosive pack crammed with a new material, costumes, stickers, decorations and new objects! WOOt!
- Two new Costumes – Christmas Tree headpiece and a Wrapped Sackboy.
- One new Create Material = Wrapping Paper (cardboard w/ giftwrap texture).
- Two new Objects = A Festive Sleigh and holiday themed light.
- Six new Decorations = A Festive Bauble, Bell, Wrapping Bow, Candy Cane, Card and Stocking.
- A ton of new Stickers = holiday themed of course, including a Red Nose Reindeer, Elves, Turkey images and many more.
This is great news! Especially for all those excited little sackboys and sackgirls opening their LittleBigPlanet-shaped presents under their tree on Christmas day in just 9 days time.
The only thing that we’re perhaps a bit confused about is why on earth have they decided to call this a LittleBigPlanet “Level Pack”? When it contains no levels.
OK, granted - you’ll be using these fun new stickers, materials and objects in your levels, but we prefer the name of ‘Festive Goody Pack’ - the name they’ve gone for over on PlayStation Asia. - it’s not as confusing, ahem.
The LBP Festive Level Pack is available this Thursday on the PlayStation Store for $2.99, until January 8th.
