If you pre-order LBP for the PSP you will get 6 exclusive sackboy costumes as shown above.  No word yet on what the bonus content for PSP Go users will be.

The Magic Carpet by AntonioLadrillo is an excellent jump, grab, swing platformer.  Here are a few in game shots:

This level has a wide variety of obsticles that make this a super fun level to play.  Go play this entertaining and challenging level.

Media Molecule will be releasing a new music pack this Thursday containing three new music tracks:  Well Trained’ is a blues number, ‘Wise Owl’ is an ambient electronic type t’ing and ‘Tea By The Sea’ by Mat Clark at Sonica Studios.  The tracks are interactive so you will be able to tweak them to make some different mixes of the songs.  It'll be nice to finally get some new music to listen to while running around levels.

Here's what went down this week in the world of LBP:

The box cover for the North American version of LBP PSP has been revealed.  I believe the release date still stands firm as November 17th.   I hope we get some news on pre-order specials soon.  I have been holding off on getting a PSP Go because I am waiting to see if they are going to have a special edition one bundled with LBP.

If you live in the UK or Ireland you can enter a contest at NowGamer to win a PS3 custom designed by the outstanding folks at Media Molecule.  Makes me wish I lived in the UK, I'd love to have a chance to get my hands on this.

With the newest version of Playstation Home released this week.  You can now launch games like LBP while in Home.   While interesting, it still has not motivated me to download home.  There just aren't enough LBP related things in Home to make it worth my while.

Sam_Protagonist posted the following interesting message at the PS UK forums about the disabled Play Create Share score counter for LBP.

Back to the Play Create Share scores and there's more to report even though they're still not live.

The data that seeds these scores is being tracked in the backgroud (and has been for quite some time) however Mm aren't yet happy with the way the final display score is calculated and are working on a system that would prevent it being frustrating to players. Essentially, what you would be doing to earn scores here after they're "switched on" you're already earning but until this works as intended the display side of scoring is remaining switched off.

It's nice to know that even if the scores aren't showing it's still keeping track of our progress in the game behind the scenes.  Hopefully they'll get this feature up and running some day.

VooDoo by biddle666 is a beautifully designed level very reminiscent of the the story mode levels.  The game is a near perfect blend of challenge and fun level play.  This level reminds me a lot of the style of jackofcourse, but it is not a copycat level. biddle666 brings his own unique flair to this level which makes for highly entertaining game play.  This is a great level, go play it.

New DLC coming up this Thursday:

And a brief video:

Seems like an odd and untimely choice for dlc seeing as the movie is long gone from theaters.  It is a nice looking set tho.  I'm not a big Watchmen fan, but I'll probably pick this up because its got some nice pieces in it for costuming. 

For a limited time Sony Pictures Family is giving away a code for a free Norse Mythology pack.  So if you haven't got this pack head on over and grab your code.

It has also been rummored that we may be getting Uncharted dlc to coincide with upcoming release of Uncharted 2.  We should be getting info on upcoming DLC on Monday from MM's blog.  Will post info when it becomes available.

And coming up for LBP, Spaff_Molecule over at the LBP Workshop posted the following teaser message:

Please don't feel neglected! It's been a little bit quiet recently but for good reason - we're planning and making other things for you that you will all enjoy, and some projects have stolen our attention!

Here are some facts that might help though:

Next week there's some DLC, yay!

The original music pack is on it's way soon

Leerdammer is absolutely packed with fixes and tweaks and new things that will make life easier and more enjoyable. More on that in coming weeks, it must be the biggest update to the game so far.

We've been laying out plans for some cool events, contests, and all sorts of stuff to happen over coming months - we have a plan, and we're putting it into action. You're not forgotten, you'll see!

Looks like a lot of great stuff to look forward to. Yay!

Sony will be releasing a motion control wand next year.  Here is a preview video of how it will work in LBP:

It does bring an interesting new element to the game play for LBP, but I really wonder how much fun it's  going to be for the person with the wand?  Seems like it might be a little boring for them.  I guess we'll just have to wait until more info and videos are released for the motion control wand to see if it's really going to be any fun or not.

Down in the Canyon (Version 1.1) by TonyTwoGunz is a beautifully designed level that expertly captures the flavor and feel of the Canyon levels from story mode.  Here are a few screen shots:

There are a wide variety of obsticles that keep this level fun and interesting.  If you are looking for a fun challenge, then check out this amazing level.

New costume I made today.  You can make your own Ben 10 costume at Ben 10 Alien Force costumes by ethancoates.

Not a whole lot going on in the world of LBP planet right now.  We are supposed to be getting a new costume pack soon, hopefully they'll be releaseing info about it next week.

Today I am doing a list of ten of my favorite levels.  These are not my top 10 favorite levels, but a list of really great levels that have outstanding game play that every sack should try out.

In no particular order here is my list:

It was really hard to limit my picks to just ten levels as there are sooooo many great levels out there so I will probably do another favorite 10 list in the future.  If you haven't checked out these levels, go play them.  They are some of the best of the best levels out there IMO.

We've had an official announcement that the LBP Water Beta should be starting up within the next few days.  Good luck to all the creators who signed up for it. 

A couple of French kids have leaked a video containing online create and water beta footage. It can be viewed at Dailymotion.  SPOILER WARNING!!!   If you do want to be spoiled for what online create and water will look like DON'T CLICK THE LINK!.

Phosphorescence by eustoma is a great level for people who enjoy challenges.  Here is a video of the level:

This level has a lot of hard paintanator and jet pack challenges in it.  If you are looking for a level to really test your skills then this is definitly the level for you. 

Here's my new pod for the week.  I did a duck pond design with my sack girl dressed up as a ducky too. Quack! Quack!

I want to add another note about the codes for the ModNation beta.  I have read an unconfirmed report that the beta won't be starting up till December so the codes from the LBP GOTY probably won't work till then.  If you have not picked up the GOTY edition you might still have a chance to get in on the beta if you sign up for the e-mail list at the ModNation Racers site.

The long awaited demo for LBP will be hitting the Playstation store today.  Here are the specs:

Brand new intro level with new stickers

Three story levels for that kingdom

New introduction video

Access to two community levels

Also includes a few creator tools for experimenting

File size: 1017 mb

I'll be downloading this tonight when the store updates just for fun to see how it all looks.

I also want to add that if you have bought the GOTY edition and are finding that the ModNation code is not working it is because the beta has not gone live yet so your code won't work until the beta is fully up and running.
