A recent post on the playstation.blog details the first DLC that will be available for LittleBigPlanet. You’ll be able to get some sweet looking duds for yourself at a variety of price points.

Starting next week, we’ll get the much anticipated “first week” Space Man costume for free, along with a very cool Halloween costume.

In addition, to apologize for the less than stellar server status the first week, they will be giving out more free DLC over the next few weeks.

If you still can’t get enough, there will be costumes to buy, like these two cool Gecko and Gorilla outfits for $.99, and “premium” costumes like Solid Snake for $1.99. In addition, there will be packs, where you can save a bit of dough on multiple costumes.

Cool stuff indeed.

You may have been experiencing trouble playing online or playing on published levels. The servers were down for awhile, and back up to be hammered again. Even if there are online issues (like every major game release), I’m loving every minute.

Take this as an opportunity to unlock as many items from story mode as possible or create that level you’ve been dreaming up. At least we have official word that they are working around the clock and “expect it to improve shortly” and we can rest assured that the community is still at work getting ready to publish all kinds of great levels.

Still no word on the spacesack and week one t-shirt, but we’ll keep you posted. At least you can stare at it and drool for now.

If you want to do custom artwork for your levels in LBP, you’ll need an Eye camera… and today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is just that. The Playstation3 Eye for $22.98! You can’t beat that with a stick!

UPDATE: Sad news… Amazon has sold out. Hope you got while the getting was good.

The multi-player servers just went up, so hot dog, leave work early / call in sick and play play play!!

Although LittleBigPlanet doesn’t “officially” come out until today, guess what! You are going to get a second one!  In a BBC News article on game development in the UK, some awesome news:

Even before the game has hit the shops, the team are already at work on a sequel.

I don’t know about you, but I’m rather excited.

The first tutorials are showing up in our Tutorial Forum for you to gander at. Go check them out, or even better, make your own!

For anyone who managed to get a pre-recall copy, a 54M patch updating LittleBigPlanet came out late last night which brings the game to version 1.02 and removes the lyrics from the song that may have offended some. As of now, their multiplayer servers are still not up, but I suspect that will happen tomorrow.

I’ve heard from a reliable source that they have simply removed the “questionable” lyrics, and kept the awesome song in the game.

Glad that’s cleared up. Now I can spend my time brainstorming my first few level designs… because I’m still at work.

Toumani Diabate, sent info to MTV multiplayer about his “controversial” track.

“They note the complication that there is no explicit rule in Islam prohibiting a song like Diabate’s.”

Delayed for no explicit reason?! I’m not sure this is very comforting. At least he explains his reasoning behind the song I will never hear in game, and that is something all the news about its removal has left out.

Today was the day we were supposed to be playing LittleBigPlanet, but instead, we must wait. And that is OK, because a little more anticipation will make popping the disk into the PS3 the first time all the sweeter.

That said, one of us lucky guys here at LBPBuilder had their pre-order ship before the recall and it arrived on time. Expect a mini-review soon, but the sort version is: Better than you dreamed it would be.
