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.
