Ho Ho Ho! LBP is giving the love for the end of the year. The new DLC has all kinds of cool additional comment. Watch the video and see some of it in action. Besides the 4 sackboy’s for the price of 3, if you get the bundle you also get a ton of other presents. Here’s the list as they give it:
A 5th Sackboy costume…the Gurlokovich Soldier (see above).
72 New Stickers
12 New Materials
10 New Decorations
18 New objects
New background music track
3 new interactive music tracks
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
and best of all…..THE PAINTINATOR and Paint Switch

As if that wasn’t enough to stuff your sack stockings, the 1.07 patch has gone live.
This patch has everything you could want. From the official patch notes:
Play
New Search Modes: More ways to find interesting levels like Most Hearted, Highest Rated and Busiest!
In-game Store: Browse, buy and play downloadable content, such as the soon-to-be-released Metal Gear Solid packs, without needing to go to the Playstation Store

Share
Keyboard text chat: Plug a standard USB keyboard into your PS3 and just start typing. Or, press Tab on your keyboard to go straight to the standard PS3 text entry screen.
Image export: save the photos you take in game to your hard drive.
General fixes, polishing and improvements, including:
Fixed “Wheel of death” bug where Sackboy could get stuck endlessly respawning out of a checkpoint
Better support for third party controllers
Fixed stretch Sackboy arms
General server improvements and optimization
Improved the corner (vertex) editing tool
Improvements to how Popit deals with complex shapes
Improved Sackboy animation and made it harder to slap accidentally while acting
Fixed lights so they don’t forget their colour
Improved Online multiplayer level selection

I’m extremely excited for the paintinator, better searches, IMAGE EXPORT to the hard drive, and reduced accidental slapping. I love to dance so much, I’m always slapping at the wrong time! Maybe the in-game store will save me some time, though I’m getting a little bothered by the way they try and make the extra dollars with some of the lesser content (LOCOROCO costumes, I’m looking at you).
Note: 1.07 is titled Roqueforte and is 67mb.

Here is a video showboating the new in-game store.

All kinds of costumey stuff. LBP is getting nonstop attention and content and that makes me happy. I wonder when they’ll be adding new functionality or parts rather than pretty costumes.

Let’s see… there are crowns for people who won LittleBigChallenge that coincided with PS3’s second birthday.

Since LocoRoco 2 is just over the horizon, we’ve been gifted sacostumes with a loco theme. Personally, I think a few of these seem a little creepy (I think it’s the clown-like lip coloring), but I’d still love to slap sack around using those little guys on the wrists. As usual these things are bundled at 2.99 for all 5.

And finally we all know you’ve been addicted and madly in love with your TV since LBP came out, so what better way to show your appreciation than wearing the free TV costume part. This was actually a winner of an LBChallenge made for everyone.

LittleBigPlanet style.

Some cool animal costumes come separate or in a bundle. One of these was a winner of a costume design contest. There’s also some motorstorm stuff. But wait! That’s not all!
They say more will be coming next week, so keep checking back here!
