Hates candles too

New PS3 commercial:

Amusingly,the boyfriend in the background is clearly playing LittleBigPlanet.  Which makes it even more unbelievable that he hasn’t hooked it up to the internet yet,right?  But maybe he scored a pre-recall version of LBP,and is enjoying the vocal track on “Tapha Niang”.  Consider that,Mr. What’s-wrong-with-him!

European Unity

Franco-American fans like myself have noticed some similarity between a set of LBP ads being shown in France and those in the UK:

Very small advert update –$260?

If you’re eager for more pics of the little billboards,look no further.  One of PS3Center’s users,Sky_Skyler,found one.  There’re some good details in a thread on Rotten Tomatoes:

If you look to the left of the pole,you can see the little tiny ladder they’ve attached to it;[...] I’d say it’s about [...]

It seems that EGM/1UP’s Shane Bettenhausen (with help from David Ellis) has been making good use of an early build of LittleBigPlanet.  October’s Electronic Gaming Monthly has a nice article giving us some tips from their first level-building attempt.

A little viral marketing?

Another quick just-the-video blog post,I’m afraid:
