Well,the handheld release we’ve all been waiting for is nearly upon us. And also,LittleBigPlanet PSP is coming out! The joy of playing with Sackboy and creating levels on those long train rides is finally within our grasp. Of course,no LBP release is complete without a little controversy. The lack of multiplayer [...] Looking for LittleBigPlanet before the new version ships to your area? Some retailers aren’t paying much attention to the recall.

Since it was recalled before the street date,could the retailer be in breach [...] First,without commenting directly on the recent unpleasantness,I’d like to give some words of encouragement to our friends at Sony and Media Molecule.
