LittleBigPlanet PS3 bundle gets date

By Robert Purchese Published 13 October, 2008

Late October for console plus game.

Sony has told Eurogamer that a LittleBigPlanet PS3 bundle will arrive here on 31st October.

The cost: GBP 299.99. The contents: a copy of LittleBigPlanet and an 80GB PS3.

LittleBigPlanet will be released a week earlier on 24th October, and is also one of the headline acts at the Eurogamer Expo on 28th and 29th October in London.

Sony has stacked its chips on the cutesy platform-cum-toolset-cum-community game as a Christmas PS3 system seller, and, luckily, the goods have matched the hype.

Head over to our freshly-minted LittleBigPlanet review to find out why.

    Should be released on day of release.

    I had to get my PS3 now to play LBP on day of release.

    "Goods have matched the hype"?

    Oh really? About 2/3 of the comments in your review say otherwise....

    Everyone knows that EG are biased against PS3 and 360, they are in the pay of the see-saw manufacturers and the roller skates lobby

  • bad09 #4 4 years ago

    Can we have a feature on how many more news stories can EG squeeze out of LBP in the month of October? ;)

    I don't think even GTA or MGS4 got this kind of exposure.

    Sheesh, you don't actually pay attention to comments do you? :)

    Besides 2/3 of the comments in the review were along the lines of "OMG I've never played this and I'm not buying this shit" or some continuation of the pathetic format war. Very little had anything to do with the actual game.

    it's still not enough to tempt me to get a PS3.

    How is this a system seller, oh you mean because it comes free with the console. Thats the only way this game will shift console's, because it's being given away for free, Sony are the best, at talking shit.

  • Widge #9 4 years ago

    lol! Negotiator wrestles with concept of "system seller" there!

  • Dizzy #10 4 years ago

    A bit weird to give your potential XMas killer seller away with a console no? Wouldn't it be better to sell the game separately for extra profit?

  • Doctor_What #11 4 years ago

    Yes, because Wii Sports proved that a system seller shouldn't be packed with the console.

    Oh, wait...

    "Yes, because Wii Sports proved that a system seller shouldn't be packed with the console. "

    That is barely a game and a launch product as well. The Wii needed something to show off waggle.

    Sold!
