I've been looking forward to LBP PSP, but I'm think I'm going to have to wait. It's coming out the same week as God of War Collections, Assassin's Creed II & Bloodlines, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles. If that wasn't busy enough, hitting 2 weeks before are Jak and Daxter, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and the new Star Wars Battlefront and the week after those we have Rome seasons 1 & 2 come out on Blu-ray along with Up and Monsters Inc.

The Christmas season is unusually slow for me this year, except that 2 week period in November. Where way too much crap I want comes out and between trying to stay on a budget and not needing to buy everything I want right away leads to way too many things getting pushed aside.

@Whizkid103: I think it's been announced that it will. I'm not sure in what way though. Hopefully,it's level conversion.

I'm looking forward to this. Good to know I can pen in a date on my calender. I hope there's plenty of content in it for creating levels.

I hven't been keeping up with PSP news lately, is there any reason for someone who already owns LBP on PS3 to get this? New features? Or is this an all new game (levels, objects and all)?

For a doll based on a doll, that's a pretty crappy doll.

Unless I don't know what "Bento" is.

Not to nitpick but shouldn't it be Link Bento? Seeing as it's Link. Then again, it is a Zelda game so you're right Owen.

How's the job hunt coming along by the way?

You know every time I see some kind of Japanese food , it's always something weird or bento boxes. How does any one not starve over there? And such small portions.

It looks pretty but can you really call it a meal? More like a neat snack.

* and what the heck is a "fake sausage"?

I've always wondered - you know those crab sticks that are in rolls? Is that real crab somehow pressed into a fleshy stick or just fake crab meat?

@Netnavi: The portions are actually proper size. Americans are used to eating two to three times the normal portions of food, which is why obesity is such a big thing there.

You know what all those weight loss centers teach people? Portion control. Ever wondered why Asians and Europeans are so thin? They already know portion control.

@Hahaue:

Hmm, I dunno. I'm Canadian. I'm thin, and have always been very thin. I don't have to each very much to get full.

But when I eat a bento and it leaves my stomach growling like CRAZY and I NEED to eat something more, I wouldn't really call that a normal portion of food. I've been in Tokyo two years, still not used to it. I always gotta buy an extra snack.

It's like bento sizes don't change at all from your childhood. I know, I work at public elementary schools. :(

I had to think a lot to write this comment. Seriously, my English is just getting worse and worse :( I speak mostly Japanese 5 days out of the week...

@landonkun: Yeah, when I lived in Japan, I was constantly starving. I would always have to get some extra onigiri, mushipan, or something after meals to supplement the scant calories.

I'm only 125, but I dropped to like 115 lbs when I was there and felt overly thin. Definitely it was either a case of too much metabolism or too little food.

And don't even get me started on how embarrassing it was to go for thirds when the Jp menfolk were content with seconds. Sigh!
