    Little Big Planet's been out for quite some time now, and up to this point, they haven't released anything but costumes, except for the MGS level pack and the inclusion of the Paintinator.


    They should release more level and item packs, really. I'm not willing to pay cash just for costumes, and I think they're charging too much just for outfits that don't really add anything to the playing experience.


    Media Molecule did an awesome job on the game itself, but they seriously have under-delivered on the DLC department, IMO. : (

    @gurfinki: Haven't they over-delivered on the DLC though? Few games aside from Music-games gets this many updates.


    But I agree that they should release more. It's been out since November. They could've at least released the FFVII-costumes which were announced last year on E3 and were already done.

    Do we really need to pander to americans who thinks they day of independence is the fo' shizzle?

    How about celebrating the independence of people under an actually oppressive regime?

    I want my Mandela-Sackboy damnit.


    Euro-rage aside, I love this to pieces. The pieces of cardboard are pure genius. I wish to declare my love for Media Molecule again, but I think I might be overdoing it and maybe scare them away.

    Is it odd that a British developer is commemorating the American revolution against the British by recreating an iconic French gift for a Japanese console?


    Mabye Walt was right. It's a small world afterall.
