Gametrailers has posted a video interview with a Marketing person from Sony about two of the new features of LittleBigPlanet 2, the grabbling hook and bounce pads. There is no new information in the interview, but heyho. The level shown is the same as always, Tower of Whoop.
MediaMolecule has confirmed via Twitter that LittleBigPlanet 2 will be at this years Eurogamer Expo in London and you will also be able to meet some Molecules.
Confirmed, LBP2 will be at the @eurogamer_expo in London this October, and so will we. Which day? Probably all of them More details soon.
If you want to attend the event d you can buy tickets here. The tickets cost £8. The Expo starts on Friday the 1st October and ends on Sunday the 3rd.
The people who went last year had a lot of fun by the looks of it and even got some goodies.
Of course there LBP 2 isn't the only game at Expo, so if you life near London and want to try some great games before they are released you might want to consider going there.
The Cool Level Pages of LittleBigPlanet have apparently been fixed according to this post by Spaff_Molecule on LittleBigWorkshop:
We've changed a couple of things here and there, and the Sony Moderation teams have, i believe, had words with the offending players, or will be doing so if they haven't already.
Word of warning - don't try and do what they did, because it will be considered cheating by Sony, and you risk losing your PSN account!
now let normal service continue for a bit eh?
Lets hope they stay that way for a while and give more people a chance to get some plays.
Finally we have an official release date for LittleBigPlanet 2. It's November the 16th in the States! There is no release date yet for Europe or anywhere else.
Of course there are some pre-order goodies. (Are there any games that get released without those, these days?)
Anyway here is what you can get at different retailers. With ever pre-order you get these four animal costumes. T
Great, aren't they?
Now to the retailer specific content. From Amazon you can get Ratchet and Clank costumes.

AceCreator, community person from Sony/Cambridge said on LBPC that more LittleBigPlanet PSP DLC is in the pipeline. Yay! What can you expect? Well, how about some Wild West shenanigans, or some stealing from the rich, giving to the poor with Robin Hood? Or you could meet Kind Arthur and redesign his round table. Sounds great, doesn't it? "When is it out?", "What does it include?", I hear you ask, but sadly there are no answers to those question at this point.
If you rather see some more updates, bugs being fixed and such you are out of luck, because right now there are no plans. That probably doesn't stop you from enjoying the game though, does it?
Here is the quote:
Anyway, to business: updates. We are not currently planning to do any further updates, but there is plenty more bonus content on the way, with themes such as Robin Hood, Wild West, King Arthur... I've said too much.
Not much this week. You can get the second Marvel Costume Kit for LBP PS3 for £4.79 / €5.99 / US $5.99 or buy just the costume you want for £1.59 / €1.99 / US $1.99. SpiderSack is very cute.
For LittleBigPlanet PSP there is the Fruit Salad Pack. It costs £2.39 / €2.99 / $2.99. If you feel like dressing up as a banana this is the pack you should buy. Some say bananas don't grow on trees; all we know is they taste good.
