Big news earlier this week with the announcement of LittleBigPlanet 2! To celebrate the announcement, this week sees the arrival of the all new, and very colourful, LittleBigPlanet PlayGround space in PlayStation Home.
In true LittleBigPlanet fashion, this space offers plenty to play, create and share. Start with making a fashion statement with the range of LittleBigPlanet virtual clothing available in the Space, then take part in the King’s “Snap Happy” Photo Challenge. Find the target, get the perfect shot, and you can win some great virtual rewards. It doesn’t stop there: team up with your friends to create your own wallpapers for the PS3 XMB with the Creator mini-game!
And there’s more to come! In a few weeks you will be able to release your competitive side and show off your sharp-shooting skills in the LittleBigDerby. Check out the trailer below:
Finally, no LittleBigPlanet experience would be complete without the iconic Pod … which is why you’ll find the LittleBigPlanet Pod Penthouse in Estates this week! Crafted from the finest cardboard, this personal space can be rotated to get the best out-of-this-world view! But not only that, the Pod also includes your own personal Creator mini-game and comes complete with a special prize on entry. This truly is the perfect place to express your creative flair.
Away from LittleBigPlanet, we have a range of new clothing, costumes and other items. Starting with the latest batch of LucasArts releases, this week sees new Star Wars costumes and items arrive. This week features an extensive range of The Force Unleashed content, starting with a pair of Felucian Potted Plants (Mushrooms and Tripod). Add to your lightsaber collection with the Blue Lightsaber, then decorate your personal space with the Jedi Banner, The Force Unleashed Poster, and an Interactive Yoda Fountain. Three new costumes will also be available: the Apprentice Costume (Hair and bundle to follow soon), Dark Lord’s Armor, and finally Juno Eclipse’s Uniform, Hair, and Gloves (bundle to follow soon).
Next up are the Dead Space 2 Miner costumes, available for both male and female. Complete from head to toe, these protective suits will keep you safe as you roam through Home. The LocoRoco stores update again this week. Two new hats, a pair of glasses and a pair of earrings will all be available.
Finally, for those looking to deck their avatar out in a new shirt there is a range of new Bioshock t-shirts released this week.

Any chance of getting a mini sackboy for our apartments?
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:21 pm by Alex Weekes

Weekesy,
You have made me a very happy home user
The LittleBigPlanet content has almost brought a tear to my eye :’)
I hope you and the rest of the Home team will be celebrating in your local tonight
Oh… and have some free Jaffa Cakes… on me

Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:36 pm by Alex Weekes
Check the forums for more, however I can confirm that a new Home Square is being worked on and is nearly ready. It won’t release this month, though.

@ Phoenixfire90
A transformers event would be epic and I think you should buy both personal spaces!

Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:39 pm by Phoenixfire90
I’m glad someone’s backing me up on this on TF space!!!
Please Alex, please do it. *does the sad puppy eyes*
Well I’d buy both if the pod was £1.50 as Locoroco is £3.99, I’m trying to save for Tf War for Cybertron and Modnation Racers!!!
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:43 pm by Alex Weekes
The best I can do is pass along the suggestion – ultimately the decision lies with the Transformers IP owners.
23
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:39 pm by Mattiebo123
Can i ask who developed the LBP spaces? They look like they’ve been handled by Mm themselves!
24
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:40 pm by DANNY3194
Thanks for the response Alex, glad to hear its near (ish). I’m sorry but my very last question;
Anymore news on the Namco spaces?
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:43 pm by Alex Weekes
Nothing at the moment, I’m afraid.
25
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 5:43 pm by DANNY3194
“We have Irem content incoming, starting with the Irem Square. Not long now before you’ll be seeing Irem updates on the blog!”

Posted on 13 May, 2010 at 8:46 am by Alex Weekes
There’s something special to be won in the LBP PlayGround I think many of you will like

Question Regarding the Littlebigplanet personal space:
If I were to be invited to a friends pod, would I get the special gift upon entry, or is it only to the purchaser?
33
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 6:32 pm by MonkD13

Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 6:46 pm by Ackers11
So when will the Little Big Planet space go live or is it already live??

Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 6:49 pm by Sp4reNL
Next time use a movie that works with the PS3 browser…

“Crafted from the finest cardboard” LOL! ! ! ;D I NEED IT!
Looks cool LBP HOME Space.
What about a ‘R2-D2′ for my HOME Room? I would by that day one really.
37
Posted on 12 May, 2010 at 8:53 pm by xchris2008x
is the littleBigPlanet space permanent or will it disappear like the white knite chronicles space?
Posted on 13 May, 2010 at 8:53 am by Alex Weekes
It’s staying

This is all well and good, I love the look of the new LBP space.
But, there’s always a but. You should be adding things like phone calls that aren’t limited to two people and having to hold R2 to talk is a pain, can there not be an option?
Good update, sad that I wont be visiting Home because I can’t have a 3 player phone call.

Great update home team, really looking forward to getting into home after maintenance.

The space look Fantabulous!

Oh haha very funny Alex, I had just convinced myself i did the right thing in deleting Home and now you reveal this…. sigh… i’m just going to have to check it out..
44
Posted on 13 May, 2010 at 1:14 am by appie17
Ooh cant wait to get in

Posted on 13 May, 2010 at 7:11 am by Tydeus
Awesome news
It’s a shame about the Dark Lord’s armour though. It doesn’t look like any Force Unleashed armour I’ve ever seen! Also, how awesome would it be to have their game faces as a seperate purchase?
Oh and Alex whatsyourname, any chance of getting personal spaces to link? Like walk from one space to another and have friends still over at the other space? I’d love a rooftop space linking from the rooftop access in the Ghostbuster space. Maybe an InFamous one? and an increase of item storage in that house.. seriously!

Why isn’t the world cup 2010 space coming to Europe Home, I’m sure we’d appreciate more? Football after all was born in England.

On LBP Creator in Playstation Home, I save my wallpaper to my HDD (it’s always in a photo folder on my menu) but I can’t get the reward for saving it. My friend has been able to do it. Why can’t I get the reward after saving my wallpaper to my HDD?
