New on the PlayStation Store
Tomorrow is going to be and an epic day! The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack will be available on the PlayStation Store with tomorrow’s store refresh. The amazing downloadable pack includes tons of new gadgets and tools, giving you the power to CREATE awesome new levels for your Move controller (this eventually means tons of free user-generated “Move” games available to everyone for free). But most importantly, the Move Pack contains an epic new storyline titled “Rise of the Cakeling”
The LittleBigPlanet 2: Rise of the Cakeling Move Pack (add-on) will be available for €7.99 in Europe. Note – you must have LittleBigPlanet 2 to play.

Please can we have a playstation plus discount on the move pack i was all set with my £5 in my wallet to buy this tomorrow due to the most a level pack ever costing being £4.79. However this one is bound to cost about 5.99 according to your conversion. This is really annoying as we have never had any decent plus lbp related discounts so please try and get the plus discount!!
Cheers anyway

I agree with #1 – either a PS+ discount, or a discount for people who have Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves on their account, or something like that.
As much as it’s really great that MM went and did this post-release for LBP2, and I’m probably being ungrateful, we players have had to wait a long time for this, and €8 or £6.30 is about a third of what the actual game cost me, so a discount would be nice.

Good stuff. the Euro and US dollar usually have a 1:1 conversion, but the pack is $9.99 in America. Hopefully this means £6 or cheaper

@6 more like £5.05 or cheaper as that is all thats left in my wallet

This doesn’t make sense LBP 2 was advertised as Move compatible game (it even has the move logo on the case).
Why should we pay for something that should have been included in the first place I don’t see this a level creator thing but key functionality that was missing.
I bought Move recently its a excellent piece of Tech but games so far been a big disappointment expect a few.
I wont be buying this pack that’s for sure…
Posted on 14 September, 2011 at 8:16 pm by Neil McPhillips
You don’t have to pay for the Move compatibility, since the last patch the game is fully Move ready. Now you can pay for the new levels and tool if you want.

@14 its not that it is expensive its just that i am in an unfortunate situation since i will have to pay £10 for this as i have £5 in my wallet and need to add between 50p-£1 but the minimum i can add is £5
Thats all im saying. Anyway a plus discount would be great i’m sure you agree

15# Are you forgeting the Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves dlc that was included in the game?

@laticspieman use a credit card or get a job. It´s a great deal!
Is this package region locked?

I still feel tricked. I bought LBP2 for the move support, just to find out LBP2 wasn’t supporting move, but some LBP1 modification with 10 levels was the “move support”…
Don’t put a sticker on the LBP2 game, when IT DOES NOT SUPPORT MOVE.
Awesome that i have to pay for, what I was promised was included in the game.

To those people who complain about the relative paucity of Move functionality in LBP2, I suggest you download the FREE 1.06 update to the game. You will now find you can play the whole game with the Move controllers. Not that you’ll tell the difference.
It will be interesting to see if the Move pack works like the MGS and PotC packs – i.e. you get to play all the new levels that people create with the new tools without having to buy the new tools. If so, you may be in for a treat at no extra expense…

my favourite tool is water, whenever I’m making a level and a friend try’s it whilst I’m making it I secretly add loads of water! I would get this move DLC but my room is too small to use PSmove, was a waste of money really:(

Yay! My friend Psynten’s level is here
Posted on 14 September, 2011 at 8:17 pm by Neil McPhillips
Feel free to tell us about your levels too!

Seeing as the new Move pack is only 111kb in size, was it already on the disk or did it come down with the last patch do you think?
24
Posted on 14 September, 2011 at 12:16 am by andy08ps
Cant wait any longer
especially you guys keep showing it.
@ frodouk It came with the last patch (1.06-568MB) like most dlc do.

£7.99 for a stupid add on WHAT IF PPL INT GOT THE STUPID M OVE they cant use the new music stuff
Well done sony you have conned us ppl who dont use move AGAIN

@ QuietlyWrong
Sure, lets compulsorarily dl’ patch 1.06 which takes up an expensive 568mbs of hdd, then try and load up the “improved” game only for it to freeze right on the very screen that tells one NOT to turn the ps3 off when the hdd symbol is showing, then wait, then switch it off anyway.
On reboot stab at the prompted yes option to report/upload to nobody at Sony that is going to do anything about the ps3 failing to start game/switch off. Stir and repeat, ad infinitum, if you are relying on any in-screen msg on the xmb telling you to restart the game using another profile, alas Sony stays characteristically stumm about the freeze, you will need to search the web willy-nilly untill you happen upon this solution yourself. The game will not freeze if you use another profile to load it up with. INVITE the freezing profile sackthing to this reloaded game using a second controller. Now stop the game & go back to the original freeze profile and the game will now load up sans freeze up. This msg was not brought to you by Sony nor by Bethesda.

#25 – the other stuff was FREE in the last patch I think… If you haven’t got Move then why would you look at DLC that is aimed at Move?
You is confusing me
28
Posted on 14 September, 2011 at 5:53 am by Pro_espace72
Wow, that price is a lot for a free pack.. It supposed to be free. right?
Well, it’s good to quit playing LBP2 now.
29
Posted on 14 September, 2011 at 10:52 am by frodouk
It was never said to be free. The latest patch that enables Move controls in the core game was always free.
Your loss.

Will there be Plus discount? I’m getting it regardless but it would be nice.

look I’m sorry for being right off topic, but the US has had its Weekly Store update now for what 12 hours already?. It’s 23:36 here in NZ and I just think we should all get same games AT THE SAME TIME. I’m tired and want to crash out, but I would like to make my purchases before I go to bed so I can dl them whilst I sleep(most of NZ’s internet street lines are still on ADSL1, even tho i pay top $ for the best net you can get here and have ADSL2+ modem. Dl’s take forever). It will be 0300 tom. morn by the time they start appearing in store. I have NO idea if From Dust is being released in SCEE, nor do I know if plus members are getting 20% off which would mean I can afford it(the game will no doubt cost nearly twice the amount the US charges, if we even get it this year), as we have no store update announcement list yet. I just want to see some parity in game store timed releases not to mention Home’s, fairer prices and a more decent update hour.

Not really a big fan of LBP, but I did get a chimera sackboy keyring for pre ordering resistance 3 last week, thankyou for making that happen.

Excellent stuff. LBP2 continues to be the most inventive and unique game on any machine of recent times.

When ever I try the move tutorial it asks you to press down and move together, when I do this I get a pause symbol and the game freezes, when I try to skip the tutorial it says you can only go so far with a navigation controller even though the move controller is connected. Any way of fixing this or getting a refund as 8 euro for a dlc that won’t work is a bit of a rip
