'Is this a joke? There is nothing collectible about this.

Where is the plushie sackboy? Where is the “game ends”? Where are the PSN avatars? Why are we getting shafted again here in EU.'

I normally hate the blog comments but I completely agree with this one.

Lucreto4909d ago

We get the avatars but only half of the costume packs the other half is pre-order bonus's from different retailers. So Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank will be at different retailers.

Red_Orange_Juice4909d ago (Edited 4909d ago )

sorry to say but this is garbage, just look at US editions, we get scr**ed by SCEE again, where's the sackboy, where's the book end, best ever CE is US only.

Plus US CE has Ratchet & Clank, Jack & Daxter costumes, in Europe they're added to different retailers to pre-orders, so you can't get them all (without paying extra), what a bunch of F___ !!!!!!!11

fooltheman4909d ago

yeah, but do you think they do this on purpose?

Shadow Flare4909d ago

That does suck but technically couldn't we just order the US collectors edition anyway? PS3 games are region free after all. Maybe the case might be larger and increase the shipping cost though. This does suck though. And Media Molecule themselves are English, so why are we getting shafted?

Red_Orange_Juice4909d ago (Edited 4909d ago )

well it wasn't an accident right? they were aware of US edition and how much less they're giving to us, so pretty much technically it was on purpose

fooltheman4909d ago

Most of the time us and eu work independently..
they need to work together for such things

Yi-Long4909d ago

... and again and again and again.

And importing isn't really an option, simply because you run a big risk of having to pay extra taxes when you import it, plus an extra cost to the post-office, and that's even without considering that the DLC might be region-locked...

It's just absolutely fucking ridiculous how Sony keeps mistreating their european customers like this.

Not that I'm surprised btw. I already called this a long time ago. I just knew that we, once again, would get shafted big time.

vhero4909d ago

EU got gimped.. It's funny though the Americans will still claim EU get everything off Sony though..

Yi-Long4909d ago (Edited 4909d ago )

... and for what? Why is it so fucking hard to just give us in Europe the exact same Collector's Edition as they get elsewhere!?

Fucking SCEE... always screwing us over. Activision and Bobby are getting stiff competition from SCEE in their war against loyal customers...

SuperM4909d ago

to be fair, they did say that the collectors edition would have more content that would differ from country to country, so we still dont know all the content that will be in the package

Davoh4909d ago

If they were planning on keeping any extra content as a surprise they should really start considering letting the cat out the bag as right now there's a lot of angry and disappointed fans.

NewsForSnowflakes4909d ago

MediamMolecule are a UK based studio too. Why are they giving the 2 fingered salut to us Brits? They need to sort this out ASAP!

DigitalAnalog4909d ago

Especially if the developer is from the UK. This barely classifies as a "special" edition let alone "collecting".

Oh well, at least I pre-ordered the superior US version.

-End statement

NewsForSnowflakes4909d ago

I've created a Facebook group to get Media Molecule to see the error of their ways. Although I doubt it will work.

Feel feel to join anyway. That includes you too, US gamers. After all, we did give you a hand in WW2 =P

the group is called:

'Get the US Collector's Editon of LittleBigPlanet 2 released in the UK'

If you can think of a more catchy name I will change it =P

Nate-Dog4909d ago

Why did MM announce the other version such a long time ago, take it down from the likes of Amazon and then re-announce this garbage? Big, big disappointment MM, BIG.

Lucreto4909d ago

It is gimped no doubt about it.

Not even half of the content the US got.

I wouldn't be as annoyed if it was a US company who made the game as it would be expected to get less content but a UK company shunning Europe I expected more from them.

sarshelyam4909d ago

I'm a bit surprised. It's usually us in the states that are whining about the killer CE's Europe gets, but now we win in a CE bargain? I feel bad for those folks across the pond, but that's the beauty of PS3...just import ours ladies and gents.

DigitalRaptor4909d ago

Not as easy as that. DLC might be region specific.

Rayz3d6yW0lves4909d ago

shafting a large chunk of their fanbase?
Ive never understood why these gaming companies do that, why not release the same content worldwide? I'm looking at you xbox live and psn+

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

RedDevils719d ago (Edited 719d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic719d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72948d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12948d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02948d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.

Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.

Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.

MadLad948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23948d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

Profchaos948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.
