Since when has Sony released their console owned IP on the PC?

They dont, unless maybe when developed by SOE (The Agency for example). Lets forget that Sony and MM have stated on several occasions it's PS3 exclusive, let's all believe this one single anonymous image.

Yay for the internet morals.

1.2 - Sony has released PC games before.
Sony Online Entertainment was a separate division of Sony until recently. They are responsible for the Everquest series.

Just look it up: http://www.station.sony.com...

So what? The PC platform is neutral. Microsoft has allowed Gears of War to be released on PC. I don't see an article about how Microsoft is screwed. I am flabbergasted at your "console owned" remark. The PS3 isn't a company, it cannot "own" anything. The PS3 is nothing more than a machine in which Sony executes its IPs on.

Seriously this article and the person who submitted it should be banned form the internet :)

1.3 - I highly doubt Sony would release one of their biggest titles on the PC
Then have it pirated and hacked to death.

1.5 - It doesn't take a genius...
The logos at the bottom of the sleeve aren't equally distant from each other.

The sleeve insert doesn't even reach the edge of the box.

The only question here, my friends, is this; inkjet, or colour laser?

I actually think this would be ok but probably not gonna happen, but if it does I hope that PS3's can download levels that PC guys made and visa-versa. LBC will be my game of the year.

1.11 - PC not neutral
If the game runs on a Windows OS, it is not neutral and it is a win for MS. This is why PC/XBOX360 games are many. It matters not really to MS. The royalties may be slightly higher on the xbox 360 though.

I find it hard to believe LBP will make it to PC. There is no way Sony would let this go to PC....but who would have though Square would go xbox crazy?

Notice how that blog post from Kotaku does not have a title? What's up with that? First time I've ever seen one like that.

No one said sony was screwed, nor did the article. Yet I remember so many posts on Gears` topics saying "meh! that´s not an exclusive, I`ll buy it on PC when it released" and the plethora of similar comments and the flame about wether it count as an exclusive or not.

I couldn´t care less if any game for any console I own was going to PC also, for what that matters. But don´t go saying sony is being attacked for this (not at least on the second comment when nothing has been said).

Kotaku is trash. Do you really believe a display cover would look like that I dont think so. I could have done better in paint.

Ya, I wasn't gonna buy a PC, but than I heard LBP was on it and so I am. And MS will get my money from my copy of Windows that came with my PC.
What a stretch!

1.16 - That's a fake
1.- look at the LBP"logo" that's not the official one.
2.- they got the old Sony E logo
3.- LBP uses the PSN and there is no PSN logo on it
4.- it say "PC DVDrom" and LBP comes in a BD
5.- LBP is used online and there is no Online logo
6.- Is Kotaku, one of the most furious M$ lovers

most important...... LBP is published by Sony of Europe, and there is no SoE logo

This game is a system seller and one of the candidates for game of the year, so Sony better not put this on PC.

1.22 - It's sad to see that...
Some Xbox or PC fanboy went to all the trouble to make this crap up and the it's even worse that Kotaku puts it up on their website for more hits. A desperate attempt to start flames by a fanboy then fueled by the ever diminishing journalism of Kotaku... Sad folks, really sad.

OMG are you kidding me? How often does this site say anything at all positive about Sony? This is like the 3rd article I read this week with them mentioning LBP and it's never good. Now they are talking about the possibility of it ending up on another format?

Why would they want that? Would they then jump on the LBP bandwagon?

This site is filled with so much venom towards anything Sony.
Maybe Bruce on Games should apply for a job with kotaku. He would be a perfect fit.

Why is everyone hating on Kotaku? I go their all the time, and I don't really see a huge bias. This article is obviously not a good example of their journalistic integrity, but they usually just present the news fast with a bit of humor.

Either way, this article is obviously BS. I'm not sure why they wrote it up at all since that isn't the official cover art, and it could have easily been photoshopped in like 2 minutes. Also, its really not interesting since it was most likely a mix up by the store, if it is in fact real.

I'm sensitive to Sony hate on websites, and I go to Kotaku all the time. They're pretty even with their hate from what I've seen, and I go there everyday.

2.6 - @2.3 and 2.4
Yeah when I use to visit Kotaku I didn't see a heavy bias against any console. They just pretty much hate on everything equally. But their "make fun of everything because we are cool attitude" wore thin on me. Its much easier to break something then it is to build it. And all they do it break games, systems and people down... They are becoming the tabloid trash of the video game industry.

2.7 - Microsoft Advertises with Gawker Media
Wake up people! They are being paid by MS to advertise MS products. They are not journalist, there is no journalistic integrity whatsoever, the guys that write for that site do not even play the games that they talk about. They are a tool for Microsoft to use in this blog fueled web "2.0" guerilla marketing ploy.

Its funny how they willingly call 360 games that show up on the PC as 360 exclusives but not with the PS3!

On topic: Not gonna happen. Since when does sony publish their PS3 IP's on PC?

Mass Effect and Gears of War 1&2 aren't 360 exclusives either (and possibly Halo 3).

If Kotaku is going that road why not make an article about how Mass Effect and Gears of War are not exclusive? Bukaku really needs to stop their PS3 hate trend. I wouldn't be surprise if they made the PC mockup.

11 - Ummm,
Unverified source/hoax again. Well,rumour debunk will be coming soon since many journalists from other sites check out N4G and will probably investigate.

Maybe in a few hours?

Also,why don't the display boxes not match the original box art?

I also think Zerodin wants to play this game badly,ergo the need for him/her to post this news before other contributors.

12 - I hope it does come to PC
I think the hardcore level building side of the game would be much better suited to a PC.

It would definitely be better to play the levels on the PS3 with a big TV, couch, surround sound speakers and local coop etc, but I would love to be able to run into the other room just to tweak certain stuff with my computer.

I could see it happening too. Isn't The Agency going to be released PC/PS3 aswell?
