LittleBigPlanet is one of the biggest and most talked about games of 2008 among all consoles, the Sony Playstation 3 game may be the breaking point for the PS3 vs Xbox 360 debate.
For anyone that does not know much about LittleBigPlanet we have three videos below which give you a massive insight into the game, we have a community trailer, CES 2008: Demonstration and a Character Creation video below.
Many game sites are liking what they see when they review LittleBigPlanet, AMN Games said “Sony has accomplished the inconceivable: they have made their console appear attractive to me” and IGN said “While Sony has published some great games for their system like Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank, neither of those games really seem to have the staying power that LBP is poised to offer.”
LittleBigPlanet will not only be a game, but also a massive community and a way gamers can share their creations with friends, family and the world.
Although the Xbox 360 had a big start, it now looks like the Playstation 3 is turning heads its way.

LittleBigPlanet is amazing! If you like the same old shooters, 360 is for you. If you like games that are inovative and have endless possibly (With the capacity of Blu-ray), PS3 is for you. 08 is the year of the Playstation!
@Greg - The hype about all things PS3 makes me want to puke not LBP since I haven’t played it yet (and probably never will). Plus, about LBP and this level design HYPE: hey, it takes YEARS to make a great video game. I, for one, do not want to spend time playing all these cheesy little levels made up by people out there like you and me. How boring. And those of you out there still scared about the supposed RROD: I Got my 360 Feb 2006 and its been going strong ever since. All of my friends have 360s so we can team up on XBL. I enjoyed the Hell outta Bioshock, Mass Effect, Condemned, Halo 3, N3, FEAR Files, Overlord, Dead Rising and even Kameo and Bulletwitch, not to mention a slew of other games that were released on both PS3/360. 99% of all upcoming games are on my 360 so why would I want to buy a PS3? It just doesn’t add up. Why would anyone buy it? Just for what like 4 exclusive games? so nyahh.
Eh, I kind of found all the Mass Effect, BioShock, and Halo 3 hype a bit annoying, myself.
“NICE! We have MORE shooters! That’s, almost, NO variety whatsoever! ”
I mean, I don’t care, really. People will by excited about whatever they want.
As far as great games taking YEARS to make. That’s a full game. It involves coding, feature design, character design, modelling, bug testing, and many other things. These are going to be levels where you drag and drop things on screen to create puzzling challenges for anyone willing to try. It doesn’t really compare.
Why would you buy a PS3?
I enjoy the exclusives, along with the 3rd party.
PS3 home will offer all that Live does, and more.
Games in higher resolution and quality with HDMI.
Moves in higher resolution and quality with HDMI.
I can upgrade the harddrive to however large I want.With games using them more and more it’ll be nice to have, not to mention storing all the movies and music I want.
System doesn’t heat up as much as the 360, nor does Sony have to send back as many refurbished machines as the 360.
With a more powerful machine, and larger disc storage, the scope of potential is far greater than the 360’s.
The way I see it, the only thing the 360 has going for it is bigger install base because Microsoft decided to throw out a buggy machine a year early so they’d make more money with no competition, and set up good road for the future. Also, for some people, like myself, there is no reason to own two or three systems. So, I’m not going to buy a 360 just to have them put out a new one in a year or 2 (happened with Xbox, and they did the same thing with the Elite). Nor will I buy a 360 just for other systems to take off in a couple of years, and be convinced I need that one as well.
You can sit with your 360, and enjoy it. That’s fine. But, you know, you asked why anyone would buy a PS3. The reasons above are, pretty much, why.
u dumbass those are all shooters who gives a fuck about the xbox that only shoots for shooters. I myself like to play all types of games other then shooters.
Looks pretty cool to me……rather play a demo first before I buy the actual game though.
Then you are in the minority with all the other dozen or so people who bought platformers like Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Lair etc. Oh and by the way? Tomb Raider Anniversary was AWESOME on my 360. HA HA
how can u call halo 3 a great exclusive? a friend of mine has a 360 and i think it’s a good system but prefer ps3 (just my opinion) i played halo 3 on the 360 the other day (halo 1 and 2 i thought were quite good) and thought it was awful the graphics on halo 1 on an average pc were better! the guns are boring (it’s not like cod4 where it feels like you are firing a weapon, just like your pushing a button, it has no soul!) and don’t say im just being a fanboy because a minute later i played bioshock and thought it was AMAZING!
@Matt
It’s good you named those games, because they are amazingly fun. Also good how you named 4 great non FPS games compaired to your 1 Tomb Raider. Also, notice, of those 4 games, they’re all really different gameplay. Hm…
Well, anyway, I dont mind being in the minority. It offers more fun, variety, and creativity. *for me*.
So, as I said. You can sit with your 360, and enjoy the FPS. I am, 100%, fine with that. I’ll stick to the system that has great games of all genres.
I hate everything gaystation3, this game look like crap,Tr8^ sh1t plzzzzzzz keep playstation4 in japan/europe.
No offence, but I also don’t see the big deal in this type of game. Like someone else said above.. it’s like Donkey Kong. Yea it’s great and you can make your own characters, maps and games, but.. it’s like Donkey Kong!
I can see younger kids and girls liking this sort of thing with the cute little characters and everything, but some of you make it seem like this is ground breaking material. Give me a break!
Don’t get me wrong, I have both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 and unlike the fanboys, I think they are equally great systems. But is this the game that will push Sony to the top? Definitely not.
