Well, what a disappointment! The LittleBigPlanet create mode which allows up to four users to create at the same time will only be available in off-line mode, with the online version becoming available via a patch sometime in the future.
I’ve already had a chance to play the game at the LittleBigPlanet store in Manchester UK, which only made me want it more!!! can’t wait for the release!!!!

The ability to create with your friends online will come as part of the first major update after the game is released,” Sam wrote. “Offline creating with up to 4 people on one PlayStation 3 however is available right from the get go.”
