LittleBigPlanet to lack online create mode on release

September 22, 2008

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.”

Playstation Store Update (EU) 04-09-2008

September 5, 2008

Seems like when it comes to Playstation Store updates, the EU always gets the short stick! I’ve tried the PS3 Pure demo which is a hefty download at 1.6GB. Its pretty similar to Motorstorm but doesn’t seem have the same appeal.

PS3 PlayTV DRM free again

September 4, 2008

Its seems Sony have decided to allow you to copy recorded TV shows to any compatible MPEG-4 device. Which is a lot better than before where as it was limited to the PSP with DRM protection. The CVG review has plenty of screenshots of it in action, not sure about the interface myself.
