My head is not the size of a pea as you may think, nor is it the size of a pumpkin even though I also downloaded the Hallowe’en mask costume too.

I purchased the additional “LittleBigPlanet” items to support the development team whom I believe have produced a very high quality game that spans generations of past (and future) gaming genres and will appeal to generations of potential gaming fans alike.

In fact, I’ll start calling it “The Generations Game”.

Didn’t they do well?

Now if you HAD to sell something that should be a free reward for loyal customers, then maybe you should have thought about pricing it at… umm… 20p?? that’s probably how much it cost to make in terms of a developers time. but I think at 20p perhaps 61 people would have been happy to buy it. you just made 20p more than you would have selling it at 4 quid.

not only that but you have a happier customer base, that will happily promote the product to friends more willingly without comments such as, ‘DLC is a joke’, and people would probably be more willing to buy more DLC in the future.

I would love to work at sony and be in these meetings that come up with prices on DLC. You REALLY need someone that lives in the real world to give you all a slap of reality at every available opportunity it seems.

Seriously, anyone even remotely thinking about buying that POS, save your selves 50p and go buy Pixel Junk Monsters.

It appears “Tom Clancy’s EndWar” is available in the UK already:

“In Stock”
[ http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/3356817/Tom-Clancy-EndWar/Product.html ]

But Amazon have it listed for a 21 November 2008 release date!?!

Whilst I’m on the subject, I managed to get the Collector’s Edition of “Quantum of Solace” from GameStation (the only UK retailer offering this version), but nobody seems to be stocking the Collector’s Edition of “Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm” other regions are being offered.

[And yes, I'm still disappointed that Europe is also not seeing the Collector's Edition of "Resistance 2" :(]

What a crappy update! Not only you make us wait a week for the LittleBigPlanet costumes but you don’t even give us de Motorstorm and the “week one t-shirt” you gave Europe as a DLC for LittleBigPlanet!!!
And don’t make me even start about the free costume you gave day 1 to the Asian market and is not even here! Wait to support your market SCEA!!!

Also of note:
The UK doesn’t see the release of “Tom Clancy’s EndWar” until 21 November 2008, and as per the US Update, the UK ‘Store is offering:
—
Tom Clancy’s EndWar FirstWar Enlistment Pack (free)
Enlist for the FirstWar on PLAYSTATION Network! This FREE download unlocks three exclusive unit upgrades – one for each faction – that you can acquire during campaigns. Be quick, this temporary offer is only available for the first week that the game is available in stores!
File size: 193 KB

Does this mean everybody who may buy the game needs to download the “Enlistment Pack” this week to get it for free?

Or does it mean that the attempt to release similar content to both the US & European regions this week has not been as fully thought through as it could have been?

Either way, I bought the over-priced “LittleBigPlanet” T-Shirt. My Sackperson will be smartly dressed in this until a complementary “I Am The Stig” T-Shirt is released to match the “MotorStorm Custume”.

Thankfully we don’t have to pay by the sticker.
