Sony has just announced an exclusive title for their PS3 console – LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition. What can you find in this new edition? Well for starters it will bring LittleBigPlanet’s award winning “Play, Create, and Share” gameplay experience to your living room accompanied by other bonus additions that comprise of 18 never-before-seen levels developed by select LittleBigPlanet fans, a slew of free downloadable content packs with themed levels and costumes as well as exclusive access to the upcoming ModNation Racers online beta.

The LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition will also include seven free downloadable content packs to expand SackBoy’s wardrobe, deliver new action packed gameplay, and offer a larger variety of “Create” materials. These packs include: Metal Gear Solid Level Pack – featuring the “Paintinator” ($5.99), Metal Gear Solid Costumes ($5.99), Monsters Costumes ($2.99), Monsters Pack ($3.99), History Costumes ($2.99), History Pack ($3.99), and Animals Costumes ($2.99) – all as priced on PlayStation(R)Store. In addition, limited quantities of the game will include a PlayStation Network voucher code to download the upcoming ModNation Racers online beta – PlayStation’s newest “Play, Create, and Share” title, a classic kart racing game with a creative twist. All bonus content is valued at over $30, offering fans an enhanced experience at no added expense.

Will this see the boost of PS3 Slim consoles as well as sweeping up whatever remains of the old PS3 hardware on store shelves? That remains to be seen – while LittleBigPlanet has made a tremendous impact on the gaming industry, it isn’t exactly a super killer app that most people were looking forward to although it is a step in the right direction.
