Sony just announced a ton of new PSP games, including a portable version of "LittleBigPlanet." From the official press release:

-- LittleBigPlanet -- Developed in conjunction with MediaMolecule, the critically acclaimed game LittleBigPlanet makes its way to the PSP, offering new SackBoy adventures with the same play, create, share experience for gamers on-the-go, in addition to brand new levels and environments specifically created for the platform.

Sounds like an expanded port, no? Except that elsewhere in the release, it's stated that the game will be built "from the ground up" for the system. It's slated for a fall 2009 release. More on this when we have it. Hit the jump for the full Sony press-release, which is stuffed with PSP announcements: Read more...

During a talk about his studio's critical hit "LittleBigPlanet," Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans described an earlier version of the game that had "physical tools" - 1) A shotgun that blew holes in things, 2) A hairdryer that melted stuff, and 3) A gun that sprayed foam.

Problem: "It was great fun but all you could do was create melting piles of s--t." So they dropped the tools, built the content editors and focused the gameplay on pushing, pulling and jumping.

Of the 24 costumes or costume bonus packs available for "LittleBigPlanet," the free Sack In The Box pictured above is the most frequently downloaded one in North America according to a press release issued by Sony Computer Entertainment of America yesterday. The release also revealed the most popular "Home" DLC. Read more...

It's a historic day for America, but apparently everyone was too busy watching Barack Obama take office instead of creating video game content about it; the single "Little Big Planet" level we found celebrating the inauguration wasn't much to talk about. Read more...

There isn't much to play on your PSP this holiday season, but that hasn't stopped people from getting excited over rumors that "LittleBigPlanet" would go portable.

Even though "LittleBigPlanet" has just launched on PlayStation 3, people already want to know what's next.

While on the phone yesterday with John Koller, head of hardware marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America, we asked him about the rumors.

"'LittleBigPlanet' is so expansionary," said Koller. "I think the developer's really concentrating on right now making sure that the launched product is everything it could be and can be. We're watching the UGC [user generated content] and seeing how that's playing out. But for the future, I think certainly, we'd look at a wide variety of opportunities. Whether that's the PSP or not, I can't really say. We certainly look at 'LittleBigPlanet' franchise as a going forward franchise for us, and that speaks to the PlayStation brand overall."

His last line should provide hope for handheld "LittleBigPlanet."

But we didn't stop there. With "Guitar Hero: On Tour" proving so popular on the DS, what is Sony doing to court the makers of "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" to PSP? Here's what Koller told us.

Three "LittleBigPlanet" levels I highlighted last week should have disappeared in the recent infringing content purge by Sony.

All three are still there, though, as of this morning. They're not the only ones, either.

Even though Sony has told "LittleBigPlanet" creators that copyright-infringing content will be deleted, there are plenty of levels based on "Super Mario Bros.," "Sonic the Hedgehog," "Mega Man," "Ghostbusters" -- you name it, you can still find it.

Are players not taking Sony seriously? Maybe they're not aware they're doing anything wrong or this is a risk they're willing to take. When they wake up and find their level removed, however, they just might change their minds.

Why are people are still producing infringing content, readers?
