Some more new information about LBP.

Media Molecule has launced a new website to keep people informed of the developments with Little Big Planet. I had a look at the site and it is really cool. It allows you to redesign the look of the site in a similar way that the game is supposed to work. Genius.

It looks like the official cover art has been released. Looks cool.
Check out the
Sackzilla monster in LBP. Pretty cool.

Media Molecule are running a competition to get a user to create their very own Sackboy, which will then be included in forthcoming DLC.

The manual for Little Big Planet is available to download from
here.
Not sure why it has been released with about six weeks to go before release of the game but it looks really cool. A lot of work has gone into it, the art style is really nice. I read through some of it and a lot of thought has gone into this game. A lot! Just looking at the list of materials you can use and the properties of each. Looks like there will be a big learning curve in the creating mode.
They mention a few times the need for users to regulate their own content - not to create any offensive material. They want to promote a friendly social environment. The manual also shows a 'Good Grief Menu' that you can pop up at any time to report any offensive material.
It has reminded me that I should look into getting the Playstation Eye for this game.
There is a cool video showing a user generated level
here. It gives a good idea of the size of levels and the amount of items you can have in a level. I can't believe the level is this big and has so much going on in it. The meter at the side that dicates how much room you have left is only half full too.
Very impressive.
