User Created DLC Could Cost Money In LittleBigPlanet News

Users who have created downloadable content for LittleBigPlanet may be able to charge other gamers to use it...

Sony has stated that when LittleBigPlanet is released this October, it will allow certain users who have created content for the game to charge other players for downloading that content. The service is being likened to online consumer powerhouses iTunes and eBay.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's President, David Reeves, has the statement and PS3 Fanboy has the report: "What we're trying to do with LittleBigPlanet is almost iTunes meets eBay in the sense that once an individual or a developer has qualified by producing certain levels or certain add-ons, they will then be able in the future to exchange these and make money out of them. Eventually, it's feasible that you might well see the first LittleBigPlanet millionaire!"

"Even if you charge less than one euro," Reeves continued, "it doesn't take many downloads if you've got a really strong LittleBigPlanet level for people to be able to make money. It's a great way for people to show others what they can do."

There you have it! TVG suggests getting your gaming fingers into some classic platformers for inspiration while you're waiting for one of Sony's biggest titles of the year.

My opinion: I own 30 consoles, 2 Macs and 4 PCs of different ages. I don't care what I play on, just what I play. You should all grow up. mort8104

But all three are great just for offline play. They would probably be the first i would reccomend to anyone. and also 75 trophies so far in Killzone 2.Burnout paridise has i think 98 trophies. it has the most out of everyother game and some of them are super easy.

Go choke on your mouse you world of warcraft playing 12 year old piece of sh!t troll
	By: Anonymous Added:Wed 04th Feb 2009 19:39, Post No: 47 You people comming on this forum for one of the greatest, most charming, ingenious platforming games ever created just so you can bash on the PS3 make me sick and you should all learn harsh lessons. Of course a pc can be more powerful than a console, ANY console. Everyone knows that and now what is your point? Console have their own charm and benefits of having for those of us who can't afford to keep updating our pcs every time a good game comes out. Console people like to play games with there other console buddies just like you pc players do the same. Everyone has their own preferences of exclusives, control, (a huge benefit of console is being able to play with your friends with a few controllers rather than JUST online all the time or lugging are huge pcs to each others house for a huge GEEK fest. Its not about whose d!ck is bigger or "My pc is more pwerful than your ps3" its about what people preffer. The fact that you come on here to b!tch and moan means quite frankly, to me, that you are just bored with your pc, envious of ps3 owner, and have big time penis-envy inferiority complex.

	By: Anonymous Added:Sat 13th Dec 2008 20:04, Post No: 45 just a message to post 41 i take it youve never seen crysis on the pc, dont go blabber mouthing on about killzone 2 without even seeing crysis first secondly MGS games are typically released on consoles anyway but yet theres splintercell which i do beleve to be an MGS clone. LBP is like donky kong contry when that came out on the snes back in the early 90's awsome graphics and great gameplay realy thats all this game needs as its not trying to be something its not. cool game just have to wait till the ps3 price starts falling (ive already got a blu-ray player on my laptop).
