LittleBigPlanet is not region-locked, OK?
Despite this CVG story apparently confirming that gamers will only be able to download LittleBigPlanet levels specific to their home region, Sony has moved to assure all those frantic with worry that this is, in fact, not the case.
“As many of you may have heard already in an interview at Leipzig the senior producer for LittleBigPlanet announced that the game is region locked,” said SCE developer “Sam,” speaking on the EU PlayStation boards.
“This is in fact not the case, and all shared levels in the game will be available worldwide. The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region – however this has been worked around and there will only be one region for the game…. a LittleBigRegion.”
So there we are.

Excellent. Now get importing from the HDD back into the game and it’s perfect again!

Said about it a couple of weeks back I believe. You can only make stickers using the Playstation eye. It may make it back into the game but who knows.

The demo’s still have the feature, so I am cautiously optimistic.

I wouldn’t be:
“The only way to import fresh images into LittleBigPlanet is using the PlayStation Eye.”
Link (3rd message down)
Put simply, if they hadn’t limited the resolution by forcing the use of the Playstation Eye it looks like you wouldn’t have been able to get hardly any stickers in. I wonder how many you’ll be able to get in with the reduced res.

Becuase Sony want to sell their camera. That’s all if it’s the case.
But it’s only been a SCEA PR man say that so far.

I wish you luck, I really do… but that’s about as definitive as it gets.

To be honest, I tried your link, and I got a bit lsot. But last tiem I ehard it was just SCEA pimping their PSEye.
If not, I hope EyeToy works.

At this stage, it’s confirmed that you can only use the Playstation eye to get images into the final game. Anything different to that will be news… and I really hope they do make the decision to change it.

Well, that’s that then. I was only hopeful before, becuase all the demo’s seemed to have the ability to do that.
Seems like a shame.
