US retailer Future Shop has tweeted that Sony announced “LittleBigPlanet Cart Racing” during a Destination PlayStation event today, as well as a new Move steering wheel peripheral. The game also supports 3D, and we’re going to assume for the moment the game contains kart racing of some sort. That’s all that’s known at the moment, but we’ll keep you posted as more information is available.

SCEA SVP of PR Rob Dyer has said the PSP will expect a pretty “robust” third-party line-up for 2010.

We’re assuming this all comes from yesterday’s Destination PlaySation event in the US, but according to this VentureBeat report, Sony’s announced a 20 million registered figure for PSN.

In addition, Home has hit 4 million users since it launched at the end of last year.

The PSN figure compares to the 17 million claimed by Microsoft for Live, although it’s worth noting that Sony quotes a number for all accounts ever registered, whereas Microsoft’s 17 million is based on users that logged into Live in the previous month.

The PS Store offers more than 14,500 items, Sony said yesterday, including 5,900 movies and TV shows.

So far, more than 380 million pieces of digital content have been downloaded, with the value exceeding $180 million.

Best thing ever. What looks to be the last bit out of Sony’s US Destination PlayStation event today is a picture of a lilac PSP.

The machine will be included in a Hannah Montana bundle later this year.

We’re going to buy two. The pack includes a Hannah Montana “rhythm game,” a UMD of episodes from the series, a 2Gb Memory Stick PRO Duo, and some stickers, according to Joystiq.

Rock Band Unplugged will release for PSP this year, it’s just been confirmed.
