LittleBigPlanet street date broken - surprised?

LittleBigPlanet Street Date Is Being Broken - Image 1People are buying LittleBigPlanet before its official release date? Gasp! Shock! Jealousy!

One of Kotaku's readers managed to snag an early copy from a Best Buy outlet. (Suddenly, a rush of tiny pattering Sackboy feet can be heard rushing out of Best Buy stores.) Props to the guy for finding an employee apathetic enough to not care about street dates.

Not that this is surprising. Street dates get broken all the time. When Metal Gear Solid 4 got leaked, Konami even admitted that these things are inevitable. Rock Band 2 already took it as a given and congratulated those who got a copy. Finding an early copy should become a trophy.

I just don't get what the point is in posting pictures of it online ?



You can get the person in trouble from who you bought it, what is up with that backstabbing mentality ?

its just a 'nanny nanny boo boo, look what i got an you can get one nyah nyah nyah' sort of thing. plus theres no way they could figure out which best buy sold it and who broke the rules unless they did a nationwide search or he posted the receipt or something. it wouldn't be worth the effort

man, that was mean. Even I get my hands on a leaked version, I would never tell from whom I got the version. That's really sad. I mean, he helped me to get to play the game before all others.

totally unfair form the guy.

Death is right. BB can find out in a couple clicks which store.



Shlt rolls down hill.



1. BB will get fined or sued by MM.

2. BB issues a mandate to the store manager and damands action be taken.

3. Store manager determines which employee broke the rule and fires him.



Happens all the time.



Posting the receipt is mean. Displaying "nyah nyah nyah" is just awesome.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. There are copies available on ebay and have been available for the past week. Plenty of people have it.



Way to stay on top of things QJ. Or should that be SJ?

Gees, no shlt! As if writing for Sony is such a Godly position?



Anyway they already did that for RB2. They displayed a message on the title screen about having gotten the game before the street date.



Hilarious!!! Most games should do that.

My towns walmart already has all their stock out on display. If you try to buy one though they scan it and the computer says something like error, item can't be sold. My guess is it will happen enough that will have to remove all the copies from their shelves or they'll override the message and sell it anyways. Still got 5 days till its actually released.

"Finding an early copy should become a trophy."



actually, there's somekind of trophy related to that. In LittleBigPlanet , there is a trophy for being one of the first ten people to accomplish a task. i forgot the specifics, but there is. LOL. I know cause i've seen it.

Hm, shame about saying where he got it, as the BB dude will most likely get fired. (As said)



However, I'm friends with one or two of the dudes at my local games/movies place, I wonder if they got their stock of Far Cry 2 in yet? Hmm...meh it's only a week difference, these pics and news is really just for bragging rights, rather than the fact they're playing the game already.



Oh well, I'll see if I can get Far Cry 2 early, and if I can, there will be no pics or names posted, just a big smile haha. :D
