Need a good holiday gift for a creative PS3 owner? SCEA and Media Molecule would like you to consider LittleBigPlanet 2. The game has recently been revealed as a yuletide-friendly release, set to hit store shelves on November 16, 2010. The duo has also revealed a host of pre-order exclusives and even a collector's edition bundle if you're in the mood to buy early.
Â
Let's talk bonuses first. Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop have been pegged as storefronts that'll host exclusive offers, all of which boil down to a variety of cuddly costumes. The items are as follows:Â Â
   Â
Amazon
You'll get two Ratchet & Clank costumes and four "Even More Animals" costumes. SCEA isn't being specific about the latter costumes and Amazon isn't either, so be prepared to be surprised come November.Â
Â
 Â
Â
Best Buy
The big-ticket item is access to a three-eyed alien costume inspired by the "Toy Story" franchise. You'll also get a Cobra, Vulture, Mandrill and Crocodile costume from the "Even More Animals" line.Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
GameStop
Like "TRON: Legacy" and eager for a taste of TRON: The Videogame: Evolution: The Videogame? You'll probably dig GameStop's exclusive then, which is a trendy costume taken from the movie in addition to a Cobra, Vulture, Mandrill and Crocodile costume from the "Even More Animals" line.    ÂÂ

== TEASER ==For once, a publisher isn't crushing our hearts by tossing exclusive DLC all over the place. If you'd rather get all the above items instead of just one, you can preorder the $80 limited edition version of the game, which also comes with the below:
- A copy of LBP2Â
- A seven-inch Sackboy plushie
- A set of LB2-decorated bookends.
- A Jak and a Daxter costume
- A Gonzo costume
- Five PSN LB2-themed avatars
Here's an image of the all goodness:Â Â
LBP2 hopes to correct a bunch of user complaints from the first game--and while the jumping mechanics deserve some tweaks and discussion, Media Molecule has mostly focused on showing off the game's creation mechanics, which in a couple of words, can be described as "off the chain." If you've got the time, you'll be able to create your own RTS, design an R-Type-like shooter, program customized NPCs, and even adjust camera angles in created cutscenes. Wild, right?
