Wrap Up That Sackboy With Holiday Level Pack

New LittleBigPlanet level-creation materials with a festive theme can be yours on Thursday for a mere three bones.

I have no mouth but I must sack.

Ready to purchase some new levels from Sony for LittleBigPlanet? Sorry, that's not what the first upcoming LBP "level pack" is about, though a set of prepackaged new action stages is certainly the first thing that came to my mind upon reading that name.

Instead, a level pack in LBP's parlance is a set of new materials, objects, and so forth you can use to make new levels with--what the game is supposed to be about, anyway. The holiday-themed first level pack will contain this stuff, according to the PS.Blog.

  • Two new Costumes – Christmas Tree headpiece and a Wrapped Sackboy.
  • One new Create Material - Wrapping Paper (cardboard w/ giftwrap texture).
  • Two new Objects - A Festive Sleigh and holiday themed light.
  • Six new Decorations = A Festive Bauble, Bell, Wrapping Bow, Candy Cane, Card and Stocking.
  • A ton of new Stickers = holiday themed of course, including a Red Nose Reindeer, Elves, Turkey images and many more.

Pretty generous batch of new stuff, methinks, though the seasonal window in which you can make a viable holiday level is rapidly closing. The level pack will be out on the PlayStation Network this Thursday for the reasonable price of $2.99.

Are you working on LBP levels of your own? Have the moderation and server issues dampened your creative spirit, or are you ready to pony up for these items?
