Play for Japan: Own a piece of LittleBigPlanet history, or buy your way into royalty
This post is somewhat overdue, but it’s time to talk about the tragic events that have been unfolding in Japan recently. There’s perhaps no need to go into too much detail, we all know about the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that has caused immense devastation, and loss of life there, we all know they face a very tough time ahead, and can do with all the help they can get.
The games industry obviously has special ties with Japan. These people are our colleagues, friends, family, team mates, opponents, compadres, buddies… you’ve played their LittleBigPlanet levels, and they’ve played yours. That’s why people from within the games industry have come together to build the Play For Japan campaign.
Play For Japan aims to channel the passion and generosity of gamers into a relief effort, through events, donations, and auctions of rare and interesting gaming memorabilia. That’s where we will be joining in, with five auctions we hope will raise some much needed cash for those in need. All the money raised will be donated to the Red Cross Appeal.

LittleBigPlanet PSP XMB Theme
Did you see that back in March, LittleBigPlanet PSP won a BAFTA for best handheld game? Well it did, and as LittleBigPlanet would be a big old nothing without its community, we thought we’d give a little something back to you guys as a big thank you for all your hard work, in the form of a special XMB theme for your PSP.
We think you’ll all agree, that one of the best things about LittleBigPlanet is being able to splat stickers all over the place, so why not do the same thing to your PSP™, and add some LittleBigPlanet flavour with some special sticker icons? Combine that with an oh so lovely fabric background and big smiling Sackboy, and your PSP will be all craft-like and awesome in no time.
Grab this new LittleBigPlanet PSP XMB theme on the PlayStation®Store from today…. For FREE no less!
