Media Molecule Announces SackBoy Creation Contest

To say I’m excited about Media Molecule’s upcoming LittleBigPlanet would be a complete understatement. I’m pumped up. And if predictions that the PS3 exclusive title will be Sony’s biggest hit in 2008 come true, then Media Molecule should be pretty excited as well. To show their excitement, they recently announced a user contest open to anyone over 13 in Europe, Japan, and the United States. The contest consists of downloading the SackBoy template, then creating! You can use programs like Photoshop, or even hand draw details onto the template, scan, and then send your submission on in for consideration by September 30.

This kind of marketing is exactly why I think LittleBigPlanet will be such a hit in October and beyond. A submission from the three eligible regions will be featured in the final copy of the game, and will no doubt be available for download on the PSN soon after release. So, if you’re excited for this game, and would like to brag to your buddies about how you’re SackBoy design made it into the game, then get to designing! Time’s almost up! And make sure to be unique, this challenge isn’t for the feint of heart!
