You mean, publish a level related to the Playstation 3 without ever directly mentioning it cause mentioning it means automatic removal for copyright infringement. Right?

Guess what? The copy of LBP your playing on is on the ps3...how would that mess with copy right issues? What sony is going to sue themselves? Honestly, every one is really overdoing it with insulting MM and Sony for the levels deleted. How about use your own ideas and make your own levels?

Sorry Digplans - because we’re offering prizing, we had to abide by US legal rules.

We are planning to work with SCEC (Canada) so they can distribute the Prize Crown for you guys too, hopefully in the same competitive manner.

To all the euro gamers:

Maybe it's US only because UK & Japan got costumes for free the US did not (or otherwise had to pay for)...

This will be the ebb and flow of DLC for this game me thinks...

@ilikemonkeys: Send your e-mail via an American proxy if you're really that concerned but since winners are probably just getting emailed a code I don't think they're going to go through IP checking between Canada and the United States over this. Just to be sure I might publish my level under an American account and would suggest you do too.

Step 4 is a little inconsistent. What do we use for a level name?
"LBC-1 YourLevelNameHere" or "LBC1-YourLevelNameHere" or is one for the actual level name and one for the email? Going to get confusing.

LBP devs would comment to all these negative post and admit the following.

1 Yes, we know this game stinks
2. Yes, even though we know this game stinks we still want you to buy it.
3. Now tha people quit buy the game cause is stinks we need to sell DLC.
4. Yes, DLC should be free but we lied to you so you would buy the game.
5. User created levels are all garbage and we reserve the right to delete.
6. Yes, our levels on disk are garbage but not as bad as user created lvls.
7. Ok, ok... NO. your not getting a Free T-shirt.. is will cost you 3.99
8. Contest are held to hold the 122 members of this forum together.
9. No.. lol, We are not working on LBP 2 cause we know this one stinks.
10. Quit complaining , We are not half as bad as SOCOM right now.

Seriously, that's CRAP that only US contestants can win. It limits the contest entries by quite a bit... fine, if you don't want to be overwhelmed then let the users vote on it, or do something that is by region; but ONLY US -- that's B.S. in the age of globalization! B.S!!!! (Bad Sony! -- what did you think it meant).

So, call Sony and tell them yourself; it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes... I doubt anyone from MM or Sony even reads these so if you want to do something call 1-800-345-SONY and complain. Then put a post here "Region Complaint +1" and lets see if we can't make our voices heard!!!

If they were going to have a contest they should have clearly figured out each region then announced independent ones... blaming the laws is a farce. They have people that deal with the different regions and Sony has a legal team to assist.... don't believe the hype... they just took the easy way out.

The canadian economy is doing as bad as the US economy. The majority of our exportation was to the US, and since their economy is doing wrong, they stopped most of it.

I believe that BEFORE making this contest, they should've checked on the laws. I hate to flame down Mm, but it really seems that they rushed this. I believe that a days worth of research and a few weeks worth of meetings would have granted that every owner of this game would be eligible to win this lovely crown.

And, If I may, I just want to request that people stop flaming down Mm, and look on the bright side of the dark side.

Also, do try to think about something intelligent to say, we LBP players are smart folk!
