That's quite a blown out of proportion reaction to one little shirt on a video game. Deal with it.

Well this ought to calm down some of the madness people are whining about on these forums..(except for the searching feature...THAT is a LEGITIMATE gripe!!) I think its cool that you guys will start doing this on a weekly basis...I appreciate the hard work I'm sure you guys are doing right now...I've been gaming for over 20 years and this is hands done one of the BEST games and experiences I've had with a game ever! Keep up the good work and I'm sure great things will come to us...the LBP community.

You wouldnt think theyd actually release dlc every week for this thing right? Translation: every now and then to keep us in the news / boost sales / keep moaning people happy untill they're bored of supporting the game, which is probably in about a month or 4.

i think because of it's price it is going to make it rare, also
they are probably using all the money we put in to improve the game
and maybe even make some kind of expansion pack

the costumes are apart of that to give the game longer life.
what i would like also like to see is a neat monthly level that some of the

master creators could make, that would be neat too..

@ Letters2Kay:
I only got aware that my nickname 'contained' an offensive word when I tried registering at PlayStation Underground (now PlayStation Forums) and it said I could not register that nick. Quite a shame, really, since this is the name of the main character of Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece Princess Mononoke. An anime and film lover will know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, the 400 Bad Request issue is due to the following (I'm just quoting):

'400 Bad Request
Your Web server thinks that the data stream sent by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) was 'malformed' i.e. did not respect the HTTP protocol completely. So your Web server was unable to understand the request and process it.
It almost always means bad programming of the client system and/or your Web server. '

So, after reading this I switched from the browser Firefox to IE and it worked perfectly.. Don't know why though -_-'

MODERATION ISSUE: Has anyone else had their level moderated? Mine was for no reason whatsoever, and now it will not load. Is that supposed to happen? I figured I could change the name and I wanted to add to it, but is the only thing I can do is to delete it?? I spent a lot of time on it!

ABout time they released update on the server and search engine status! Took long enough, i wish it was fixed before the contest.....My level does not come up when you search LBC1. It only comes up when you type in LBC1-PS3. Kind of hard to have equal chance at the contest when levels that get featured get 1,000 plays, and mine doesnt even show up when u type in LBC1........thanx......

Check out my level if u get a chance, LBC1-PS3 FUN. You have to type in the full name to find it. Thanx for all the guys who played it, and thanx for voting and giving us a chance at this. I have a video of it in my workshop incase u want to see that first.

"After reading the forums, looks like we struck a nerve with a few of you thinking these updates are unfair publicity to the selected...Judging is completely separate from these updates and the evaluation of these levels will take into consideration a creators creativity, game design, innovation, use of tools, etc - NOT just “hearts” and “plays”...then have our judges spend a few days to play thru and judge levels and award the top 5 creators for this challenge."
-SACK it to me
"also i think that this is incredibly unfair putting the levels "you" think are best, because then people set out only to play these levels."
-Kazzor

Whoohoo my complaining got them to "change" the format for judging.
SEE what I mean, this used to be how you win.
" Your Level will be judged by the LittleBigPlanet Community. Community members will be able to vote on multiple Levels by adding a “Heart” to each one they like. They may only add one Heart to any particular Level. The top five qualifying Levels will be selected as the winners."

Uhm.. So they didn't really resolve the T-Shirt issue.. In fact they basically just said "we are not sure if Americans deserve our super special European exclusive material" They never even told us when we were going to get it, if at all.

"There may be other RARE items like this in the future, so check back on future DLC announcements. "

This does not solve anything, clearly you are listening to our posts but not doing anything to resolve them. So you think we can't handle the unique awesome of your T-shirt and have decided to never give it to the U.S. shores, thanks MM.

i dont care much for a rare t-shirt......i make most of my costumes....i just want them to fix the way peopel browse serevrs. Now instead, they added 5 websites that list top 50 levels.....Yea, these levels are the top cause THEY ARE ON COOL LEVELS PAGE EVERYDAY!.....Most of those are great, yea, but theya lready have 50,000 hearts......So why give them more attention. Cmon people, why not give others a try. Why not list, top 50 levels, that no one heard of that you have to play. I put over 60 hours in my pirate level with the giant boss octopus..http://www.littlebigworkshop.com/en-us/Tools/Workshop/View?id=478..and<
/a> what do i got? 130 plays.....thanx.

You should do a search where it takes the amount of plays, compares it to amount of hearts, and brings it up if the average is good. Say 100 people played it, and 50 hearted it, thats 1/2 ratio... Instead, now the 1/2 million people who didnt play all these levels that already have million plays, will now go and play them, and overlook all the new levels people worked very hard on....

so u fixing the search engine, but u are publicizing levels, that already have 1/2 million plays....

Why didn't they enable 3rd party controllers again in 1.05! Playing alone is boring, I want to play with my friends!! I already sent two emails, but MM never answered. I had so much fun in the beta, when I played with 2 friends. I bought the game hoping that it would be even better, but now the most important feature for me is disabled!!!! EVERY other game I ever played on my PS3 supports my Logitech controllers, why not LBP????

I have an Idea I would like to toss at Sony and Mm about they moderation of all the really good levels based on other IP's

Now lots of rumors fly all over the internet but the word on the street is that LBP levels that are based on a another IP are copy right infringement.

example: if a "Resident Evil" level was made it would be deleted.

My Idea I have is instead of deleting the "Resident Evil" level maybe you could allow Capcom to put ads on this level.

The way this could work would be on the level description while your waiting for the level to load.

Right under the authors description could be a small simple picture or even a video of a new game coming out by Capcom.

Heck the PS3 is online anyways why not have a link on this ad that could open up the web browser so a person could go and buy this game!

I think this is a good idea because

1 since Capcom could get free ads up they would be less likely to get mad someone for "infringement" issues.

2 both you, Sony and the game company would make a lot more cash tossing ads at people every five seconds.

Lots of those really great levels have over 100,000 hearts and plays.
That's a 100,000 people seeing that ad tons of times a day.

If this is a terrible idea please try to come up with something else. all of us here in LBP really want to play all of those fantastic levels.

Thanks.
