MGS Infiltrates LBP In Time For Christmas

When I was first looking to pick up Little Big Planet, there was a big hoopla over where to preorder the game. Depending on your decided place of purchase, you would get bonus costumes for your sack boy/girl/non gender specific entity. I went with the Nariko costume at Best Buy because I enjoy a female with a sword. Now fans of Sony's level creating extravaganza have something to be even more excited about. Metal Gear Solid packs are hitting the PSN on December 23rd! You've got a few choices, which I will outline thanks to the Playstation Blog.
Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack Includes:
Solid Snake
Meryl
Raiden (ADORABLE!)
Screaming Mantis
Each costume can be purchased for $1.99 or as a pack for $6. The Raiden costume is too cute for words. Now you can live out Raiden's tragic transformation into a cyborg by sending him through your own user created battlefield. Not looking for simply costumes? Well then take a gander at this puppy:
Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack Includes:
Gurlokovich Soldier Costume
72 Stickers
12 Materials
10 Decorations
18 Objects
1 new background music track
3 new interactive music tracks
1 new Metal Gear Solid themed 'sound object'
New Plasma Ball 'danger element'
New Laser Sight 'gadget'
New functioning Searchlight lamp
THE PAINTINATOR (and Paint Switch)
5 New Story Levels
1 New Challenge Level
12 New Trophies
I'll give you a moment to digest all of that information. The Paintinator is what everyone is excited about, finally I can exact my revenge on friends who've learned the fine art of smacking my Sack Boy! All this content will set you back $5.99. Anyone else beyond excited?
LBP Premium Level Packs + Costume Packs (Metal Gear Solid Edition) - on the PS Store 12/23 [Playstation Blog]








I know I'm getting the game for Christmas, looks like I'll be getting this with the Street Fighter pack right away.
Evil microtransactions with this I say.
Ooh! I'm gonna have to grab back my copy of LBP I let my friend borrow for this pack! Soooo excited!!
Also, with something this big for MGS4, I wonder what we can expect from the FFVII universe. =o
Yea - that Paintinator is sweet... and will add soo many more gameplay possibilities.
