Awww Shucks... Consider This Bought!

It's actually just hit us. The sequel to one of the greatest (and most ambitious) games ever crafted, is just over three months away. That's just a quarter of a year, folks. Get hype.

The game was originally slotted in for simply "November", but Sony of America's clarified today that the whimsical platformer will drop on November 16th in the United States. SCEA's also revealed details for a huge Collector's Edition which will release in "limited" numbers alongside the game. You're probably gonna have to be snappy with that pre-order button if you want it. We've listed full details of the CE after the jump.

There's no date yet for the European version, but we assume it'll be the same week as America. We simply can't wait.

LittleBigPlanet 2's collector's edition will set you back $79.99 and net you the following goodies:

  • A copy of LBP2
  • 7? Sackboy plushie
  • LBP game ends – “keep your PS3 games in a tidy, organized and ‘Sack-ured” within these unique bookends”
  • A massive bootload of pre-order DLC, including:
    Toy Story 3 Aliens costume
    Tron: Legacy Clu costume
    Muppets Great Gonzo costume
    Ratchet costume
    Clank costume
    Even More Animals costumes: Crocodile, Vulture, Cobra, Mandrill
  • And two costumes exclusive to the CE:
    Jak costume
    Daxter costume
  • Five LBP2 avatars for PSN

There's more information over on the PlayStation Blog. Those bookends look incredible.
