Re: LittleBigPlanet 3

A little bummed about this announcement honestly. Little Big Planet and maybe Bluray were the sole reasons I finally invested in a PS3, but alas there's no PS4 in the cards for me so I won't be able to play this. Sackboy, you will be missed...

Nintendo loyalist for years, I got my first PS3 for Christmas. So far, I have three games for the PS3, LBP GOTY, 3D Dot Heroes, and LBP2. I've also sunk about $25 into the PSN store, mostly on DLC for Little Big Planet. Little Big Planet 2 I have not had the opportunity to go online with, as my fiance bought it for me for Easter. 3D Dot Heroes, while awesome, does not have online. Exploring all the wonderful fan-created levels in Little Big Planet, the content packs, creating your own levels and uploading to the internet, is a great diversion and adds a ton of replay value to the game. But for those people who enjoy games that involve head-to-head combat, sudden total loss of online could be a real deal-breaker.

I have researched the incident online, which led me to reports that the encryption keys for the PS3 were finally cracked and subsequently posted online just this past January. This finally allowed hackers to gain access to the nuts and bolts and start really tinkering around with the system. As well, I don't think an attack of this magnitude would have ever been possible without the the details of the crack publicly released earlier this year.
