SYDNEY, 6 January 2011: LittleBigPlanet™2 is set to hit Australian shelves on January 20th 2011 exclusively on PlayStation®3 (PS3™), and the anticipation for Sackboy’s return is rising! In preparation, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) is ready to dial it up a notch with the news that three of Australia’s cheekiest YouTubers are pitting their wits against each other in a battle to see who can dream up the coolest level on one of the hottest titles of the new year.
The infamous YouTubers are: TV presenter and music aficionado Danny Clayton; reviewer, gaming fan and respected YouTube commentator Blunty3000; and Christiaan Van Vuuren, aka The Fully Sick Rapper, who spent a solid six months quarantined in hospital with a rare strain of Tuberculosis and thankfully came out the other side with a clean bill of health, as well as a web series and cult following to show for it.
Danny, Blunty and Christiaan have come up with some awesome ideas for their own LittleBigPlanet 2 levels and they want Australian fans to get involved to help them play, create and share like never before. Check out Danny and Blunty’s videos at the Official Australian LittleBigPlanet YouTube Channel to hear their crazy (and sometimes bizarre) thoughts. Also, comment on our YouTube channel and PlayStation’s Australian Facebook page to tell us what you want to see as part of our brave participants’ levels and see which of your ideas they make happen.
Music festivals and zombies? Lungs and cobwebs? You bet! Christiaan will post the Fully Sick Rapper’s video next week so be sure to check back for it and more videos from Danny and Blunty as they respond to what you want to see in their levels. They’ll try to out-Sackboy each other and take LittleBigPlanet 2 to a whole new level (as if over 3 million wasn’t enough!). There might even be a larger-than-life appearance from Sackboy himself.
While fans are at it they can check out trailers and other cool content in the lead-up to the release of the first PlayStation 3 blockbuster for 2011.

Excited? Sackboy is. He’s been getting ready for this for two years – and he’s back in town on 20th January 2011. Get ready for LittleBigPlanet 2 on PlayStation 3. You’ll be astounded at what you end up creating.
