Hi all, as many of you may have heard already in an interview at Leipzig the senior producer for LittleBigPlanet announced that the game is region locked. This is in fact not the case, and all shared levels in the game will be available worldwide. The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region - however this has been worked around and there will only be one region for the game.... a LittleBigRegion.

Apologies for any confusion over this issue, however I'm pretty sure you're happy with the result.

This is very welcome and relieving news - especially from an Australian/New Zealand region perspective.

They're part of the PAL region so would get all of Europe's stuff as well. I think.

I am still cancelling my preorder. I will wait and see if what Sam says is correct. I doubt it is correct though. That Producers guy was VERY SURE that sharing online is region locked. Why hasnt Sony made more noise about it not being region locked? Why has the ONLY place that says it is NOT region locked on the fourm? Why does it state on the offical LBP site that it is region locked if it is not?
