When it comes to LittleBigPlanet, we're a spoiled bunch. Not only will the game feature a full story mode, as well as a level editor, which is playable online with up to three of your friends, but now there are a set of pre-order bonus goodies which have our minds reeling from the choice. From the looks of things, these five bonus items will be available from separate retailers. More details on the how, whys and wherefores are yet to come, but what we do know is that choosing between any of them is going to be incredibly difficult.

First up are three physical items relating to the game. A "LittleBigPlanet Creator miniguide" from BradyGames, a sticker book and a burlap sack to keep your game box safe inside. We don't like to think how many Sackboys were killed to make each one, but we're still desperate to get our hands on it. Additionally, there are two downloadable bonuses in the form of Kratos (from God of War) and Nariko (from Heavenly Sword) in Sackboy form.

You can see KratosBoy above, and can find images of all the bonus items on the PlayStation Blog. It all looks so awesome, how could we possibly choose? It looks like we'll be preordering multiple copies of this one ...

UPDATE:

Amazon and Gamestop LittleBigPlanet pre-order details

Last week, we reported on the various pre-order goodies for LittleBigPlanet. We now know the identity of two of the retailers you can pre-order from in order to obtain their respective bonus. If you place your order with Amazon now, you will receive a Brady Games miniguide which is "a primer for LittleBigPlanet's CREATE tools and provides users with a quick tutorial to begin developing their own levels." Click here if you want to pre-order with them.

If you pre-order from GameStop, you will receive the exclusive (in North America) Kratos Sackboy costume set. Keep in mind Kratos is an in-game object that will be downloadable via a promotional code on a voucher. The costume set consists of four individual in-game items: signature Kratos skin, goatee, Blades of Athena and Kratos garments. These items are inter-changeable with your costume inventory so you can place the Kratos goatee or Blades of Athena on any Sackboy or Sackgirl. Head over to GameStop now if you want to take advantage of this.

I'm hoping they'll have this here. So far all of the "special edition" of games have been here such as the Bad Company one (still many in the store available) and the MGS4 one as well. *crosses fingers*

Well I checked the Circuit City website and they're not talking about any special order deal, but I'm sure they'll have something before the game gets here. Chances are Walmart and Best Buy will do something similar and offer one of the extras shown above.

Kratos SackBoy = win.

Kratos SackBoy is godly (pun intended).

Umm, which retailers are carrying which bonus?

That hasn't been announced yet, but I'm guessing we'll know sometime next week.

I hope gamestop does... I already Pre-Ordered through them

I'm sure they'll do one of them. I'm just hoping to get the burlap sack...which is kind of dumb, but I still like it.

I'd only want Kratos, Nariko and the stage building guide.

Why can't they just give away a Sackboy plushy? I'd pre-order it in a heartbeat.

I agree, Rooster. My fiance keeps asking me if they make them because she desperately wants a cute Sackboy plushy to go with our two stuffed Yoshis and giant Domo

very cool giveaways, is retail still $59.99?

yes drew, the price of LBP will be $59.99 and I'm not sure, but it might be downloaded from the PSN at a different price/
