I actually got it yesterday around 5pm...didn't even go there intending on buying, but saw it behind the counter and asked for it.

Everyone, start posting your first few hour impressions. I want to see how the game is doing.

OK, so I went to GameStop around eleven, picked up my game, everything is fine. Get home, pick up my blue preorder card to peel the sticker off and redeem the code, and the sticky part has fused to the card. I'm using borderline surgical precision trying to peel the thing off, and it rips. All I get are the last four digits of the code. So, I spend another hour driving back into town to get another card (got one of the newer brown ones). I peel it, and it comes off good. Rush home to put the code in, and apparently it's already been used, which it hasn't. I call up Sony and spend 15 minutes listening to an automated voice shill GT5
until I remember Sony has no way to contact an actual person via their hotline. Fired off an email now...this is ridiculous; I just want what I paid for.

Other than that, I'm sure the game will be fantastic when I actually have enought time to sit down and play it.

Just picked up my Gamestop preorder, and with a few random trade-ins I took it home for about $2.50. Just waiting for my fiancee to get home so I can fire it up (she'd hate me for starting without her).

You didn't pay for it. The card was extra for pre-ordering it.<rant>

Is that Stephen Fry? If so, awesome. AWESOME.
This game is going to be enormous.

I wonder if people will make internet episodes off of LittleBig Planet like Red Vs. Blue.

When something is advertised as "you can only obtain item X if you pay Y money towards item Z" then you are essentially paying for item X. I could have saved my $5, but I plunked down in order to buy item X, which Gamestop has been running commercials specifically advertising.
Stephen Fry voices a character in Fable 2 as well, love his voice. Hoping for some good Black Friday PS3 deals... with this finally out, and Dark Knight coming out on Blu-Ray in early December... it's about time to get a Blu-Ray player.

No no. Gamestop paid for those. They used their advertising bucks to secure those exclusive items so you'd spend your $60 on their copy of LittleBigPlanet, which equals more money for them, not Sony.
Thank god I'm not the only one this has happened too, I can't help but wonder why they wouldn't just make it a scratch off rather than covering the code with a sticker, which we ALL know peels.<rant>

You can imagine my disappointment when my code is missing almost every digit. I've yet to go to Gamestop to get a new code, hoping to do so tomorrow, or at least when servers are up.
So far so good, making levels is hard as hell, quality levels that is. Started a level I had intended to make a decent play online and four hours later was still only half way done with what I had hoped to create, and at half my standards for the first half. Maybe I should lower the standards of my own imagination? Still making levels is as fun as playing them.
I love making angry faces and hitting my friends with my Sack.

Great co-op multiplayer. I haven't gone into the creation aspect yet, as I've been at the ASU game, but what I've played of the story so far has been amazing. The game looks great, plays great, and has a huge deal of complexity under it's cute exterior. Plus, it's not TOO easy. I appreciate that.
@Crimsonking: hahah.
I've been playing Megaman so much recently that LBP always tricks me into thinking I have a few seconds of invulnerability after being hit/sent to check point. Which is a major problem when I'm fighting bosses and think (I'll run out and get this last hit will I can't be hurt" and then 'poof' Sackboy is dead.
This game's checkpoints can be harsh as well, usually taunting you just seconds away while your last checkpoint does the same with it's constant warnings of your last life.
And what about OldSack? Or Sackiroth? Although I'm not as interested in the latter. Sackboy, an even more endless source of sexual jokes then the Nintendo Wii.
So Stephen Fry is the british bloke that has so warmly introduced me into the world of Little Big Planet? That guys a hoot.
Nevermind, Servers aren't up I have no idea what the update was about.

Argh. Fine. I just want my Demon Skull level so I can toss innocents into the pit of fire.

My little code thingy ripped too. I'll probably go back down to Gamestop to see if they've got a spare they can give me, but otherwise it's a loss--not a huge one, but still a loss.
Guys, no laughing at me. 
Alright, I'll permit it, it was a good joke.

So, my code should not work, right?
Nope, not until the servers are up. Which they are not. Which makes me sad because I want to share this level I've been working on for nearly 24 hours. Since I got the game. It's really turning out nicely, not as complex or neat as the designer levels but I'd say decent for my first real level.

Yeah. According to Kotaku...
I am so relieved...I haven't even unwrapped my copy yet, but come Wednesday, when the servers are up and my Cal test is over, I am firing this sucker up. It's a good time to own a PS3.Kotaku said:
Also, how long does GameStop hold pre-orders? I was planning on picking up Fallout 3 Tuesday afternoon, but I had to lend my parents $30 and may or may not have enough money come Tuesday.
24 hours. After that, your copy is up for grabs. Your money is still put towards the game, but your receipt is removed from the copy of the game it was taped to and the copy of the game is sold to whoever wants it.

'K then. I don't care if my copy is sold, I just don't want to lose the $5 I put toward the game. I'll probably get the game early November when more money comes in.
@People who have already used the editor: I heard rumors that the toolset in the beta editor was incomplete and there are more tools in the actual retail one. Is this true? It seemed some of the official levels in the beta (Demon Skull in particular) had things that would have been impossible or extremely tedious with the beta editor. (the perfectly symmetrical omega symbol throughout the level makes me think there's a mirroring tool or a way to etch a shape into a material)

There is a function that allows you to save custom items you've made, so whenever you feel like adding that later or in a new level you just pull up the menu and your old item is right there for use to tour hearts content. That might now have been in the beta.
Fingers Crossed for open servers tomorrow.
Love the music in the Dancer level in India, same stuff from Sackzilla trailer great song.
I wish I had the time to explain how awesome this game is but I need to go back to playing it.

I'm so tempted to start playing now...
Wait, there's a story mode??
Everything I've read about this game suggested that it's a complex level-creation tool with very basic platforming mechanics with which to play the levels. However, after reading some of your comments, I think my impression of this game is off. Can someone who has played it please describe it to me?

Story mode is essential, without it you couldn't make many worth while levels. Playing through the story mode unlocks different obstacles, materials, and items that can be used in the Level Creator. The story has something to do with some jerk stealing the creations of the "Master Creators" and your job is to find out who, and why, and of course to stop them. The story mode also unlocks various costumes and accessories for your Sackperson.
Basically, you play the story, unlock new items, make new levels with said items. And play online with 3 other people around the world. Brilliant, simple, fun.

Have they given out any info as to how/when all the crossover Sackpeople can be obtained?
Also, anyone up for exchanging PSN IDs?

One level was actually really hard for me (compared to the previous levels), and I just started out. I like that.
The game is a blast. You really feel happy playing it. I can't wait to see how well it does in Japan.

This game looks like it's going to do pretty well universally. It's one of two games I want for the PS3, but I can't justify a 600 dollar purchase with just that...
Maybe not so much in the Middle East though? Really though the delay seems like nothing now.

God, there's so much to the PS3 these days it's insane... I'd give the games a second look if I were you, there's probably really more than 2 games that could spark your interest.
Customizing my Sackboy is becoming a bit of an obsession. I love in-game avatars, and this one just let's you run wild with it.

Keep in mind that any FPS's for the PS3 will probably not interest me since I prefer PC FPS controls infinitely more to consoles. No real reason, just because they're better.
