Sony: LittleBigPlanet *Not* Region-Locked

And that comes from SCE Development. In PlayStation's Europe message board, he says the producer who spoke yesterday was confused when he said LittleBigPlanet would be region-locked. All shared levels will be available in the game worldwide. Verbatim from Sony:

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.

That's certainly good news, as I imagine other countries' gamers will provide another style of creativity which will only add to the gameplay and replayability. No doubt the game is going to be even more popular because of it.

By the way, if you still don't have a PS3 and are looking forward to games like this coming out, take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win a PS3 or Xbox 360 (your choice). Right now there are less than 250 entrants, so you've got to like your chances. All you need to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt online, which is surprisingly easy to do. For contest details, go here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview

If any of you enter, send me an e-mail and I'll vote for your designs. I work with 6HP too, so feel free to ask any questions. Good luck to all those that enter. I hope you don't mind me commenting on your post, by the way, playstation uncensored.
