LittleBigPlanet Gets Stranger
 
:
It’s a LittleBigOddworld after all! Or something like that. Now you can dress your Sackboy up as everyone’s favorite crossbow-wielding, poncho-sporting bounty hunter with a deadly secret and deadly breath, with this brand new LittleBigPlanet 2 costume. The Stranger costume comes with everything you associate with the character’s iconic get up, including the wide-brimmed hat, massive boots, and of course that custom-built, critter-firing, double-barrel crossbow (Warning: Crossbow may not operate functionally within LBP2).

Sackboy and you will be able to gain access to this new wardrobe-winner on Wednesday 9 November 2011 (variable by region) for the low, low price of £1.59, €1.99, US $1.99, AUS $ 3.45 or NZD $3.90—whichever currency fills your wallet.

isn't he adorable :3 naturally, I want to see a Abe one.

DarkHoodness 11-04-2011 09:20 AM
Hah, it's nice to see them doing stuff like this - They even hinted at there being glukkons, sligs and mudokons too, but we'll have to wait and see what they actually release. :)

AvengingGibbons 11-04-2011 09:26 AM
Ha, that's adorable! I don't do LBP though. Had the first one, seemed a bit glitchy, and was too baby-ish for me.

Jordan 11-04-2011 10:12 AM
That's the cutest thing ever. ;)

Dynamithix 11-04-2011 10:22 AM
Aww, he's so cute. :p

MeechMunchie 11-04-2011 02:40 PM
That actually is cute.

Oddworld's moving into the public eye again!

STM 11-04-2011 05:08 PM
Dawww sho cuuute! <3 it.

Bodd T.W. 11-04-2011 05:37 PM
I hope that Sekto doesn't look this cute too, or else it'll look like babies are playing with each other in the final battle:?

Nate 11-04-2011 06:11 PM
As I posted in the comment thread, Australians (and New Zealanders) are getting ripped off. What the heck is with that?


I mean, this doesn't affect me directly, given that I traded in LBP two weeks ago to get Ico and SotC, but it's the principle of the thing.

enchilado 11-04-2011 06:24 PM
AUS should be AUD, too.

Nate 11-04-2011 06:25 PM
That too.

Phylum 11-04-2011 07:00 PM
Our dollar is actually stronger than the USD at the moment. That's fucking absurd.

STM 11-05-2011 04:51 AM
Perhaps it's because Australia imports all its games from other countries, I mean, does it have its own game manufacturing plants?

Phylum 11-05-2011 05:08 AM
I'm fairly sure America doesn't have a factory for producing physical copies of DLC either.

Probably the same reason Australians get ripped off on all video games. Don’t you guys basically pay double what the US does?

Wil 11-05-2011 07:30 AM
Don't Australian prices include VAT while US prices don't?

moxco 11-05-2011 04:01 PM
I don't think we have to pay on international purchases - provided it is under $1000.

Bullet Magnet 11-05-2011 04:24 PM
The world is getting back at you guys for all that drop bear nonsense. You bastards.

Nate 11-05-2011 04:32 PM
MoxCo: V.A.T. is the British equivalent of GST.

Max: Depends where you are in America. But it's a moot point, because that only adds 10% to the price, not 80%.

moxco 11-05-2011 05:13 PM
Yeah I know. We only have to pay GST on domestic purchases, unless Max means that we are paying British VAT when we purchase it, though then why wouldn't Americans have to pay also?

He's theorising that when we purchase something from an Australian-based online store that we have to pay GST. Given that a price was expressed in Australian dollars that wasn't simply a conversion of the British or American prices, it's not a bad assumption.

STM 11-06-2011 04:42 AM
One of you Australian blokes should set up a game company with cheap import prices and stuff on your games, you'd have an enormous monopoly by the sounds of it.

Bullet Magnet 11-06-2011 06:55 AM
Also take over the government to make them grow up and stop censoring/banning games that are less awful than your natural fauna.

Paul_hibs3 11-06-2011 08:29 AM
Silly question but I'm not sure:

If I buy this does any money go to OWI/JAW? Or is it just to Sony/Media Molecule?

Dynamithix 11-06-2011 08:32 AM
I'm pretty sure JAW gets some of the profit of it too, but so does Sony.

Crashpunk 11-06-2011 09:49 AM
I'm not completly sure but I think OWI and JAW get more then Sony because they actually made Stranger.

Phylum 11-06-2011 12:32 PM
That's rampant speculation.

Plus, if anything, it would make more sense for Sony/MM to get more money because it's advertising.

Imports are expensive to Australia. As for digital downloads, the publishers would just withhold their games from any seller that tried to match international prices. It's a known-and-not-secret-anymore practice.

Xavier 11-07-2011 11:49 AM
Cute little Sack Stranger :)

Any idea if any other set is planned? Like an Abe one?

Crashpunk 11-09-2011 08:04 AM
I think when Munch's Oddysee HD is coming out we'll get a Abe and Munch sackboys? Maybe i'm just being optimistic.
