WIN! A LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Portable Bundle
LittleBigPlanet hit the PSP this week. We’ve got two LittleBigPlanet PSP bundles to give away. But only if you can make us laugh.
UPDATE: This competition is now closed. The second winner will be announced 11am Monday.
LittleBigPlanet on PSP is an entirely new Sackboy adventure with an Australiana themed area just one of more than 35 original levels. And just like on PS3, you can create your own levels and share them online with the PSP community.
Thanks to our friends at Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, we have two prize packs up for grabs, both including:
* A turqiose Slim & Lite PSP
* A copy of LittleBigPlanet on UMD
* A Sackboy screenwipe
* And a Sackboy PSP pouch
How do you win? It’s limerick time again. You have to write a LittleBigPlanet themed limerick that begins “There once was a Sackboy…” (Remember: limericks have fives lines; lines 1, 2 & 5 should rhyme, and lines 3 & 4 should rhyme.)
Good luck!
NOTE: As with all Kotaku comps, only one entry per draw is allowed. If you leave multiple entries, only the first one will be considered.
And the first winner is… Brent Harrison, who submitted not just the first but the best classification-themed limerick:
There was a sackboy named Michael,
who thought banning games was delightful,
Until one day,
Voters sent him away,
By electing his political rival.
Remember, leave your limerick here to go into the second draw. Entries close at midnight Sunday.

Fantastic limerick.
Well done Brent. =)
There once was a sackboy narrator
a real smooth operator
he’s a hell of a guy
his name’s Stephen Fry
this limerick’s done, catch ya later
There once was a sackboy too curious.
His intelligence rather spurious.
Oh what a stunt,
The stupid runt.
He exploded, player 1 is furious.
There once was a sackboy named Cass
who used to say words with much crass
you’re all @#$%ing creeps
damn, I got bleeped
@#$% you all in the ass!
The once was a sackboy named Stan,
Who sung verses of the Qur’an,
Though wholly devout,
A new patch came out,
He was silenced for the sake of Islam
There once was a sackboy named James
who really loved to play games
he played day and night
and some how to spite
his computer went up in flames
There once was a Sackboy named Nick,
Who wrote a bad Limerick,
it was the last of two tries,
To win the prize,
But he only won a stick.
There once was a Sackboy named Murray.
Who had his first piping hot curry.
It tasted quite queer.
He downed it with beer.
And soon he was pooping McFlurry.
There once was a Sackboy that stunk
Of a gut-churning eye-watering funk
A wash was decreed
Now a new platform they’d need
As when he dried out he had shrunk!
There once was a sackboy called Goose,
He train travelled via caboose,
A great prize give-away,
Left no bedtime foreplay,
But “this one is WIN” he will deduce!
I’m assuming that since you have no car David you travel by train…? Because one cant PSP while riding a bike to work can they… Am I right?
There once was a Sackboy named Timmy Smooth
On PS3 he loved to dance and groove
Now he’s on PSP
Ported over so easily
Now he can dance and groove on the move!
There once was a Sackboy called GO
Who retailed for four-fifty or so
Sales were down
Which made retailers frown
Because consumers would not part with their dough.
There once was a Sackboy band
Their lyrics and melodies: Bland!
They tried hip hop,
and thought ‘Tip top!’
But now they play for cash in hand
There once was a sackboy named Ben
Who enjoyed stapling things to his friend
Until one day he was grabbed
And into the PSP jabbed
His coop days coming to an end
There was a sackboy named Mark
He went to the Park
He saw a beast
Who wanted a Feast
It was Dark…
There once was a Sackboy who would cry
Until he gave something else a try
He pressed up and up
Then he smiled like a pup
And from then on he heard a voice called Fry
There once was a Sackboy all green
I thought this particularly mean
“I bought a PSPGo
so it’s rude don’t you know
to be green while I’m deep in the red!”
*reread* how did I mess that up so bad?
ninja revise!
There once was a Sackboy named Ted
Whose green tint just got to my head
“I bought a PSPGo
so it’s rude, don’t you know,
to be green while I’m deep in the red!”
revise complete.
There once was a sackboy named Hugh,
his games were a substitute for food,
he shot zombies for a living,
but died upon hearing,
the ban on Left 4 Dead 2.
There once was a Sackboy called Pete,
And The level was almost complete,
A Cow fell from the air and dropped on his head!
He ran with despair but it fell on his head!
….and now all thats left is his feet :(
There once was a sackboy named Roy,
Who all along through he was a boy,
He inspected his parts,
Saw inter-changeable art,
Then realised he was only a toy.
Damn. Meant to be “thought” instead of “through”. =/
There once was a Sackboy named Pete,
Who’s limerick was tidy and neat.
He lost phase number one,
and admitted he was done,
and therefore declared defeat.
There once was a Sackboy from the Port,
whose wang was exceedingly short.
When he jumped into bed,
his wife said, “Now Ned,
this isn’t a wang it’s a wart.”
There once was sackboy who was bored.
LittleBigPlanet he much adored.
While waiting for Water,
he thinks that he oughta
save for a PSP which he can’t quite afford.
There once was a Sackboy who tried
To turn into Jekyll & Hyde
He worked out the kinks
Then slept forty winks
And woke up to go far and wide
There once a Sackboy that sighed
His latest building project had died
The textures were messed up
The pixels screamed wassup!
“I should have bought a PS3!” he cried.
