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.

who had one too many beers and got too loose
he woke up feeling real hot
with his head sticking out of a pot
and he is now served at the pub as a “goose and juice”

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 9:37 PMThere once was a Sackboy too right,
His wrinkles gave the ladies a fright,
He loved a good curry,
But this wasn’t one sorry,
Now the back him’s covered with shite.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 9:38 PMThere once was a sackboy who could
Build anything out of wood
But he forgot to fix a wire
and a spark caused a massive fire
so now he’s ash-eating moth food

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 10:09 PMThere once was a Sackboy in need
A victim of false imprisonment, indeed
On the PS3, he was stuck
But with a little winner’s luck
On the PSP, I could help him be freed.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 10:20 PMThere once was a sackboy called troy,
who thought he could be a real boy,
he jumped from his pixels,
but caught on some fabric that tickles,
and now hes a childs toy.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:04 PMThere once was a Sackboy named Graham,
Who lived and revelled in mayhem,
His idol was a man named Ellis,
Who’s day job was to rid us of a menance,
But was banned from helping us kill them.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:20 PMThere once was a Sackboy called Ray
Who awaited MW2 to play
“I’ll boycott!!” he cried
When no servers were spied
Yet he went on and played anyway
Marcus
Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:33 PMThere was once a Sackboy who wanted something very dearly indeed.
Mind you, not out of greed,
But out of love for his doppelganger.
Sadly, he was caught in such a stinger
Then in the end he couldn’t even get his feed.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:34 PMThere once was a Sackboy named Liam
Who lived in a sackboy museum
“So many items” he mused
“To keep me amused”
Now he’s gone AWOL; you seen ‘im?

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:44 PMThere once was a sackboy from Mars
Keeping little humans in his big jars
He threw in the dirt
giving all of them skirts
But his friends called it a Big Little Farce

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 12:12 AMThere once was a sackboy from Barbados
Who used to be filled with potatoes
But he came alive and broke free
Onto the PS3
And now he’s why XBOX fans hate us.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 12:20 AMThere once was a Sackboy observer
Who noticed a lack of dedicated servers
He declared CoD 6
To be worth nothing but sticks
And returned to EA the preservers

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 1:11 AMThere once was a sackboy from Perth
Who began to exclaim ‘What on earth!’
His modded console was not working
And the maker was smirking
So he invested in something of worth…

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 1:30 AMThere once was a sackboy from Nantucket,
Who’s story – you’d much rather duck it,
The rude stories are old,
They’re not all that bold,
It should no longer be called a nugget.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 1:40 AMThe once was a sackboy competition
That everyone entered in anticipation
But what they didn’t know
Which was a huge blow
This competition was just pure fiction
Steven Bogos
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 1:48 AMThere once was a Sackboy named David
And on a great website he laboured
We made lots of posts
Annoyed him the most
But he never got frustrated

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 2:13 AMThere once was a Sackboy who made
A new way for games to be laid.
A new kinda platformer,
Hot as a Chicken Korma
“It’s Game of the Year!”, so they ‘sayed’.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 3:40 AMThere once was a Sackboy plushie
Who fell in the toilet and said dont “flush me”
Mum Saw something brown,
She got a big frown,
And I never saw him again, trust me!
Robert Robinson
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 4:40 AMThere was a sackboy name Psp,
who always wanted a friend,
but people did not like his hardware,
until one day he saw a Ps3,
now they remote play

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 8:15 AMThere was a SackPERSON called Janet
“Sackboy” is sexist – let’s ban it
The sex of the creatures
depends on the features
you give them in Little Big Planet

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 9:01 AMThere once was a sackboy called hackfoy
Who used and sold drugs as his employ
So before he got maimed,
his friends all exclaimed
“You really should stop smoking crack boy.”

Trent Gore
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 9:41 AMThere once was a Sackboy named Ted,
who said “Is PSP gaming not dead?”,
He looked up at his Totem,
For this Sackboy was but a scrotum,
“I guess I’ll play xbox instead!”

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 10:24 AMThere once was a sackgirl named Rose
Who picked a loose thread from her nose
She soon felt dim-witted
For since she was knitted
She unraveled right down to her toes!
Samuel Wilson
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 10:45 AMThere once was a sackboy named Rum,
Who liked to have a bit of fun.
He was out one night,
He got into a fight,
But was no match for a gun.
