LittleBigPlanet hits the PSP today. We’ve got two LittleBigPlanet PSP bundles to give away. But only if you can make us laugh.
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.)
There’ll be two draws, one for today and Friday and a second one for the weekend. You’ve got until midnight tomorrow to get your entry in for the first draw. Then stay tuned for the opening of the second draw at 10am Saturday, where we’ll also announce the first winner. Got that?
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.

Who heard a mysterious call
a ledge, he jumped over,
into a waiting flame-thrower
And now he’s a sack fireball

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 12:09 PMThere once was a Sackboy who could
Play, create, share, if you would
He could run left or right
Even Jump, swim? and fight
Do anything, but couldn’t get wood.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:42 PMHmmm… Still nothing to say 1 post so what the hell!
There once was a sackboy in bed
As his skin had gone spotty and red
I went in to the poppit
to see if I could stop it
And made him blue burlap instead

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 4:02 PMAnd this couldn’t have been said earlier because….? To be fair, I waited almost 8 hours with people constantly asking wether 1 or more entry was allowed.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:43 PMThere once was a sackboy in space
Who’s rare spacesuit took pride and place
But now not so pleased
It’s been re-released
And he sees spacesuits all over the place
Bitter? Me?

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:45 PMThere once was a sackboy named Bert
who’s feelings were ever so hurt
For he came to this land
A little later than planned
And missed out on a week one shirt
Crono
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:46 PMThere once was a sackgirl who was
swept off her sackfeet because
in the level it said
Oh, let us be wed
And on Kotaku it caused such a fuss
Crono
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:46 PMThere once was a sackboy like me
who wanted to swim in the sea
So began a long wait
for the new water update
But he died of old age. R.I.P.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 3:48 PMThere once was a sackboy so sad
Free content, no longer to be had
New free stuff we’re told!
but it’s just reposted old…
Not gifts sir? Have we been bad?

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:22 AMThere once was a Sackboy who would marry
His wife was an Ugg Boot called Carrie
They made little Sack Boots with love
Until she gave birth to a glove
So he punched his glove friend named Larry

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:23 AMThere once was a joyous sackboy,
whos creepy smile filled us with joy,
He’s bold, and brave, and small and brown brown,
But alas we are still waiting to watch him drown,
Bouyancy void on this little toy.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:26 AMThis is such a great bundle. And such a great competition. Thought i’d give it a try.
There once was a Sackboy…
Kids thought he was a toy
They threw him around
He went straight to the ground
And found yet another to annoy
Lance McDonald
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:26 AMThere once was a sackboy from Sony,
Whose hand-held adventure was lonely,
With ad-hoc lacklustre,
And no infrastructure,
The reviewers called this title “phony”
Lance McDonald
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:08 AMThere wasn’t anything mentioned about 1 entry per person, I noticed. Not sure if this is ok, but here’s another for your consideration:
There was was a Sackboy who died,
But, upon respawn, he learned he could fly,
He then realized ‘Create Mode’
Had freedom by the boat-load,
But the online-create patch? Denied!
My limmerics are all about missing features, but I do love the game.
Lance McDonald
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 5:13 PMI see you’ve added the thingie about “One entry per person”. I might just re-submit my second idea for the second round of entries on Saturday, or see if I can come up with anything better, heh.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:29 AMThere once was a Sackboy and Sackgirl
But when she got near he would hurl
Some work with his Popit
She couldn’t stop it
Now watch the romance unfurl
FinalAtomicBuster
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:30 AMThere once was a Sackboy from Australia
Who entered a comp for paraphernalia
He wanted to win
But before he’d begin
He realised his rhymes were just failure

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:32 AMThere once was a Sackboy who live in my lounge room
I used to wake up and adventure with him until noon
He now has a new home in the palm of my hand
Where he and I adventure as I sit in the sand
I hope walking and adventuring will not lead to my doom

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:35 AMThere once was a Sackboy
Who was known as a whack boy
Though still called by all a gentlemen
He got bored of his friends and beheaded them
And now he’s a Hungry Jack’s boy
El Phantasmogoro
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:38 AMThere once was a sackboy of virtue,
unlike your dad, he’d never hurt you.
sent from above,
he’s stuffed full of love,
his cuteness will surely convert you.
Ps my dad is cool and wasn’t abusive… unless it wins me the prize. If that’s the case, he used to whip me to sleep with a car aerial.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:38 AMThere once was a Sackboy who was stuck.
Between a wall and a truck
He took a deep breath.
Then exploded to death.
And magically he respawned unstuck.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:48 AMHahaha, this is awesome.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:39 AMThere once was a Sackboy all blue
Who looked like he escaped from the zoo
He dressed like a parrot
and ate a big carrot
And people thought it was true!
Wow that was lame… anyway…!

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:46 AMThere once was a Sackboy named Fred,
who dated a Sackgirl named Ned.
They could not give a Jack,
for they are both made of sack,
So they designed a level that looks like a bed.
Alex Daniel
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:53 AMThere once was a Sackboy who lived in a pod,
He lived there with sackgirl and played with her bod,
When his sack got ripped open,
He got dumped and heart broken,
Never again to blow his wad.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:53 AMThere once was Sackboy named Stan
Who had some trouble being a man
He wore a cape and high heels
And drove a Ute with big pink wheels
And soon Stan became a tran

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:55 AMThere once was a Sackboy named Con
He once had a Solid Snake hat on
They saw through the box
And killed the old fox
Now they just call him Old Don

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:55 AMThere once was a Sackboy from Sony,
Whose level looked like a Pony,
But while playing with his friends
Two of them came to an end
So now Mr. Sackboy is lonely
Sl4y
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 10:55 AMThere once was a Sackboy from Sony,
Who wanted to ride the white pony.
But a large skateboard,
Was all he could afford.
So instead he stays home and gets stoney.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:00 AMThere once was a sackboy in Rome
Who found he looked more like gnome
To people’s gardens he’d go
And stomp hard on their toe
And while jumping he’d ransack their home
Brent Harrison
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:00 AMThere was a sackboy named Michael,
who thought banning games was delightful,
Until one day,
Voters sent him away,
By electing his political rival.

Awesome.
I stopped scrolling down at this point, and decided I’d not even try because, frankly, there’s SO many good ones on the first page alone!
I have no idea how you’re going to actually choose a winner Mr. Wildgoose.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:03 AMThere was once a Sackboy named Bill,
He always had the urge to kill,
Walked upto his friend Ted,
And ripped off his head,
Then he told his friends to Chill

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:10 AMThere once was a Sackboy from Sony
In a game that i’d love, but you know me
I spent all of my dough
On his competitor, Mario!
At Least my platforming nights are less lonely
Costy
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:12 AMThere once was a Sackboy named Jase,
A Sackgirl beat him in a race,
As his anger grew,
He held down L2,
And smacked that b**ch in the face.
Connor
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:12 AMThere once was a sackboy in a game
I’m sorry but that’s just his name
A sackboy there was
There was just because
how and why might now drive you insane
thistler
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:16 AMThere once was a sackboy that looked shabby
When the monks let him play with a tabby
He pulled at a thread
And looked downwards with dread
As his gizzzards spilled out on the abbey

Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 12:26 PMcan I make as many as I like?
there once was a sackboy called Busey
who ran around town with a flusey

with pin eyes underneath
and was cooler than crazy tom cruisey
