I reserved it from gamestop today and asked them if they knew the date. They said it was listed in their computers as October 8.

TheDoomer

@gaijira: were probably not talking about the same europe, but in the europe I live in it would be 10th of the 21st month 2008...

@hodayathink: I like neo-noir lesbians: Take intro to stats, I think like every 28 people share 1 birthday contrary to the 1/365. It's one of those first day bits the professor tosses out to try and get you engrossed in the world of stats.

Punkateer

I can only hope that this is when this game comes out. I've been really looking foward to it, although I'd probably just be playing levels instead of creating them.

Chuco

@HaydenTenno: I don't know man, walking out of the store with 2 games, god forbid 3, makes me feel... dirty.

hotdamn

BTW a public beta (sort of) might be comming by september.
Not sure cuz there is no other source, but this is supposed to be commin' from Alex Evans.

@Arsenicberyllium:

For GTA4 They only had the Month and year for release. For this they have the Full date. So i think it's safe to assume that it's going to be this date

Craig-VN-Gossman

So your birthday is the day before mine. I've got like 5 friends born in the three weeks between Oct 14 and Nov 5. What is it about the cold of January/early Feb that makes people want to cozy up together?

hodayathink: I like neo-noir lesbians

God damn that little ragdoll is cute....I have to put money down on that thing pronto.

jenovasilver

@hotdamn: Oh crap, you're right. I think there's like 3 games coming out that day, which all have potential. There goes a nice chunk of change.

HaydenTenno

@sascha23: Just because Sony confirmed a month doesn't mean the date Target chose is right.

When I went to pick up Devil May Cry 3 SE when it first came out, the guys working there first claimed it didn't exist, and then said it wouldn't be coming out until two months later.

In an odd turn of events, I actually had to go to a Gamestop to get a new release.

Arsenicberyllium

@Raiden218: I got the impressions it was a PSN game simply because of its look. It just didn't look like it couldn't be downloaded.

But it's true, I can't remember ever having seen it called a PSN title - either way, I'm most pleased to be able to pick up a hard copy.

A goddamn cryin' shame I'll have to import from Europe when I decide I want hard a disc-and-case setup for Quest for Booty and Siren: Blood Curse.

Chances

@icegoat: In fact they did talk about a PSN release when the game was first showed, it was also announced as BR release.
As the developpement went on, they happend to change their minds and made it a proper Blu-ray, maybe a disk space issue.

First level am gonna make is the original Mario Bros, with enemies commin' from the pipes at the top.
Not sure if i will be able to reproduce all the mecanics, but i'll sure try.

The_monk

Thats creepy my birthday is 10/22 as well. 21 here i come.

smuckers is good

@gaijira: HA! so true.

awwyeadatsright

No way. Target doesn't ever internally have any kind of accurate dates for anything. Remember when they had Dark Sector in the ad for the week it was originally supposed to be released-- after it had been OFFICIALLY delayed more than three months prior? Trusting Target for release dates is about as reliable as making a fortune cookie out of feces.

wild homes desires a pudding!

@Arsenicberyllium:

Considering Sony confirmed that it's coming in October, I think it's safe to assume the card is correct.

sascha23

@liquid_kore:

I'm not sure where you got the impression that it's a PSN game?

Raiden218

@Arsenicberyllium:
My nearest Best Buy had them for Twilight Princess 3 years before it came out. It's a way of selling you the pre-order, because consumers don't want to buy a product with no release date.

RageKage

I could've sworn the release date was October 7th.

mfwahwah

I can't wait for this game, but I'm not getting my hopes up these days. When I do, Sony pushes the game back.

PapaBear434

@Arsenicberyllium: @icegoat: Huh, totally thought it was a PSN game. Not sure what gave me that impression, but thanks for the correction.

liquid_kore

this is interesting because amazon is showing the same release date, but regardless they both could have missed the target

shichi

I think the date is actually in wacky Euro format, so the release will really be August 22, 2010.

Home should come out a few years later I'd imagine.

gaijira

@M-26-7: check the new trailer, says 21st of october. I was surprised too.

hotdamn

@Dorgon: no, your deadline passed on the 12th of june. where were you? :>

hotdamn

@hotdamn: I thought Dead Space was Halloween

M-26-7

Dammit console game makers! That's right around midterms! And once again its looking to be ANOTHER strong gaming year. We had Bioshock, Portal, Halo 3, RB last year.
This year: GTA4, MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, Force Unleashed.
Right now seems to be a good time to be a gamer.

trogam

@liquid_kore: pretty sure LBP is a blu-ray game. looking forward to it, need more of these creative and unique IP's.

icegoat

So this is my deadline for buying a PS3?

Dorgon

@liquid_kore: Little Big Planet was, and is, conceived as a full disc release title from the start.

They may have made it a PsN game(I miss a lot of news), but it's always been a Blu-Ray game first and foremost.

Arsenicberyllium

Double the meh, I'll believe it when its on my ps3 hard drive -just like Home, Wipeout, Killzone etc.

Punkateer

*Release date subject to change.

Goatfish

I'm confused, they made a reservation card for a PSN game?

liquid_kore

Same day as Dead Space. ... ugh.

hotdamn

Ahh news (or lack there of?)

immikeulate

Meh. I saw these at my local Target.

They don't mean anything.

They had them for GTA IV, too, for over a year before the game came out.

The date on it changed every month.

Arsenicberyllium

In that case, i'll be camping out to get mines. Well maybe not, but hopefully that's the official date.

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

@Andronix: American and European month formatting systems are different, genius.

Arsenicberyllium

10/21/2008 ?

that doesnt make sense.
So they are going to release it on the 10th day of the 21st month of 2008? There are only 12 months a year.

Andronix

Aamazon.com says the same thing, Gamestop.com says October 7th and the target card says the release date is subject to change. We'll see but I wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong since October 21st is 3 months away.

Replica23

I don't know why I haven't reserved this yet. I need to go do that today. If I had to wait past release day, I'd cry myself to sleep until I got to play. Most anticipated title in a LONG time for me.

Morphie

Its 10/22 street date. 10/8 must be the date they get it from the warehouses.

fatez

Franchise store release date - could be a placeholder, etc.

fuchikoma

This game finally makes me want a PS3, too bad I can't afford a 360 let alone a PS3 :(

z0phi3l

Hopefully

Murderdolls

It would be bad ass if there was a company that manufactured your very own sackboy as a plushie...

Maybe that's too much to ask for... -_-;;

Although the person who did that would eventually to buy their own small island in Europe. :)

xMaverick

@Arsenicberyllium: Yeahh... because LatinAmerica isn't America. We use different systems too

Chopper_Mike

"Does This Target Card Show LBP's Release Date"

After staring at it for about an hour. Doing some kind of forensic science. I have come to the conclusion that yes, yes indeed the card does have the release date on it. Which is a Tuesday BTW.

vidgmr

Three months from now, eh?

Gotta try not to get too excited...

StevenRafael

On my birthday?

CURSE YOU SONY! Wait, maybe this means I'll be getting a PS3 (finally) for my b-day!

OmegaX123

Sounds good to me..My son will be born around that date so LBP has to be finished before that.

enewtabie

I know it's lame, but I need that card. It would make me happy to have that card.

Mavwick

I work at Target, and I know for a fact that these aren't even supposed to be on the floor yet...

papercube

Guess we'll find out in 93 days then...

silkwood-scrubdown

Wow talk about a birthday present. Hope it turns out great.
=D Go LBP!

kadosho

@smuckers is good: mines 22/10 also but I'll be 30.
I really doubt that this is the actual release date though, I would love it to be as I've asked my girlfriend for it as a present. I'm reckoning the 24th is more likely.

cakester

Buuh...

My birthday's also October 22nd. I think I can just toss this link over to my wife and let her figure it out ;)

Inzoum

can't wait!

everybest

@gaijira:
Care to place a bet on LBP coming out on that date? or you just trolling around?

enewtabie

@enewtabie: he was probably ust joking!

BUT YES!!! C'mon LBP! Your the reason I'm getting a PS3!!

excel_excel

Sweet jumping jesus, this game isn't out yet? I haven't been really following it, but I feel like I've been hearing about it and reading impressions of it for over a year now...

tk.

Seriously now, I work at target..in electronics and our 'reservation system' sucks. The reservation cards we have for games are only giftcards. We put five dollars on them, and we put a little tally to keep track of how many reserves we have. So honestly, I would not trust us. Who knows, maybe we are right though. =]

Rflo1123

Oh man, if that's the official date I'll be so happy, it's a week after my birthday.

ircmaster

I had previously thought it was a PSN title, too. Until E3, actually.

So, he's not alone in this world of mystery...

ZombieRace

One day before your birthday? Its two days before mine. 23rd of october. awesome birthday present.
