We’ve seen some pretty amazing things come out of the LittleBigPlanet beta test so far, including yesterday’s amazing calculating sack boy squad. Wouldn’t it be a pity to lose all of that goodness in the name of making sure everyone was on level footing for launch? Right now the LittleBigPlanet news site is hosting a poll asking players both in and out of beta whether or not the user created content created so far should be completely flushed down the toilet once the game launches.
The votes have been tallied, and to my great surprise and dismay, the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows box art has been chosen by the fans themselves, and they chose…poorly. I suppose in all fairness the two choices we were presented weren’t all that great in the first place – it was either Spider-Man holding a dome-less snow globe or Spider-Man with concept art for arms. I was leaning towards the snow globe myself, but Wolverine and Venom together on one cover is kind of hard to resist.
Besides, when you’ve got as good of a game inside as I played at the Games Convention in Leipzig, you could ship it in a plain cardboard sleeve and I’d still be there on launch day to pick up the special corrugated edition.
