Friends join Old Snake in upcoming LBP costume pack

The cat's out of the bag. The Sony Hong Kong website has let slip details of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid LittleBigPlanet DLC. The content has grown substantially since we first saw Old Snake at TGS in October. He'll be joined by his buddies Meryl, Screaming Mantis and, if you buy the character pack, Raiden. Not only that but a level construction pack will also be made available. We have a feeling it'll include something quite surprising ...
There's no telling when these will be made available, or for how much, but we assume they'll be with us quite soon if they're already being listed on the Sony HK site. Would make a nice Christmas present during next week's Xmas Eve PSN Store update.

I might actually get this. And if the Sephiroth pack will be similar to that... 100% win!

I'm a MGS4 addict and a shameful LBP costume whore. This is better than sex for me :-D
The Aggie CEO @ Dec 17th 2008 9:46AM
I'll be getting this one.........
I hadn't even thought of getting one of the pay for costumes til now.......
as long as its less than $8 I'll get it.......
j.howlett @ Dec 17th 2008 9:47AM
this could be the first pack i am willing to pay for.
Hife @ Dec 17th 2008 10:00AM
Ditto... though I have been tempted to buy the chimera.
Gonzo @ Dec 17th 2008 10:40AM
Expect it all to be overpriced, everything else they charge for is.
Why are they still doing this?
Why is the first level content pack released based on another video game?
Didn't they take down a bunch of levels because they were based on other games?
I might've actually bought a construction pack (it could be more useful than the costumes) if we were allowed to share levels made with it.
j.howlett @ Dec 17th 2008 10:36AM
i've been tempted before to varying degrees for each pay costume pack.
Roto13 @ Dec 17th 2008 1:25PM
Gonzo: Considering the fact that you think this is the first LBP level pack, I guess that means you haven't heard about the Christmas level pack, priced at $2.99. That's not overpriced, considering all of the stuff that comes with it.
Dartmerc @ Dec 17th 2008 5:42PM
Gonzo probably doesn't own the game - the way he's talking it's like Mm are happy with and will keep the current moderation system. I mean sh!t dude, we're talking about a video game - if the fans and users demand a change, we'll get it. Stop sulking about how terrible everything is and just wait for the change.
Haohmaru @ Dec 17th 2008 10:02AM
I bet Metal Gear REX will be included as a vehicle in the level construction pack.
I am so getting this.
MBO @ Dec 17th 2008 10:36AM
screaming mantis looks COOOOL.
Zarlek @ Dec 17th 2008 10:41AM
I so hope the sephiroth pack follows suit like this would love to see cloud, aeris tifa etc!!!
helghast102 @ Dec 17th 2008 10:43AM

Tony Nibbles @ Dec 17th 2008 10:57AM
I *NEED* screaming mantis. Without doubt the coolest DLC so far. Bigger pics here:

prodigy_69 @ Dec 17th 2008 10:56AM
couldn't give a rats..
maybe more levels, then I'll get excited.
bvhj @ Dec 17th 2008 10:59AM
Oh wow... I really need to have some major self control to not cave in and buy this
grasslunatic @ Dec 17th 2008 11:42AM
wow this is the only one which has tempted me so far
Vincent @ Dec 17th 2008 11:27AM
Very nice, keep it at a 2,99 or, at most, 4,99 and we have a deal. No more overpriced packs (SF costume pack I'm looking at you)
Evan @ Dec 17th 2008 11:42AM
LBP game more game-related stuff than Home!
Home has areas for:
- Far Cry
- Uncharted
LBP has costumes based on:
- God of War
- Street Fighter
- Metal Gear Solid
Plus user-generated levels based on many more games.
Bagels PSN:WolfLogic @ Dec 17th 2008 1:29PM
Plus Heavenly Sword, Resistance/ R2, LocoRoco, and motorstorm. Quite a bit.
ryuk @ Dec 17th 2008 11:56AM
definitely getting this one
Deaddy @ Dec 17th 2008 12:40PM
I've been making a point of not paying for any of these overpriced costumes, especially the $1.99 ones. It's just way too much for a simple costume that doesn't even do anything, the Pain characters have animation and voices included for only .99 each. If this was just Snake for $1.99 I would try to resist. But all 4 of those characters? I think I have to bite. But I won't buy any more after that!
jbni @ Dec 17th 2008 1:25PM
I'm agreeing with the general consensus here. I haven't bought a single pack yet because I just don't think they've been worth it, but this is the one for me.
I love MGS4.
your_friend @ Dec 17th 2008 1:37PM
Great stuff. Personally, I dig those little costumes ;)
MexicanTerrorist @ Dec 17th 2008 3:11PM
Where's my Laughing Octopus costume, dammit!
slycooper_rocker (lorddshadow the amazing) [anti-panda death squadron force five] @ Dec 17th 2008 5:53PM
omg mantis and raiden look badass! and the level pack sounds good. definite buy for both.
ocdog45 @ Dec 17th 2008 10:40PM
i will be getting this.
