If there’s one PS3 title on the market that deserves a Game of the Year edition, it’s LittleBigPlanet. Its ‘Play, Create, Share’ concept has stimulated the creation of more than 1,000,000 user-generated levels within a thriving online community, giving Media Molecule’s physics-based platformer almost limitless longevity.

For those of you who have yet to be sucked in by Sackboy, a GOTY variant will arrive on September 8th priced at $59.99, as per the US PlayStation Blog (unfortunately, little is known about a UK release date or price at this time).

"So, what's included?" we hear you cry. Well, 18 level creators have been hand-picked by Media Molecule to each design an exclusive bonus level specifically for the disc – that’s 18 brand new levels! Further to that, $30 worth of DLC from the PlayStation Store has been bundled in, such as the Metal Gear Solid, Monster and History packs. We even found some video footage for you. 

If that wasn’t enough, the GOTY edition will also offer a unique voucher code that will allow you to participate in the approaching ModNation Racers Online Beta, a ‘Play, Create, Share’ racer scheduled for release in 2010.

Sounds like a pretty good deal, in our opinion.
