Oh just the first game? Was concerned for a moment.... All the LBP1 User levels are playable in LBP3 so I assume no user content will be lost at all.

Damn, any explanation given? Not being able to share your creations and play people's stages takes away a good chunk of LBP's charm.

Probably because literally no one in Japan plays LBP, the first one did quite bad but after that....

I wonder if this means people in the West won't be able to get access to the Japanese creations? They're some of the best out there.

I would think people will just take them down and re upload them in the other regions for the best of the content to be had, was rather worried about this since I love the LBP game on the Vita and PS3 but the created content both using it and uploading it is a part of the joy of those games. Sad they sold so poorly in Japan.
