Gameplayer has spent two days with LittleBigPlanet and its Senior Product Manager, Nick Robinson, gaining plenty of insight into what gamers can expect. It includes a look at why the game would not work on Xbox 360, and goes on to suggest that its success may force Microsoft's hand regarding their policy on user-generated content.
"We broached the subject of the Xbox 360 with Nick and whether LittleBigPlanet could function as desired on the format: the answer was a disappointed shake of the head. Echoing thoughts we heard from Epic Games Mark Rein last year regarding the issues they faced with wanting mods available for the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament III (which subsequently resulted in a delay), and the frustration shown more recently by the developers of N+, Microsoft's Draconian – and frequently hypocritical (seems to be ok in Halo 3 and Forza 2) – restrictions on user-generated content is proving to the be Live's Achilles' Heel."
