I haven't quite got it neither. It looks really interesting but I question whether it will sell well. To me, it could be another Viva Pinata. Great game, great concepts, but many people may not relate.

the reason VP failed on xbox was not because of the game itself, the game is great, but with absolutely 0 hype and xbox's mininal casual market, it just didn't sell.

 

but LBP is different, with easy to make courses, I personally will go online weekly to download new tracks made by other people. I hope they have "Most popluar" list of new maps, Man, it'd be great.

 It's not like the PS3 has a huge casual market at the moment either.  None of Sony's big casual apps have dropped... and unless i'm wrong, none of them are going to drop until after LBP.
