Look here it is, in the box:
Note the cunning use of the Rexbox knight logo that has sneaked onto the disc, and is about 4 times larger than the Sony logo next to it, mhahaha.
Anyway, so now you should be able to buy the game pretty much anywhere - and although I would say this, I hope you do, because its a really fun game and more than that, it's been designed so that anyone can build and share their own levels and enviroments in the game with the rest of the world (well, the rest of the world that has a PS3 and a net connection).
I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone makes - because its been a long time since it was possible to really make games in your bedroom (I once made a very ambitious cyberpunk RPG with my friend Richard on the Amiga written in AMOS, with a disturbingly realistic death animation of your character slipping around in their own blood. Ah, happy days.) So I'm really hoping with this game we'll see the same kind of mad creativity you used to get back in the 80's when people used to make games about stuff that interested them, no matter how small and mundane or surreal and fantastical - rather than just rehashing what sold quite well last season.
Here's a few examples of fun stuff people have made so far (as its already just been released in USA and Japan)
Kaneda's bike from the Akira movie.
A music video using the tilt-controller and automatic lip-synch.
A car that plays Sweet Child O Mine as you drive.
A cardboard remake of Gradius.
A very topical election level.
A Joker costume.
Plus 1000s of fun levels that you just have to play to enjoy. The mad thing is everytime I turn on my PS3 theres hundreds more to play, it's a constant distraction and it's ruining my life. But in the best possible way!
And if you make anything with LittleBigPlanet, let me know - I want to see :)

Beautiful game and outstanding graphic design throughout. Love *all* the little stickers. Although not as much as I love the fact you snuck the Rexbox knight logo on to the disc. T'was all too easy!
Bravo Rexbox!
Oh yes and whilst I'm applauding - latest showreel is superb.
Someone also made a working 8-bit electronic calculator - http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/10/09/working-calculator-m.html
yay! horrah for little big planet... and of course you for great amounts of worky animated illustrative stuff... you are currently featuring in my dissertation :) to prove a very valuable point no less...
Hi Rex
Great work on LBP. I wondered who did all those lovely graphics and now I know.
I made a level in the game for Christmas. Have a look if you want. Hardly anyone else has. (My user name is Hillock) In fact the first comment I got was that my level was frustrating. Bah! I tried my best.
Anyway, keep up the good work. It's brightened my day.
