Image Importing Is In LittleBigPlanet
The above image is from Media Molecule’s Flickr account. While Sony says that image importing won’t be coming anytime soon, it seems that Media Molecule already had the feature finished for the game.
Hopefully the release of this photo will prompt Sony to allow MM to release the patch, but we’ll see.

Animal Crossing: City Folk is overpriced
Nintendo in an effort to get casual gamers to like Animal Crossing have invented Wii Speak to go with it. Which is basically a microphone that sets on top of your TV. This is not to be confused by the soon to be announced Wii See. Okay so I made that up but it’s coming.
Why couldn’t Nintendo combine a camera and microphone into one product?
Anyway the price on Animal Crossing: City Folk is outrageous at $69.99, plus I always thought Nintendo typically bundled hardware for free with games, (with the exception of Wii Fit) but their new found popularity has voided that belief.
That’s twenty dollars for a cheap corded microphone!
In other news, Sony is bundling their first party bluetooth headsets with SOCOM: Confrontation for $59.99.
a note on the littlebigplanet delay
As you may or may not know, LittleBigPlanet was delayed one week because a Muslim video game forum/group said that a song in LBP’s soundtrack called Tapha Niang by Toumani Diabate was terrible because it contained lyrics from the Qu’ran and according to the Muslim religion, the Qu’ran and music aren’t meant to be together.
This has caused Sony to delay the game a week so that they can patch the game and either remove or censor the song. The song is really good and it’s a bummer that it may not be featured in the game now. The worst part of this mess is how easily Sony felt they were in the wrong to upset some Muslims with some song lyrics.
Sony should not have removed the song from the game and it’s incredible how easily they were swayed into doing so. If the Muslim group didn’t want to play LittleBigPlanet because of the song then they should have just not purchased the game.
Oh well.
