- Sackboy’s up there. 50 environments, all the tools to create your own content. Didn’t know anything about this, David.
- Video of Media Molecule levels.
- Little Killzone men in LBP. Windmills, trees, wheels. Woot.

“10 year lifespan” = “It’s gonna take that long before we rake back enough money to develop/launch PS4″
