Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition Collector's Pack

Sackboy escaped the screen. The Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition Collector's Pack on Playstation 3 comes in an oversized cardboard box containing the Game of the Year Edition of the game alongside a Sackboy plush that might be the most huggable piece of gaming merchandise ever produced. Media Molecule's creative platformer was already a PS3 system seller, and the GOTY Edition packed in all the community content and updates that made it a phenomenon.

But let's be honest. The plush is why we're here. That knitted-looking Sackboy with his stitched smile and zipper chest became an icon of PS3-era gaming, and having one bundled in-box with the definitive version of the game is the collector's ideal.

This edition was reportedly a Walmart exclusive, which means distribution was limited to a single retail chain and geographic availability was entirely dependent on what your local store decided to stock. That retail exclusivity, combined with the oversized cardboard packaging that rarely survives years of storage unscathed, makes clean complete copies increasingly difficult to source. Little Big Planet represents Sony's PS3 identity at its most charming and inventive, and this Collector's Pack is the version that captures that spirit in both digital and physical form.

The plush on your shelf next to the game on your shelf. That's the display. That's the collection.
