  * To use him you will need to purchase him from the Playstation Store.

Is he a beginner or intermediate player?

wow this is great ……..pah!!!! is this a desperate attempt to convert the international players of LBP over to EGWT to boost numbers and worse still he hates the rain!!!!! arggggggggghhhh!!! , prepare for soggy sackboy!!!!

thanks EGWT for this major comeback!!!!???!!! *sob*

Oh yeah the news from the Playstation blog today says that, I guess I don’t need to cover it anymore now. Like I said now they have synced up on updates, it will probably roll out at around the same times.

---

yeah but at least minna is not rain infested 🙁

---

Was this really the update they were saying would change things?

---

no i dont think so, and i have since contacted them about that explaining that yes sackboy is now to sony what mario is to nintendo, i can see an influx of new kids getting the game because of this, and more so with the reduced price.

but this does not look after the hardcore golfers , still have trial cups and hours between rainy novice tours…..
