Media Molecule shows no signs of slowing the updates for LittleBigPlanet, as it details its busy DLC schedule for April and May.
Everything from gameplay-boosting patches to a list of Sackboy costumes are on the way. Here's the official list:
April 16th
Monkey King Costume: FREE
1.12 "Cornish Yarg" update: FREE This update addresses several outstanding issues with the game:
There is a new music player which lets players choose their own music from the XMB to play during create mode and in their Pod
Improved decoration mode makes it easier to customise your Sackboy
Option to delete all (unhearted) community objects and photos
Option to select whether to automatically collect community prizes and photos
A number of improvements have been made to make profiles more robust and to recover from certain errors
We now support Japanese and Korean IME for text chat.
Emitter prediction has been improved (this should help fast-moving projectiles e.g. in MGS levels)
The player proximity switch now has a 'require all' option in it
An option has been added to cycle between various level information when viewing community levels on the earth

Valkyrie costume: Valkyrie helmet and braids, Valkyrie jerkin and cape, Valkyrie boots
Cool. I like the sound of those free additions - especially the ability to play your own music and the global lighting doodah. I've always wondered when the latter would arrive as it would help give the levels more variety and character, such as it getting darker the closer you get to a boss, etc.
I'm in the process of doing a level for my 10 week old daughter, called Katie in Wonderland. I'll pepper the level with photo's of her as she grows up and hopefully show it to her in a few years.
I love the game i must admit, but i do wish we'd see more new levels DLC(like the metal gear one), rather than bloody costumes and stickers all the time.
I know there's loads of community levels out there to play, but you can't beat the properly designed story levels with trophies.
