Sackboy popping up in random places!

Most people walk into a shop and leave after spending more than they wanted, or indeed, needed to.

This must've been our lucky day.

We walked into John Lewis to use up some vouchers, without realising they actually had a selection of games. I thought I already landed a bargain when I spotted Too Human for £9.99, so I bought that and Eye Training for a grand total of £7.50.

Then, we spotted Sackboy displayed on a huge, 50-odd inch Sony TV on the way out. It was a Sony Camcorder live feed of a little figurine. WOOT - The gadgets AND the figurine!

They had some other Little Big Planet promo posters displayed. It looks like they're finally driving for some mainstream exposure and what better venue than, er, John Lewis. With no faith in their knowledge of the video game products they were selling, I grabbed the nearest sales assistant and asked him if he knew anything about Little Big Planet.

"Actually, I know everything about it!" - He was wearing a Little Big Planet T-shirt.

And he was Sony guy, floating around to promote the game. Sheepishly, we asked whether they were selling the figurine and before we knew it, we were walking away with two t-shirts and the figurine above, for free.

After some browsing, I wonder whether these are the Shopto.net pre-order offers that were pulled by Sony a few weeks ago.
