The latest LittleBigPlanet update should fix the one thing about the game that really gets on our nerves.

If, like us, you've played LBP extensively and collected a ton of community items, you'll most likely have had numerous play sessions interrupted by a freezing screen (usually mid jump) as a message pops up telling you that your profile is full and prompting you to delete photos and objects.

The problem with this is that even after you've deleted all of the community items attached to your profile the same message keeps popping up repeatedly - it's a real annoyance that can spoil what's otherwise a wonderful experience.

This should finally be fixed by the upcoming Cornish Yarg (?) update. Below the movie (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=211914) you'll find the full list of fixes and new features, via the PS Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/03/26/sack-it-to-me-the-cornish-yarg-edition/).

This update addresses several outstanding issues with the game:



There is a new music player which lets player's choose their own music from the XMB to play during create mode and in their Pod
Improved decoration mode makes it easier to customize your Sackboy
New options to help prevent profiles becoming full of unwanted community objects:
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
Various LittleBigStore improvements


We don't yet have a fixed release date for this update, but it has now finished primary development so won't be too much longer. Additional fixes, particularly for online connection reliability and save game/profile size problems are already well into development and we'll bring you more news on that just as soon as possible.
