Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The first themed pack is ready to touchdown on LittleBigPlanet. Metal Gear Solid downloadable content will soon be roaming the spongy surface of Sony’s hit game.
Sony Metal Gear Solid and LittleBigPlanet fans will – from today – be able to enjoy the crossover of both titles with the release of Metal Gear themed download packs for LPB.
Two themed packs will be available from the PlayStation Store
The following descriptions as taken from the PlayStation Blog . Prices are in US dollars.
Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack You’ve seen Solid Snake, but have you seen the rest of the cast? (well, ok…maybe you have… ) Meryl Silverburgh, Screaming Mantis & Raiden each have their own costumes from the MGS world. Get all 4 characters for the price of 3 at $5.99 on the PS Store, or pick your favorite and buy it individually for $1.99.
Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack Now that you know about our Festive Level Pack, which fills your Pop-it tool with a ton of “Create” materials, objects and stickers, our Premium Level Packs introduce that and a whole lot more. So without further adeu…lets talk about what’s inside the MGS Level Pack (and this time we mean “Level” pack…)
First off, you’ll get a new Sackboy costume… the Gurlokovich Soldier. Plus tons of new stickers (72), materials (12), decorations (10), and objects (18).
The objects are especially cool, why you ask…well, in addition to these ‘create’ materials, our Premium Level Packs include new Story Levels and they’re filled these new objects. That’s because, Media Molecule teamed with Konami to create 5 new Story Levels and 1 new Challenge Level for you to enjoy.
Now we couldn’t just build a level using the basic tools above, we need music, new sound effects, and new elements to provide a true MGS experience. So you’re getting these in the Level Pack, as well:
* 3 new background music tracks
* 1 new interactive music track
* 1 new Metal Gear Solid themed ‘sound object’
* New Plasma Ball ‘danger element’
* New Laser Sight ‘gadget’
* New functioning Searchlight lamp – for those special ‘exclamation mark’ moments
…and finally, the piece de resistance…THE PAINTINATOR (and Paint Switch)
Now, not only will you be able to run, jump, push, pull, swing, etc, etc in LBP, but now you’ll be able to splatter anything that comes between you and the end of any level. Once you equip the Paintinator, you can send sacksized paintballs flying by mashing on the R1 button and using the right stick to aim. Few things about flying paintballs, when Sackboys are hit with them, it feels like a very weak slap. You can also shoot ‘Brains’ from a safe distance and progress thru levels much easier. In addition to the Paintinator, we’re introducing a Paint Switch, so you can attach it to any object and set it to destruct after being splattered with enough paint. Here’s a video to show you the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack in action
