We toyed with the idea of just popping this into our Twitter feed but decided against it simply because this is just too good a deal to not shout from the rafters about.

UK online store Play have LittleBigPlanet for the pathetically low price of £17.99 / €23.49.

Of course, if you purchase in sterling from a Euroland country, you’ll see something like €19.30 appear on your credit card bill in a month’s time.

Check after the break for when this fantastic offer is going to end. Hint: go buy it first, then come back and find out when the sale is over.

Ok, so you probably had a bit more time than we suggested above. The sale ends this weekend at which point the game goes back to its normal price.

LittleBigPlanet is a tremendous game, and if you haven’t got it and were waiting for a ridiculous price for one of the highlights of 2008 from a gaming perspective, now you’ve no excuse whatsoever.
