It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Personally I feel that it's a bit too early to talk about the psp2 but I do see where you're coming from. Does Sony want to cut the middle man out entirely or do they want to have their games digital only? Really, I think one solution that they could do is actually put their games on memory sticks if people decide to buy them at retailers. Once they buy them that way the can either upload the game from the stick to the new psp or the could play off of it if it's at all possible. Other than that, I really don't know too much of what Sony is thinking about in regards to their PSP franchise. Will the Go! fail or succeed? Only time will tell. And regardless of whether you and I feel that this generation is ready for the generation only to rely on digital distribution isn't really for us alone to say.
The only reason i think it would be good for sony to do digital distribution would be to make games bigger than the 1.5 gigs that umd had. I hope they take some time thought and make sure it can't be pirated because that is what killed the last psp. As for beta testing for psp 2. I don't think thats what there doing. They need to majorly overhaul the psp before the release the psp 2.
I bet you anything Sony spends as much time as it takes to keep from the next PSP being hackable like they did with the PS3.
digital distribution is awesome. I am all for it!
huh!? wheres the second analog
