Wow, the guys over at PS3Fanboy have gotten quite the scoop.  It seems that in their talks with SCEE, they have uncovered an interesting feature to be included in the upcoming awesome-fest known as LittleBigPlanet.  The idea is that users would be able to charge for their content.

At first this is a bit scary, but the plan seems perfect.  As SCEE explains "once an individual or a developer has qualified by producing certain levels or certain add-ons, they will then be able in the future to exchange these and make money out of them."  That is perfect.  These guys need to prove themselves with free content.  Thus, the community is reaping some serious free levels out of these creative people.  Then, if your content is popular enough, you could charge for it.  It's not only a way of rewarding the best and the brightest, but also a way of encouraging people ot build levels.

I mean, who wouldn't build a level if it could bring them some cash?  Man, Sony always seems to take the box, get outside of it, and then crap on the box.  I mean, this is some cool stuff.  Here's hoping it makes it and isn't all pie in the sky.  Also, hope it doesn't delay development like a certain other project...  I'm looking at you Home.
