LittleBigPlanet 3 release date announced alongside adorable pre-order bonuses

Sony has announced that LittleBigPlanet 3 will be released for PS4 and PS3 on November 18, 2014. While most of you probably only care about when you can play as Sackboy and friends, LBP community coordinator Steven Isbell also revealed the bonuses you'll get for pre-ordering. And they are just presh.

So pre-ordering the game at "participating retailers," you will receive a Sackboy plush for free. And if you pre-order at Target, the Plush will come with an exclusive Target hat.

The Day 1 Edition of LBP 3 will come with a Dragon Age Costume Pack which equips the characters with a range of costumes based on BioWare's upcoming game. The Day 1 Edition also includes the PlayStation 4 The Players Pack which contains a variety of costumes based on various PlayStation characters including Nathan Drake from Uncharted and Delsin Rowe from inFamous: Second Son.

Also, depending on the retailer, purchasing LittleBigPlanet 3 for PS4 will net you a specific costume pack.

• GameStop: Mythical Creatures Costume Pack
• Best Buy: Hidden Creatures Costume Pack
• Amazon: PlayStation Favorites Costume Pack

Lastly, Sony has a special surprise for those of you who prefer to purchase LBP 3 digitally. If you buy the game for PS4 or PS3 through the PlayStation Store, you will get the LittleBigPlanet 3 T-Shirt Pack. And pre-ordering will give you Instant Access to it which means you will be able to download the shirt right away for use in LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and LittleBigPlanet Karting.

Sony notes that these pre-orders are for North America only, urging those in Europe to pay attention to the European PS Blog for additional announcements "coming soon."

Got all that?
