The new Creator Pack content for the PS3's awesome 'Little Big Planet' contains a news "Infinite Lives" checkpoint object that you can use in your own custom levels. This is a nice gift to players that find parts of your creations a little too difficult to survive.

Even better, developers Media Molecule have provided an explanation of the checkpoint in this hilarious video.

Keep watching. This would be the level from hell:

I'm gonna use the infinite life checkpoint for every checkpoint in my levels, so the player only leaves the level when they feel like it rather than being booted out: in which case they probably won't restart.

  Sackboy gets 'Street Fighter' costumes this week!

'Street Fighter's' Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and Zangief are coming to the PS3's 'Little Big Planet'. Well, in costume format. According to the PlayStation blog, the costumes should be available for sale on the PlayStation Store, this week (12/11).

Sadly, the costumes are about $2 each, or you can buy all four for six bucks.

I'm a total sucker for the things... whatever the cost. Hopefully some free holiday ones will appear soon (the free Kabuki costume was out last week).

  Possible PlayStation Network hack?

Yikes!

I was just discussing with a co-worker that I have never been afraid to use my credit card info on any of my consoles, especially my PS3. So, wouldn't-you-know-it, the rumor that the PSN network might have been hacked pops up on Wired's blog.

I'm running home to change my settings!

  My game column: Why Sony's PlayTV looks cool and is doomed

In my column this past weekend, I looked at Sony's determination to make the PS3/PSP combo the ultimate home media device in the universe.

The latest addition to the package is the so-called PlayTV, a devices that lets you turn your PS3 into a TiVo-like device to view and record live TV, and then stream that live or recorded television over Wi-Fi to your PSP, a la Slingbox.

The BBC has a nice writeup of the PlayTV with a cool video (PlayTV is scheduled to come out in Europe first this year, with the U.S. and Japan presumably following).

I am as entranced by this tech as any of you, but I just don't see a lot of gamers shelling out the cash for an expensive peripheral that either duplicates a gadget they already own (TiVo or other DVR) or a gadget that has yet to hit mainstream success (Slingbox).

Like I said, though, I'm certainly intrigued.
