No console maker ports their internally developed and exclusive games to a competing console.
The only thing I can think of that comes kind of close is Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise for the DS made by Rare. I believe that was only made because MS doesn’t consider the DS competition for anything in their space. They also allowed an Age of Empires game on that platform.

Yeah, LBP is one of the PS3s defining titles. There’s no way they’d port it to another console.
It’s also just handing over tons of cash to your competition. For dev kits, licensing and then a cut of the sales.
I’d tell people to rent LittleBigPlanet first. It was the first game I bought on my PS3, and I regretted it. I’m not saying you probably won’t love it. If Qt3 is any indication, you’ve got a pretty good chance of liking the game, but it’s not a slam dunk for everyone either. MSUSteve and I aren’t the only ones who didn’t care for the physics and “feel” of the game. However, if that part works for you, you’ll love the game, because I can’t deny it is utterly charming.

For those of you who enjoy the odd collectible card game now and then, WOTC is giving away free Magic decks. One per person per household.
Thanks to SlickDeals for the heads-up.
If they send it out. Last time they had a deal like that (for some Star Wars minis), more people got stiffed than got anything.
Still, it could be a nice surprise in two months time, by which point we’ll probably have forgotten all about it.
Me too. One to my grad school address, one to my permanent home, one to my little brother in college which I’ll be staying at in a couple months, and one to my best friend nearby. Heh.

Intellivision (Mattel) ported several of their original first party games to Atari VCS using the “M Network” label. They changed the titles, though (e.g., Astrosmash became Astroblast).

Somehow a bunch of Saturn ports of psx games came out like wipeout and maybe destruction derby when they were very much psx defining titles. Still that was 1995, I think it had to do with psygnosis’ contract. It’s not at all “asstastic” to keep your system defining titles to yourself especially in a time when every third party game is cross platform.
Microcenter’s in-store deal of the day is the 360 version of 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand for $20.

You forgot to add, “-or die trying!”
Newegg has Far Cry 2 for $18 on PC and $25 for 360. Also, Amazon’s got FEAR 2 on sale: $35 for PC, $44 for X360 & PS3.
Sold if my local Microcenter actually has it.
Edit: Do you have a link or anything for that Rock8?
