Hooray! For all those who managed to snag a copy of LittleBigPlanet early, you’ll be pleased to know that the game’s online servers have been officially turned on. That means all promised online features, such as the ability to share user-created levels with friends, are now accessible.

Numerous retailers in North America are receiving their shipments today, so be sure to give your local GameStop or EB Games a call as there is a good chance you’ll be able to secure a copy. Meanwhile, our friends over in Europe will have to endure yet another week of waiting.
