PiposaruWant your very own Ape Escape Piposaru to show up in your LittleBigPlanet levels? You'll have to pre-order a copy of the Japanese release, out next week.

Pre-ordering will entitle you to a code you can redeem on the PlayStation Network, resulting in a cute little helmeted Sackmonkey. As a bonus, you'll get a real-life Sackboy keychain too.

No word on whether the Piposaru costume will later become available outside of the promotion, but it seems like a given that offering themed Sack Boy costumes as paid DLC -- I'm looking at you, Snake and Sephiroth -- is in Sony's best interest.
