LittleBigPlanet has been out for several months, and it has created quite a buzz through its vast downloadable content via the PlayStation Network. We have not seen a demo of the quirky platformer, yet. But according to Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule, we may finally see a demo hit the PSN, PS3center is reporting.
While we cannot confirm this report, Evans’ comment is quite interesting. He said, “...we labored a long time recently over the free demo we’ll be releasing shortly, and one of the reasons we didn’t release it beforehand was the question of how do you capture its essence, as you say?”
In the interview, Evans said LBP is fast approaching nearly two million user created levels. There are probably only a handful of PS3 owners who have not tried LBP, but a demo certainly feels long overdue. Perhaps a demo will stir interest for LBP on the PSP.

why a demo about a game that was released almost a year ago? Doesn't make any sense

I don't think this is stupid at all. There would be some people, maybe older, that haven't played the game. I got it when it was released and I think its a must own for anyone that likes to play games with friends on the couch. More people need to experience this game plus how many PS3's have sold since it was released, theres still a market for this game.

I can't see how they'll create a demo; they can't really include Story levels because that wouldn't work well, and I doubt they'll create some new levels specifically for the demo that owners of the game don't get access to - unless they release a free DLC with a few Media Molecule levels and use this as the demo. It would work well if they released a DLC that doesn't need the actual game to run, and it'll be a good way to advertise the game if gamers can download and play the DLC like a demo without owning the game.
The only other way I can see them apporoaching this is to give them a limited amount of user-created levels to try, informing the readers that they can create everything that they've just played if they buy the full game. How they'd limit the levels, I don't know: time/quantity? Maybe no limit. But if they do, they'll have to ensure they play some of the astounding levels rather than the half-assed ones that litter the PSN, but again, I can't see how they'd do this as taking the good levels to show off would mean there isn't much left to see should they purchase the full ganme.
Media Molecule have surprised me so far, I'll just have to wait and see...

I participated in the beta, which just like DF2 was enough to make me not consider the game.
