Working Calculator Created in LittleBigPlanet 142
jamie pointed out a really impressive creation from the LittleBigPlanet beta. The game allows the creation of puzzles from a collection of simple objects and tools. A player called upsilandre used 610 magnetic switches, 500 wires, 430 pistons, and a variety of other objects to create a functioning calculator that will do decimal/binary conversions as well as addition and subtraction. The creation does well to illustrate the potential for amazing creativity in level design. Another user recently designed a level to play the Final Fantasy X theme song. LittleBigPlanet is almost finished and set to be released later this month, though the controls may be refined in a future patch. We recently discussed a student level-design event at the Parsons New School for Design and Technology.

Some of the most creative games on the PS3 are only available for download from the Playstation Network.
Have a look into the following:
Pixeljunk Eden
flOw
Everyday Shooter
Echochrome
They're my favourites, anyway. I'm also looking forward to Flower, made by the same group as flOw.

I remember a while back someone made something like this in doom out of dummy players, conveyer belts, and doors. Absolutely nothing new, but fun to play with none-the-less :)

I think taking out the PS2 compatibility was a bad idea, that said there's plenty of 80GB MGS4 models out there and plenty of compatible models in the used market. But one of the biggest selling points, besides the PS3 games, the PS2 games, the multimedia stuff, the PSP integration, was this:
I can dual boot between Linux and GameOS functions as I desire.
