While Reeves told PS3 Fanboy that it would be possible to make money selling LBP creations using an "iTunes meets eBay system" it seem the truth may be a little less entrepreneurial.

A Sony Europe spokesperson speaking to Eurogamer said "SCEE and Media Molecule can guarantee that all consumer-generated content will be free at launch. We know how important this is to the LBP community and what we want most is for people to enjoy playing, creating and sharing their content"

"Obviously, we're also excited about the future and David was talking about how user-generated content could potentially evolve in the long term. Any decisions that are taken to evolve LBP in the future, will include the community and focus purely on enhancing the user experience."

LittleBigPlanet looks set to be a huge success after yet another impressive showing at the recent E3, the PS3 exclusive is due out in October too so not that long to wait.
