Little Big Planet getting Sonic Sackboys.

Although they don’t seem to be available yet on Sony’s US Playstation Network store, it appears that Sega’s cracked a little deal and there is now Sackboy costumes for some of your favorite and not-so-favorite Sonic characters! These include Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Knuckles, Werehog and Dr. Eggman Costumes. For the most part though, I’m simply curious how the licensing worked out on this one. In any case, this is a nice win for Sonic fans on the PS3 that play Little Big Planet. At least if you’re in the right region for now.

Holy shit… yes. Just in time for the Needlemouse hype (and Christmas), nerd-clothing outlet, Shark Robot, has put up a listing for a “Sonic Sprite Symbol” t-shirt. This black shirt features Sonic’s head, completely made up of frames in Sonic’s run animation from the Genesis games.

The shirts runs at an affordable $17.95 plus shipping.

Head on over to Shark Robot to buy this radness, foo’.

Need a Light?

I don’t smoke. Actually I hate smoking and I can’t wait until the day comes that no one ever smokes again. However I do really like cool lighter designs. There are a lot of eye-catching little gimmicks and I can’t help but play with them when I go on a vacation and see them in a store. Today SEGA made my day when I saw this get posted up. Right now, they’re offering what appears to be two collectible zippo lighters designed after the SEGA Genesis and the SEGA Saturn. Sadly, they’re quite expensive but what do you want for a collectible that will warm you with fire and a nostalgic heart? Get’em while they’re hot!
