Sony announces LittleBigPlanet, Rock Band for PSP

Buried deep within a lengthy press release detailing this year's lineup for its PlayStation Portable, Sony has confirmed rumors that both Harmonix's Rock Band and Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet are on their way to the handheld.

Sony hasn't shared many details of its portable Sackboy experience, other than to say that it will offer "the same play, create, share experience for gamers on-the-go, in addition to brand new levels and environments specifically created for the platform."

Of Harmonix's addition, titled Rock Band Unplugged, Sony says the game will "leverage the PSP system's Wi-Fi capabilities and becomes the first PSP game to include a fully-featured in-game store for downloadable content in the North American and Europeans markets."

Elsewhere in the release, Sony has announced a new "lilac" colored version of the PSP "for female gamers," (surely just what they were waiting for) to be bundled with a Hannah Montana rhythm/dance game, and a new Assassin's Creed pack at the launch of an portable version of Ubisoft's game later this year.
