"Tomorrow, players of Minna no Golf 5 in Japan will be able to download the loveable stitched stars of LittleBigPlanet and take them out on the course. It looks like several different Sackboys and girls will be available, with Sony only asking for 500 yen of your money in order to advertise one game inside of another.

"Clap Hanz president Masashi Muramori recently sat down for an interview about his beloved Hot Shots franchise. The interview covered many topics, from the possibility of new sports to explore, previous games' success and of course, the PS3's anticipated Hot Shots Golf 5."

Following a heavily promoted downloadable demo of Minna no Golf 5 (known as Hot Shots Golf 5 oustide of Japan), Sony has announced a special PS3 package to coincide with the game's release.
Officially known as the PlayStation 3 Beginners' Pack, this bundle combines a PS3 system with a copy of Minna no Golf 5, all in a slick new box. It will be available on 7/..."
