With the LittleBigPlanet Vita beta well under way , and with a promising showing of the game at E3 , it makes sense that more news about the newest entry into Sackboy’s franchise would be forthcoming. Today, that news comes by way of the PlayStation Blog , which has revealed a rather tantalizing pre-order bonus for fans of the BioShock series in particular.

For pre-ordering LittleBigPlanet Vita, players can get the BioShock Pack, which includes two exclusive costumes: one for a Little Sister and one for a Big Daddy. You can see the picture of both costumes below. Another pack, Knights of Old, has also been revealed, giving players access to knight, dragon and princess costumes.Unfortunately, we still don’t yet know a release date for LittleBigPlanet Vita, though Tarsier Studios’ Simon Rosenkotter told a PlayStation Blog user in the comments that the game will indeed come out in 2012.
