Media Molecule is proud to announce that 1 million user-created LittleBigPlanet levels have hit the Playstation Network. As a side note, those 1 million levels have been played a full 244 million times.

This reportedly means that 1 level has been uploaded every 21 seconds since LBP‘s October 27th, 2008 streetdate, quite the amazing feat.

Finally, they also said to check the Playstation Blog around August 18th for a new LittleBigPlanet announcement. What could it be?

Harmonix is proud to announce that later this year they will be launching for the Xbox 360 (PS3 and Wii support at a later date) what they are calling the Rock Band Network. If you’re familiar with Apple’s App Store, this is the same kind of thing.

The Rock Band Network will allow users to upload and price their own tracks which can then be downloaded by anyone with the game. Users are said to be able to price the tracks between 50 cents and $3 while getting 30% of the track sales.

This is great news for up and coming artists looking to reach a wider audience. But the question remains, will the Rock Band Network catch on like similar services or will it be met with lackluster interest? Only time will tell.

You can check out the service in more detail, here.

It was recently announced over at the Smash Bros. Dojo that the service that allows users to upoad things like replays and custom stages will be no more. Below is the following announcement taken straight from the site:

As of June 30th, 2009, the current service that accepts user-generated snapshots, stage designs, and replay data will no longer be available. Please note, however, that we will continue to distribute such data after that date.

Hmm, no word as to why this service will be ending or if it will ever return.

Oh yeah and before you get too worked up please make note that this announcement won’t affect your ability to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl online, you just won’t be able to upload user created content anymore.
