Typically, the only rewards that a player reaps when creating unique game content is the enjoyment that others have with it. According to comments given to PS3Fanboy by SCEE president David Reeves, this is about to change with the coming of LittleBigPlanet. Reeves envisions that users will be able to charge for their content created in LBP.

What we’re trying to do with LittleBigPlanet is almost iTunes meets eBay in the sense that once an individual or a developer has qualified by producing certain levels or certain add-ons, they’ll then be able in the future to exchange these and make money out of them Eventually, it’s feasible that you might well see the first LittleBigPlanet millionaire!

Reeves then goes on to stipulate that content creators may be able to set their own price for content. This sounds great in theory, but I wonder how far the rabbit hole will go. Will any of you be willing to pay for user-created LittleBigPlanet content?
