FINAL UPDATE: Everyone who’s going to receive a beta key from us should have already received it. I’ve noticed a lot of, um, pointing out that “I sent mine in before [that guy] and I didn’t get one and he did.” The way we did it is – we gave keys out in the order they showed up in our inbox. With the amount of emails we received, it’s entirely likely that they didn’t arrive in the order that they were sent. Of course, we’d have no way of knowing that… so goes the interwebz.
UPDATE #2: The beta keys are sending out now, so check your inboxes (and spam filters). All should be reach their destinations within about 2 hours (it’s 4.23pm Pacific right now). Good luck!
UPDATE: You can stop sending emails now, we’ve gotten more than enough. We’re processing them now and we’ll update right here again once we’ve begun sending out beta keys. Thanks for the awesome response!!!
Our first dive into the world of LittleBigPlanet taught us all about the SackBoy, now it’s time for another visit! The second episode in this series takes us deeper into the wonders of LBP. This time we answer the question- “How do SackBoys Play?” You’ll soon find out, alone or in a pack, these little guys know how to have a good time.
Oh, and a few days ago, we stirred up a bit of a frenzy by handing out the remaining 50 beta keys we had left over from our Orlando Meet-up. Some of you thought that, as the official PlayStation blog, we should have a bit more than 50 to give away. Well, we here at the PSB don’t like having our Bloghood called into question. So, as of the time of this writing, I’m sitting on a monstrous stack of burlap-covered LittleBigPlanet beta keys, and they’re there for the asking. So ask away, send an email to [address removed, all codes have been sent] and we’ll get them out to you.
Now we’ve got *a lot* of beta keys to give away, and I’d hate for you to develop repetitive-stress disorder from whacking your F5 button to refresh your inbox, so expect it to be a few hours before the codes are sent. We’ll update this post when we have it lined up and start pressing the “send” button.
If you receive a code, this paragraph becomes relevant to you:
1. Public Beta Ends October 11th, 2008
2. You must use a consumer PLAYSTATION 3 system that is connected to the internet.
3. You must have a PLAYSTATION Network Account.
4. If you have previously redeemed a LBP voucher code, you must delete any old LBP data (along with save data and game data) and download this version (go to Download History and redownload the new code).
5. This version does not require a DNS redirect and levels created here will be available for consumers at launch of the full title.
6. Please refrain from creating anything inappropriate, as we do have moderation in place and it may result in your account being suspended or banned.
Downloading the LittleBigPlanet Public Beta.
After you have signed in with your PLAYSTATION Network Account, select [Account Management] on the XMB interface located under the ‘PLAYSTATION Network’ tab, then select [Transaction Management] and click on the option ‘Redeem PLAYSTATION Network Card or Promotion Code’. Enter the following unique code to start the download of LittleBigPlanet.
And once you get in, you can start getting creative. What’s that, you’re looking for inspiration? Have a look at Wired’s Top 10 User-Created LittleBigPlanet Adventures.
are there any left?
its been rough… but maybe just maybe god is real! and true… psblog rocks my socks!
Thanks Jeff..
Wow, this is really crazy !
Any type of mention of a Beta and everyone gets all riled up and then upset if they didn’t get in.
It’s only 19 days away, so if we get in, we get in, if not…less than 3 weeks and you’ll have the game.
Just fired off an email. Thanks for reaching out to fans like this. Major Nelson would’ve spit in my face, told me it’s raining, and then charge me $50 a year for it.
OMG!!!
I CANNOT WaIT!
im praying i get the beta key i cannot wait for this game i would sell my wii and xbox just for this game on my ps3!!!!

Oh, I really hope I get a beta key from here. I was the 256th person (fully qualified) on the littlebigplanet site to post for the beta their, but never received code. Made me uber depressed. So here’s to hoping this works. And thanks for the opportunity!

btw, how come todays update is taking so long.
I sent my email a few hours ago. Everything else has failed so far.
Thanks.

UPDATE: You can stop sending emails now, we’ve gotten more than enough. We’re processing them now and we’ll update right here again once we’ve begun sending out beta keys. Thanks for the awesome response!!!
Thanks a lot for the updates, much better than other website’s contests where they give you zero info.
I really want a key. Ive been trying for days. This is my last chance. Im so nervous :p
*refreshing mail inbox*
most resistance keys.. are simple to get..i gott mine at gamestop for free they have way too many… another way is qore… which brings up something else… remember the hell on mgo beta? took almost a week to get in after the code lol
ok lol thanks god!
I’ve been trying for days! Please send me one!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!
everyone has … now we wait! lol
wow, what a day we are having, im as giddy as a kid on xmas eve, 2 new LBP videos in the store downloading right now, not to mention 5 demos for ps3, and more videos then you could shake a stick at, now if only i got a LBP beta code, it would be like loosing my virginity again..lol
Now this is how to hand out keys! Nice and organised, no cloak and dagger b$. Nice one guys.
i think this is too much excited for my poor young heart to take! lol(jk)
I did it too late :(
when did you send it?
Off-topic – Store has been updated and let me tell everything looks great…….enjoy!
Can I get 3? Just checking… thanks :)
so i sent my email around 12:50, i hope i get in! thank you playstation blog! :D
Amazing. Every time there is a beta key give away, I am at work which blocks any and everything gaming/blog related. Traveling to/from work OR sleeping because of work (yeah you littlebigplanet news site posting at 1am). I will now resort to freezing myself until the game comes out.
I don’t think I’ll ever get a key at this rate. Keep missing the giveaways.
Did you have to be a “member” to enter ?
Like, do you check if the e-mailers were members and decided on that?
Or was it very random?
Or, was it first come first serve?
(Sorry for all the Q’s xD )
I sent mine at like 12:40
Just sent my email, and then read the update to stop applying… Phooy, that sucks! I JUST got home from work! They should have givin those that pre-ordered the game a chance at the beta :(
dude if i get one…..happiness is an option.. if i dont.. it just tops off a bad week.. either way.. ill accept it… i wont like if i dont get a key.. but the game is almost here… i really want a key tho
Anybody here won on the official little big planet site but didn’t get one? im one of em :/ lol that’s why im triying here..
is QORE set to come out today?
Sorry but you (we) can’t send more emails; read above:
“UPDATE: You can stop sending emails now, we’ve gotten more than enough. We’re processing them now and we’ll update right here again once we’ve begun sending out beta keys. Thanks for the awesome response!!!”
I sent mine arround 2 hours ago…
Good luck everybody!
Yay! An Update! Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
I hope everyone gets in, cause it’s a shame to be left out…
Anybody wanna add me on psn so we can play together in lbp? Psn=EXO-grey-fox

FYI:
Small install, loads in like an hour tops W/ Comcast. Very fun. 4 levels of training and unlocking different development tools for your popit. Do yourself a favor and relax and play through the demo, then do all of the tutorials. These unlock more devices and stickers for you to play with.
