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.

I hope I get one. I praying that it’s coming late. I shot off an e-mail pretty early. I won’t be salt about it though; the FULL game will be out in three weeks.
@ 1781

likewise
sephiroth4@gmail.com
sephiroth_4@yahoo.com
sephiroth_4@msn.com
edavis@myway.com
IT DON’T MATTER WHICH ONE!!!11!! lol
sephiroth_4 is my PSN if u need that.
:( I lost in every single beta giveaway. i know it’s coming out soon, but it’s really depressing.
I guess since other people are posting their email addresses I may as well too. Its MasterDoogla@yahoo.com.
I’ve been trying to get the beta all week. 1up I was to late for monday’s question, i lost internet and phone 2 minutes before tuesday’s question, and wednesday and thursday’s questions were just bull$hit because they had nothing to do with littlebigplanet. I signed up for all of the beta key raffles on the various websites with no luck. Gametrailers was horrible. I dont think anyone got a key from them. And now this crap with playstation blog not giving keys out to people who sent their email in the first 30 minutes. So if anyone has a spare key, PLEASE! I would love you so much.
I think some folks in here might be foolin’ us that didn’t get in (8-{ not cool.
Got my email a few hours ago. Can’t wait to test LBP.
yeah rite.
My e-mail name is devon-17@hotmail.com or dvn_mrshll@yahoo.com plz send one to me i really want to play this game.
THANKS JEFF!
all you at PSB ROCKS!
Thanks for identifing and solving the issue (page 35). I received my keys (problem page 33) now (two hours) and I am finally downloading our little big planet.

can u use the beta key more then once like the kratos costume ………. and I wonder if you can use the kratos costume in the beta game
1794
no you can only use it once
I got sent an email that says I made the beta but I can’t seem to redeem it, says it may be wrong
Lookin even more grim….anyway, what kind of updates do ya’ll think there will be for this game besides levels and costumes?
Aww man, I could have sworn I got mine in really early. I wish I had a LBP key.
PSN ID= glody
If anyone has an extra I would be most grateful for a beta key.
Regardless, hope everyone has a great weekend!
im sure they got some keys some where they just need to get them to people its probaly somebody that got lucky and probaly got every one key for every different site that was giving them away be nice and give one to me please donald212066@msn.com
rite! I thought I was somewhat early bein #335.
oh and my email is gluebert@hotmail.com
woot!
hey tehferret, you might be in the wrong region, let me know
Why does every single beta give away rip me off?
@1797 and 1802 – I’ve got the same problem – got a key which won’t redeem. I only have an EU PSN ID – are these codes region locked??
I am like padsbrother, I’m in Europe, I guess they are region locked?
