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.
Finally, a real shot at getting a beta key. Excellent. This is the reason I bought 4 controllers…

this is much better, playstation blog, psu and little big planet news site should be the best places to give these beta keys away , thank you Jeff
Yep but it seems you have to each initiate the tutorials separately even if you are both there when one person does it.

A few hours? Btw Jeff, can you give us an estimative of how many keys you guys have? Is it over 9000?

Jeff, just letting you know that the GAMETRAILERS giveaway was such a failure…
I’m lighting a digital candle on my iPhone hoping that I can get a key. :O
Thanks a million for this opportunity Jeff, I just hope I get in. Any hints on when the keys will be ready to get sent out?
Splendid,good luck all :)
LittleBig Planet make ‘the internetz’ happy
Btw I hope you don’t give keys to spammers. I’m only sending one e-mail, but I know some people will just mash the Send button over and over to try and get your attention. I would be pissed if they got away with it :/
thanks for the oportunity :)
I’m a little late, I hope I get in!
“5. This version does not require a DNS redirect and levels created here will be available for consumers at launch of the full title.”
What does this mean? Which version DID require DNS redirect?
rp2000
This seems like my last chance at a beta key, I tried all the other offers with no luck. I hope I win a key.
Email sent. Hopefully this time I’ll get in.

Either that or repetitive stress from hitting F5. :)
“2. You must use a consumer PLAYSTATION 3 system that is connected to the internet.
”
