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.
You know, your attempt to rescue me from repetitive-stress disorder isn’t effective.
Instead of hitting F5 in my inbox, I’ll be mashing it here on the blog. :)
And I hope I get a code soon
Email sent. Trying to get a code for my friend who hasn’t had any luck getting in.
Best wishes to everyone who tries to get one.

1. Public Beta Ends October 11th, 2008 ?? Thats good to know.
I’d like to download these good LBP videos. Are these going to be offered later on PSN Store?
E-mail sent, thanks for this chance.
I’m too late again aren’t I, damn work and responsibilities.
that sucks…. they get to keep their levels. :(
Now, where are the real life sackboys? I still want one. ;)
E-mail sent, thanks.
Just emailed now, hopefully I got in!
My name is Trey Witsell, my psn account is under Akiradevil. I am a faithful playstation fan and i am so excited for little big planet i feel like a little kid before christmas. I really am way to excited for this game to be an adult. But October 3rd is my birthday and this would be the best gift I would possibly get, especially from the sony blog. I just recently started leaving comments but i have been reading for a long while now. I recently left a comment about how I bought a PS3 not long after the release and people tell me that im in an abusive relationship with Sony (mostly my friends who have 360’s) I would like you guys to prove them all wrong. Look I know you’ve probably gotten thousands of responses but i would sincerely appreciate it more than most people. I have been waiting for a game this ground breaking to change the way games are made and played. Please let me use my graphic design (and grafiti skills) to create something spectacular. Oh yeah by the way Im turning 29.
i am already in the beta ,i received my code from eurogamer about 10 days ago,Any way welcome to the beta boys i hop you enjoy.
hopefully i get one now
I just emailed I hope I get one. Been trying to get one for a while now.
I hope i get in this time (fingers crossed).
I have been trying to get in any Beta, but i never got luck.My brother bought QORE Annual Subscription (Since it released), and he didn’t receive a code to play SOCOM Beta!
I really want to get into any Beta!
E-mail sent. I’m too late, aren’t I? :,(
I hope I get in the beta.
Gimme some LBP love.
email sent thank you!
WOW.
Thank you so much guys. I would really like to get accepted to this beta key. I have had countless hours of sleep because of the beta key. Please…… making it open beta would be better but once again I hope I get accepted.

Email sent..15 Mins ago!! :P.
i sent an e-mail, but does it matter if i was registered or not?
i just registered now, after send the e-mail (15 mins ago)
This game is unplayable online today – VERY laggy!
Anyone know where feedback for the beta should be left?
This is why the beta should be open – if the servers can’t copy with a few thousand beta testers, what’s it going to be like release day?
I have sent mine now. Hope i get it:P
Does that mean I could finally get one??? Spent way too much time already pressing F5 in numerous web sites, so I gave up…
Just sent my e-mail. Hope I get in.
i hope i get one!!!
Email sent, crossing fingers! Thanks for this chance to get the beta.
so how many beta codes we talking here? i sent mine at 1:01, was that too late?
Goddamn, could they be any cuter?
Oh and who here has gotten has waited countless hours on 1up.com spamming the refresh button only for it all to be in vain?
Didn’t send mine in until about 4p.m. so i’m probably about 4,000 in line. How many are in a monstrous stack?
Ahhhhh!! Can’t Wait to play this! Are there still enough keys as if I just sent my email out about 15 minutes ago! I’m fiendin’ for some LPB! Thank you guys!
I don’t mind if I don’t get in… I’ve learnt the value of patience…
AHHHH!
I NEED A KEY!!!!!
Roval!
i was too late :( dang it school kept me back
Good luck, guys.
Hope you (and me) can get in and have some fun. :)
Damn, I’m an hour late. Graveyard shift makes me sleep too long. I really hope I get one. I didn’t get into the HOME beta, and if I’m not a loyal PS fan, I don’t know who is!
Wish I had sent it earlier.
When you say a lot, I hope you mean A LOT.
Woohoo sent an email, hope i get a key soon :D
Oh I forgot to ask you Jeff.
Is this the LittleBigPlanet Beta key give away the craziest thing you seen on the blog?
PS: I’ve been trying all week to get a key with the PS blog, G4TV, Gametrailers.com, 1UP, LittleBigPlanet news site, IGN and who knows what other sites giving away keys that I tried participating in. It’s total madness.
Sent my email. Hope I get one. Thanks Jeff.
