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.
dear god please, lol.
i’ve tried for so many beta keys already and no luck.
this is the reason i got a ps3(among others now and one that supposedly got cancelled a while back but amazon lists it again, i digress)
man, i cannot wait for lbp.
october 21 will not be here soon enough.
Jeff I wanted to thank both Sony and MM for adding to the hype surrounding LBP. I have had this reserved for 8 months and I cannot wait until the 21st. Thanks Jeff for all of this awesome info and taking the time to go through all of these comments and the thousands of e-mails for the beta.
Couldn’t help but grin when watching that video. Absolutely brilliant.
Sent my email :) Thanks a lot Jeff.
this game is so epic it crashed the internets
SENT MY EMAIL FROM PSYCONX@AOL.COM
THANKSZ A LOT JEFF…
**PurpleBOii**
keeping fingers crossed!
ok email enviado espero que ahora si me toque uno codigo
nice trailer :) looking forward to the game, also send a email for the beta. probably to late though :p
I just realized that I emailed with my gmail account, but my PSN is set-up to my hotmail account. Is that going to mess up my chance?
I can’t wait to give this game a try,I have been seeing it played on JTV and almost literally drooling.
Email sent…sure hope im lucky enough to try this game out…
Yay!… Hopefully…
so we just email u asking for an LBP code???
hope i get in tried everywhere this is one of my last chances thanks much Jeff how many keys are there?
emai sent thank you very much..hopefully ill get a key so i can get out of this gaming drought im currently in haha
yeeeei!!

“Here we see to sack people making love”
ROFL..
@265 robertf224
Look like 2000
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just one last thing… where are the Tv commercials? The merchandise? What is your marketing people doing???!!
Sony has now the biggest chance since the PS3 launch to do something really good for PS3, something that could even change this console war and the public opinion about PS3.
I really hope to see soon some really nice commercials and tabloids and magazines and cloths and drinks and what so ever marked with a smiley Sackboy. Sony needs to drastically improve their marketing this holiday, and with only 3 weeks from the launch of their biggest holiday tittle I can only see internet fuzz, which won’t reach the bigger market.
Hope Sony realizes quickly they MUST present sackboy to the world in many ways, because Sackboy may define PS3 and sell many systems.
I cannot wait to play this game with my wife
I hope this works for canada?!?!?
Is it too late to get into the LBP beta? i just got off of deployment and i was hopeing my wife could sign me up but it didn’t workout that way. is there anymore beta keys left out there? im dieing to get one.
I hope I wasn’t too late…..
I wanna play it!
hmm looking at the email I wonder if the number 2000 has any meaning?
we just ask them for a code in the email????????
answer me people please….i want to get in so bad…i’ve pre-ordere mine like months ago!!!!
Bring it on…… LBP rocks… it is one of THE BEST PLAYSTATION titles EVER. I have to admit I love the game. I just love it without any questions…
Just sent my beta key request e-mail from the UK, its 9:30PM here, any ideas if I’ll get a key tonight, or should I phone in work sick – lol!!!!
I REALLY want to be in the LittleBigPlanet beta. Why didn’t pre-orders get any?
“and here we see two sack people making love”
Ha!
O MAN I hope there are still some left (only 250+ comments?) please update the post when you know you don’t have any more.
…On that note, my apologies to whoever has the lucky job of copy and pasting beta codes for the 100s of emails you get :)
just sent my email.

Jeff, See the EU BETA, is that a different version to this ?
Wow! This sounds like the best chance we’ve had! I’ve applied for 7 or 8 other contests and stuff to get a LBP beta key. Hopefully this one works! Yay!
