Yes, you can have your cake and play with it, too. Titan, the developers of the forthcoming PSN-exclusive Fat Princess are searching for beta test volunteers beginning later this week.
This is a “real” beta; the developers don’t just want you to play, they value your feedback. You should only participate if you’re willing to report your experiences on the closed beta forums, discussions, surveys, etc. You won’t just be having fun, you’ll be helping to make Fat Princess an even better game when it debuts on PSN this summer.
Also, you’ll get to brag to your friends. Over and over.
Being a closed beta, access is limited; so we want to make sure the most fervent, determined fans benefit from our allotment of 250 beta codes. We struggled with deciding how to determine which PlayStation.Blog readers want it the most. Then it hit us: cake.
The first 250 people to upload a picture of themselves eating cake (cheesecake, cupcakes and fruitcakes are all acceptable) to our Facebook fan page will get in. Please make sure that the picture is of YOU, and that you include a piece of PlayStation paraphernalia in the pic (a DualShock controller, T-shirt, PS3, PSP, etc). Just upload your pic(s) to the gallery and tag them with “Fat Princess″ – you’ll need to ‘Fan’ the page first – to let us know you want in! Then, once the beta gets underway, we’ll contact you via Facebook with information on how to join in on the fun.
In case you’re lacking for inspiration, we took some practice pics in the office. Now head out to the bakery – these spots won’t last!
UPDATE: Looks like we’ve got enough photos now! The response has been awesome and overwhelming, so thanks to all of you that have entered. We’ll go through the entries now, sort out the duplicates and whatnot, and contact the approved photo-submitters via Facebook by noon (Pacific) tomorrow. If you didn’t make it, pay attention to our Twitter account for other sites that may be granting access to the beta. Thanks!!
Bakery industry just exploded from Cake demand.I hope your happy.
To be serious i will be 100% late to the contest when ill try.A public beta would be nicer for everyone who really wanted one.LBP did it,Killzone did it.
Nooo! When I found the page it had about 150 pics I’d say? My camera was dead, so I ran downstairs, grabbed some cake and took a pic with my Sixaxis…sent the pic from my phone to my email. Downloaded the pic from my email to my computer. Added a border in Photoshop, uploaded the pic to Facebook and it was like number 409 :( darnit this was possibly my most anticipated game of the year! And I was going to provide beta feedback too :(
I want in. im goin to the bakery rite now…
Is it too late….?
Well maybe it’s too late but what the hell… did it because i would REALLY like to be part of this great game! I’m the guy who look stupid in an orange tshirt with 2 yellow cupcakes in is mouth lol Oh there is also rainbow star on them… CMON! I deserve a beta access after that!
Damn, I just saw the update on the original blog post.
Why did I have to wake up so late
;_;
Great idea. Got a newborn son and can’t provide feedback but looking forward to this game!
this doesnt seem very fair i see people taking photoshop pics, eating …well not even cake, i think you should pic the first 250 eating cake no doughnuts or anything just seems more fair imo :(
We\’ll be sorting out the qualified and non-qualified pics. Those who went to that effort will be rewarded.
