LittleBigPlanet beta begins tomorrow, codes available on Eurogamer
So it turns out the LittleBigPlanet beta begins pretty soon. Like, tomorrow. Want to be involved? Eurogamer are giving away 5800 beta codes on a first-come first-serve basis. These are obviously dwindling rapidly, so get your skates on. We're not sure what the beta entails, exactly, but it begins tomorrow and ends on the 12th or October. You'll be able to make your own levels which, we suspect, will be populating the servers once the game releases at the end of next month. We suspect these beta codes will only work in Europe, but we should be hearing about the American method of entry any day now.

Here's hoping for a North American beta any day now.

To report sales of LBP Beta keys on Ebay:
Select "Counterfeits and breach of copyright"
Then "Other potential infringement"
Then "Beta software.....etc"
Makes me sick that I tried for three hours to get a key and some people are immediately selling them for £50+. One dude in Ireland has even added £10 postage and packing! WTF?!?!

The beta is already up and running. Im playing it now. But you have to have a euro PSN account, im american so im using my euro account and it works.
Sproyk @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:06PM
Just finished downloading, it seems you are able to play a sort of intro level. Then it lets you customise your character. Awesome.
Going back for more.........

I'm in the US, too, and I (painstakingly) just got a code. How do I create a Euro account to redeem the code?
Thanks! :-)

bluefrog @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:19PM
Well, I logged in with my account and clicked on the button, but then it died on me. Now I'm trying to get back in there. Are the codes emailed, or do they show up on screen?
spyder @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:19PM
can't even register on the damn site.... sooooo....slloowwwww
Laurens Holst @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:20PM
I got one! ^_^ The beta clocks in at 906 MB. Still 3500-something keys left.
Hint: go to this URL to skip the article and to get directly to the beta key page: http://gamers.eurogamer.net//giveaways.php?id=24&flush=true
Open the link in a couple of tabs, and everytime one times out just keep reloading until you get something :) (I don’t feel sorry for Eurogamer, they get plenty of attention from this thing! ;p). Then fill in your username and click submit (and reload if you’re getting an error).
If you don’t have a username yet, go here to register: http://gamers.eurogamer.net/register.php . After submitting, you get a confirmation email when your data has been received, even if the confirmation page was not able to load.
Marky264 @ Sep 23rd 2008 2:20PM
