 If you happen to be one of the big sites planning on giving out beta keys for LittleBigPlanet this week - IGN, 1Up, Gametrailers- be afraid, be very, very afraid.First, the rabid hordes brought Eurogamer.net crashing down, then 4,000+ of them suffered through an hour of Gamespot's laughably bad weekly TV show, "On The Spot" in an effort to score a code. All the while, they assaulted gaming forums spawning 100+ page threads in a matter of mere days (NeoGAF, I'm lookin' at you!) This morning, Gamepro quietly let it be known that they'd be offering a few keys "in an hour or so". Minutes later Gamepro was no more, its servers crushed by the exasperated army of LittleBigBeta code beggars hammering at their gates. Did I mention they also totally crashed the LittleBigPlanet official US homepage for about 3 hours? Oh yeah, and they also left ELEVEN THOUSAND COMMENTS on a single beta code related post in three days. So, you think Sony's got a hit on its hands? Maybe? Oh yeah, and if you're in the beta, please leave some comments below, we'd love to hear your thoughts :) Related Articles: More LittleBigPlanet beta keys coming, beta is old build LittleBigPlanet website gets Sackboy Generator |

» Meh.
little big planet is garbage. You can't use mp3's and you can use images from your own hdd. You have to buy that lame ass playstation eye attachment. Even then the game would still suck. I don't see the hype in this game at all. I'd rather save my money for a much better game that I would play longer than a month like Resistance 2.

» Well...
I agree with you. Total pass for me. This game would probably only amuse me for a week. The game looked fun when I first saw it, but the only replay the game will have is creating stages. I'm not the type who will go and download other people's stages. What else is there to do in the game? It's like playing Sonic The Hedgehog, you go from one side of the stage to the other. All you do is race and in some occasions work as a team.
Whatever happened to those PS3 fanboys that put down Nintendo and their kiddy games? Looks like the PS3 has a kiddy game that every PS3 fanboy is hyped up for.

well i dont feel so bad now, im not the onry one out there that doesnt think this game looks very good, or at least i dont think id play it for very long. i suppose i can see it being fun to a point but i think it would get old quick. tho ive not read into the game much but my opinion is still the same. i think id rather sit an re-organize my appt. in HOME beta which also is tough at holding my interest

Right, every game that doesn't appeal to you is obviously garbage. Which means that every RPG, platformer, adventure, sim, etc game is garbage because I tend to favor sports games. Right?
God forbid we acknowledge that game be good while not appealing to us. Also, maybe hold off on the negativism until the game is actually out, and maybe until you've played it?

Come again ?
Can you seriously not use images and mp3's from your HDD ?
Somehow I was under the impression that you could do this.
Well this changes my opinion on this game. I will just let it pass and pick it up from the budget bin in 2 years or so.

Who said you couldn't? They showed us a demo of using someone's picture to stamp all over the place.
Maybe they had to cut back since this stuff will be online and they didn't want any PORN level popping up.

removing custom images/mp3s from uploaded levels?
seems like a reasonable compromise

I'm not sold on that yet. I just saw a new 1up video that clearly shows custom music and images of some guys face plastered on the level.

» i had no idea...
that this beta was soo in demand. I scored a beta key from sony and I actually asked them for a second one :-) But the guy told me:
"Are you dreaming?
I have had to turn so many people away!"
haha the game is pretty addictive, though. For the most part, the people that don't like this game are either kids that think playing 'tough' games make them seem tough, or guys that are insecure with their masculinity....
hate to break the bad news to you guys, but the game IS good. I didnt think it would be, but the beta proved that it is. Good graphics, fun crap, friends, make your own levels and high production value. tough to beat. My friend thats working on Gears 2 is dying for the beta, too. He was the reason I asked for a second key. He claims it to be game of the year. no lie. crazy, rite?

Game takes a lot of bandwidth to run, they should've known this. Also, not only the bandwidth but add thousands of people trying to login and give it a try. They should know this, I can see company resources on new V-Servers - if they game is a HUGE hit then they will recover that money easily. LOL

Um, the game didn't crash, you realize that right? Why else would you mention that the game takes a lot of bandwidth?

i was one of the first to get a key from eurogamer
and it seems i was lucky i had hardly any problems, i left with a key after 15 minuites
but then about another 15mins later i was trying to get another code for my mate and it was almost impossible, after about an hour of constant trying i managed to get another code
the beta is great, theres so much content in it for a beta, with so much stuff to unlock which all help you to make better levels
to bad i suck at making levels

» I helped crash Gamepro and playstation boards :O
Gamepro went down so badly, and psn boards too.
Fun fun fun, but Sony is SO SLOW, they said up to 48 hours to receive a key, still waiting for it, this is unbearably low considering all other sites just give them away like ASAP :X

» beta is laggy but awesome
at first, the tutorials are what put me off, but now that i have most of the items i can make awesome levels. at first i thought it was babyish but now i really see the creative potential for people who want to express their imagination in a way that's only been possible till now on pc applications which require hard work.
making a level on LBP can be hard if you want to make something really complex, including loads of mechanisms and electronics and sometimes you have to use undo a lot to get something right, or delete a big chunk of the level and start again, but it is much more accessible and instantly playable than anything else out there that does this. plus you can publish your own levels and play online
