To anyone that sent an email to try to get a code from the Meristation website, you may need to do it all over again.

On various forums, people have mentioned that you now need to be registered with that site, and include your user name in the email. It goes without saying that you probably want to pretend you are from Spain when you register, otherwise they might ignore your request.

It's unclear whether this is actually true, or if this applies to new codes they have to give out, or the original ones.

I just checked the site and it's true.

Same with me. I'm still hoping that one site actually releases NA codes today, like it was implied on the PS forums, but as the work day is drawing to a close on the west coast, I'm beginning to doubt it. If nothing is posted by 8pm, I assume nothing is coming today.

[Horhay]

Yeah, by now I am really doubting it.

Who says LBP wont be a system seller? Just this beta alone is eating up sites bandwidth like crazy already.
Any site that's been said to carry a beta keys gets owned just like that.

I'm not positive, but I assume people in the beta already have PS3's.

Maybe with the right hype, and perhaps an entry level bundle, the game might help sell systems though. There might be plenty of non-gamers who are interested in the idea of creating stuff, and would possibly buy in, if the price was right.

Realistically, though, I don't think any single game is really a system seller anymore, given the price of consoles these days.

People who bought the MGS4 bundle were waiting until MGS4 before finally buying a PS3. They knew they were eventually getting one, they were just waiting for that particular game. I don't see the same being the case for LBP.

It's been over 24 hours since people have had access to the LittleBigPlanet beta (pronounced beeeeta in Europe, naturally). We know a lot of you managed to get codes from Eurogamer, so congratulations to those who did. How are you enjoying it? We're having a blast, but there are a few things that we feel are lacking. Thankfully, a new post on the official Media Molecule blog states that "it's already quite an old build. We have some cool new stuff that's been in our private test for a few days, I won't give it all away but there are things cooking such as 5-star ratings, (much) better performance and less lagginess, better online stability, better UI for publishing, faster downloads...."

Consider our minds put to rest. We're looking forward to seeing expanded user profiles, level rankings based on ratings and improved level filters. So hopefully they're included in Media Molecule's current cooking pot. If not, we're sure they'll be implemented one day, thanks to the company's emphasis on developing the LittleBigPlanet experience based on user demand. So, LBP beta testers, what are your demands?

Played some great and some decent user created levels tonight, nothing awful yet funnily enough. I've got the best score on a number of them.

Recent MediaMolecule blog updates:

Sack Fashion

Continuing the improbably gigantic Sackboy theme, issue #2 of Amusement Magazine has an interview with Alex and Mark and a surreal fashion shoot with our coarse fibred friend:



More big pics on their flickr account.

My God, it's full of gold...



hurrah huzzah huzzah. LittleBigPlanet is nearly in your hands! Rejoice! Time for champagne…

(or should we call it blue…)

PS as a little golden gift, check out our flickr account for a full-res desktop res version. YAY!

Welcome to the beta!

A super exciting thing happened today! The beta trial went live to thousands of people, mainly via eurogamer.net. In fact, I believe you all briefly brought down their site! WOWZERS! At the moment the feeling in the office is somewhere between unbounded excitement and mild panic - personally I think I’m losing my mind (in a good way!) Had to bash out a few songs on our newly acquired office copy of rockband just to de-stress while the beta downloaded in the background! just had our first few playthroughs with some of you people and with some of the levels that have been published.

What AMAZES me is how good the first ’sketches’ of levels are. it took our testers at least a few weeks of heavy create before incredible levels started appearing. and now something cool for you all to think about: you’ve only seen the first 3 levels Remember, this is a *beta* to test our servers, NOT a demo. Can’t stress that enough! So, what’s is so cool for us to see, is that you haven’t even seen the amazing story mode yet, which serves as inspiration, and yet the levels going up are already interesting. I can’t wait to see what y’all do when you see the full game, and start cranking out levels.

Also, since it’s a beta, it’s already quite an old build. We have some cool new stuff that’s been in our private test for a few days, I won’t give it all away but there are things cooking such as 5-star ratings, (much) better performance and less lagginess, better online stability, better UI for publishing, faster downloads…. so in a way playing this version is simultaneously exciting and an odd throwback to a couple of weeks ago.

Finally, to everyone who has supported the game, played the game, left comments, posted levels, and really got into the spirit of LBP, understood it, and well, enjoyed it, it makes me incredibly proud! Thanks for all comments and constructive feedback, we’re listening and we already have *stacks* of stuff lined up for the beta, and the full release. If you liked the first 3 story levels, the other 50 odd levels are going to blow you away HOORAY! I AM SO EXCITED!

ok I’ll stop now.

FINALLY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT BETA KEYS:

PS sorry but beta keys and their distribution are actually entirely in the hands of Sony. MM have no control over this, so we can’t help if anyone wants to get on the beta trial, I am certain (100%) there are more keys coming SOON but we’d recommend checking the playstation forums and all the usual places for news. In fact, even MM hasn’t received our own full set of keys yet - we’ve only got about 10 between us all so far! (ok so we can play the game anyway, but, y’know, in case it makes you feel better!)

[air_max]

for those who are in the beta, check out my levels: user name is listed below, my levels are titled (in order of creation):

first one
Rubber Race
Jump Grab Fly!

They are relatively short, but I think they are fun. If any of you guys play them, let me know what you think!

I wish it was a bit better, because even the full size image looks pretty crappy when blown up on my screen. Otherwise it's a cool picture.

That's one of the two I've favourited. And I should still be the number 1 score for single player.

You need to make those rockets more reliable though, dunno if giving them an exit 'tube' would guide them in the right direction better.

[air_max]

I thought about making the rockets bigger, so they fly straight, but its hilarious when they just fly spinning you out of control watching your sackboy hold on for dear life. also it adds a bit'o luck to the level.

glad you liked it though
