Thanks for the post, I wouldn't have known about this otherwise. I set my alarm to remind me and got myself a key. When a friend who I'm account sharing with logs on I'll let you guys know if we're able to share the beta, so some of you who weren't able to register may still be able to play. Or you can always go out and buy LBP GotY if you're desperate.

Wow, not a surprise, but these went FAST!

I hate the way they distribute these things...give them to Media, so they can get hits on their website?
And the sheer amount they give out is ridiculous for a beta. It's a demo, with limited capabilities, but this way they get to hype up their game without allowing everyone access. No thanks.

I just got the theme in my email.

Got the email today.

While it is a big part of hype and demo games like these (innovative) should get a lot of testing. If the main part is creating stuff then that better work very, very well. Having us try it is the best way to know it is good. Games like Halo and CoD really didn't need betas at all beyond hype.

I do agree with how a lot of games that do have betas shouldn't, but I see this as one that should (and others like EndWar and LBP).

Most games that are online need betas to test how the servers hold up under strain... what runs well with 25 users is not always going to run well with thousands..
