Get your zoom on: ModNation Racers beta is in action photo

We've been digging on ModNation Racers ever since it was first announced back at E3 -- the combo of fun gameplay and memorably cute characters definitely made it the type of game you keep in mind after seeing it. Of course, we got the idea a beta was coming after discovering this voucher packed inside the LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition (which says that its valid from 9/8/09  - 1/31/10). So the beta would run roughly four months?

CVG is reporting that some PSN users have noticed friends of theirs in the ModNation Racers beta already, and that there is also evidence that the Track Studio feature is usable in beta (which allows you to create your own race track). We hear the open beta kicks off in December, but it's cool to see some people are already getting hands on with it. Of course, it's probably Sony employees, but still. Are you looking forward to this game?

I need to win a PS3 or something because I'm really looking forward to a lot of things on the one console I don't own yet...

First, you have to hope to win a PS3, it is the only true way to win at anything in life...you must hope it to happen.

This just in, the New Orleans Saints are the Superbowl Champions for the next 8 years, I just hoped for it to happen. No need to have NFL seasons until 2017 at the earliest.

Are the vouchers in all LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year editions worldwide? or is this localized USA news again without mentioning it to the rest of the world?


I hope it is in all packs worldwide, fingers crossed!

I despise having to purchase a game I don't want to get into a beta I do want, but when the game goes gold I'll be getting my copy I think.
