Still need a LittleBigPlanet beta key? USA Today Online's got 15,000! photo

If you own a PS3, you need a LittleBigPlanet beta key. It's as simple as that. The game, as Brad Nicholson described in his hands-on, has the ability to transport you directly to childhood with its clean, beautiful stylings and precious character design. If you don't have one, never fear: you have one more chance to snag one of 15,000 keys, now being given away on USA Today Online.

When you get there, click the purple button that says "Do you want to test drive the game?" and you're well on your way to creating your own universes. While you're at it, you just might want to search user-created content for "Destructoid" -- someone just might have made us our own level.

I kinda already accepted my fate with not getting into the beta, but then this comes up and I've become antsy in the pantsy. I should be writing a paper right now, not stressing out over this. Balls.

I see no purple button...I think it's becuase at work I have no Java or anything special...

BUT

I was told that you can e-mail littlebigplanet@usatoday.com with LittleBigPlanet Beta‏ in the title and get a key that way.

I sent that e-mail 20 mins ago and am still waiting....

Thats what I did and I got mine a few hours ago. You just have to be patient, it took about an hour and a half.

I sent a message at 10:34 AM (central) and received a code at 11:44 AM, if that gives people a better idea of the turnaround time.

Yes, it is pending. I'd use a Magic 8 ball to see if I got in but I'm afraid the outlook wouldn't look good.

Can I have anyone's beta code if they get doubles?? I'll love them forever and dedicate an entire blog post in their honor.

It worked (and still does, the page still exists). It took about 2 hours to receive it though.

@covah:

When did you e-mail? I sent mine in around 12:05 CST. Trying to gauge how much longer I have to wait, if I got it at all.

If anyone has any spares, I'd love you for an indeterminate amount of time if you tossed it to me.

I got in, too. They sent me two keys, though. Not sure why. I only emailed them once at around 11:40 EST.

So you submitted about an hour before me and 43 minutes after. Hmm... hopefully I'll be good to go. Seriously, this beta key mayhem has been hell.

Here is hoping....I have today off and would love to give it a go. It is also the first PS3 game my girlfiend has shown any interest in. I am getting a free copy anyhow, but impatient is me.

My god, I hope I get this one. I really, really want in on this and have wanted to be since the beta's announcement. As always, only time will tell for me...

AAAH. I got one!
I checked my inbox and double-took.
That took roughly an hour.

I got a second beta key, the first one to send me a PM asking for it gets it.

Am I dead inside because I have absolutely no interest in this game whatsoever?

fanfaz wins my extra key, but apparently it may be broken going by what cognito said.

I got one yesterday and started the beta, it's not bad- some of the movement is kind of weird as to when you can and can't go on the "z" axis- but it is pretty fun

A friend just called me about the post and he got his key. I just sent an email and I am waiting with anticipation for the key.

Doing it the e-mail way is a pretty terrible system, guaranteed alot of people just farmed codes.

I sent my e-mail about an hour ago and haven't heard back yet, so I'm thinking I didn't get it. If anyone has an extra code I'd much appreciate it. Worth a shot anyway.
