Well. It's up and the stingy buggers have only offered 1000 keys. Join the maddness LBP fans, im sat waiting for my message to go through and its a first come first served thingy. Pretty dissappointing really.
This is pretty mental. I have been hovering around the LBP website all day waiting for beta announcments and the like and surfing the net as you go - then this just rolled in on my RSS.

"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?"
I just wanted to know if there is anyone else in the same situation - well other than these other few thousand people already mentioned.
He isn't a reliable source and with the Hendrix family trust unable to get all of Hendrix's songs together and buy out all of the contracts that he signed his life away to I would really be surprised if Activision can manage it - though if they do they will find themselves with yet another guitar hero player.
Im with you man. The Wii really needs more good quality 3rd party titles and with De Blob been a university project ive been keeping my eye on it for a while. 8.4 is a solid score....just wait for Game$pot to take it down a notch with their "This games looks amazing 5.0 mediocre writing staff. I will be following suit and buying both games. Id also suggest you add me as a 'Wii Buddy' but the ridiculous code system means it ain't gonna happen - I mean really, how do they expect me to remember 8 different 12 digit codes.
