Grab Your LBP Beta

The site’s down, as you’d expect when you’re the only UK site giving away betas for the PS3’s biggest game of the year. However, if you can get on the site, and you’ve got an account with Eurogamer, get yourself a beta key before they all disappear - at the time of writing there were only 2,500 left…

well it was supposed to be 20k keys to japan, 20k to europe and 20k to US.

Less than 6k given away by eurogamer so I’d expect more ways…

phew…and to think I nearly missed that!

On a bit of a tangent here…how did they get the priviledge of distributing the keys? TSA would do well to emulate something like that in the future…bet they just reg’d 5000 new users. Cunning.

nofi [ Site Admin ]

yeah, a nice spike for them. sadly we don’t carry that kind of weight with SCEE

Error code 80029752

Dont download the beta on more than one PS3 (i.e going round your friends and downloading it from your download list to show them) as it then gives you said error code and your fucked…

so much for the “share” part of the game right?

I just wonder when they will start applying this error code to game discs…

seedaripper1973

sorry to hear this rook ( i just saw your comment on eurogamer as well) i’d be well gutted…but in all fairness it does state you can only use the code once and via the registered user…either way, you had the code, and then you lost it..i didnt even get the sodding chance!

p.s..i wouldnt mind, but i bet about 4000 of the bloody things went to those apparent ‘cousins’ across the pond…word cannot express my hatred for those wankers..(just look at the comments on ps3fanboy) makes my blood boil (and i bet when we try the same thing when they get their beta..it will be region locked!)
Us europeans get shit (plopped) on, yet again

Shrui

MediaMolecule have sort of commented on this:

Also lots of comments around the beta being an older build, lots of changes and improvements already in the place.

So has anyone (yes even you TSA) get a spare key they would donate to a poor child like me? i have a socom beta key i have only used once and you can use it another time if any one would do such a thing

email me: marksawbo(at)gmail.com

seedaripper1973

hey!! i got dibs on that key

MarkSawbo

UPDATE!
Im a BETA Tester for SONY EU, have tested Resistance 2 and Socom, and i thought we wernt getting invites for LBP. I just checked my emails and i got one! I LOVE SONY!

seedaripper1973

well your a lucky sod..i tested the original ps2 online beta (with socom,hardware etc) and what do i get?? fuck all..well what a surprise

official word on my problem…

“Sam Protagonist

Unfortunately, while in your case you’ve done nothing wrong, this locking of a key is in place precisely to stop people using beta keys on more than one Playstation 3. I’m sure you can appreciate the need to limit numbers of people involved in a test if you’re running a limited numbers approach.

In this case there is little can be done, however I’ll check to ensure that no automated “black mark” has been assigned to your account. The side affect I can’t rectify however is that the beta code you were issued will now not work.

There are more codes coming, on both sides of the Atlantic, so you may score another key to the game. ”

So dont download the beta on more than one PS3… and ONLY use it on the ID you enter the key under…

Learn from my mistake

also more news about other beta keys going out… keep your eye on the web!

Nofi, any chance you can send me one of your keys mate?

nofi [ Site Admin ]

Nope, sorry, we only got a very limited number and they’re gone.

seedaripper1973

Hi nofi (i realise this is getting a bit boring now) but due to your connections you may get a first heads up!! aparently theres stiil loads of euro betas left..are these going to a site (ala eurogamer) or are sony just sending them to random email adress for the excess??? also if you get wind of any sites doing it could you and the boys, make a headline outta it (i tend to frequent this site more than others)
