The folks over at PS3 Fanboy have uncovered (or were told) some pretty neat information about the LittleBigPlanet beta selection process, or well, at least in Japan. Apparently, it will be handled much like the recent Home beta invitations. For your convenience, here is the full post.
Those of you who are anticipating the LittleBigPlanet beta will be happy to know that we've got some of the juicy details right here for you. Japanese PS3 owners can currently head to the PS Store and download a LBP theme that will also allow you to enter a drawing for the LBP beta, similar to the Home one that was held a while back.We can only wonder if this selection process will be utilized in America and other territories. Hopefully, LittleBigLevels will be able to start our level reviews, and level submission process during the beta (hopefully it will be allowed within the user agreement). Keep checking back for more LittleBigPlanet beta updates.
According to the details given, applications to the beta will be accepted from September 17th to September 23rd. The beta itself will take place from September 29th to October 12th. The size of the file will be 950MB. In each region (Japan, Europe and North America), 20,000 users will be selected for a total of 60,000 users. Hopefully we'll hear about how North America and Europe can get in on the act soon.
