LBP IS AMAZINGLY HUGE

good luck competition and Fable 2

[zimbo007]

OMG

witness the power of LBP

[Foxx77]

Any one else having Server Errors??? I can't connect to the site anymore :(

[SolidWolf]

Yep! Is there no other game that has done this?!

[richieb]

Yeah I am, it's messed up...

[Maxilive]

Thats a way to kill your server :D

[GameGod63]

haha! yer advertiseing LBP beta keys is a death wish for your site XD

[strotee]

GamePro went down faster than a $2 hooker.

Off topic: If I receive an extra key, I will sell it to the highest bidder. Just kidding, I'm not that evil.. or am I?

Edit: There seems to be an influx of Gears/CliffyB stories in the Pending section. I think some are jealous of the attention LBP is receiving.

[dude_uk]

please give me one =D

[Legend20x]

LOOK AT TOPIC OF POST.

[Final_Rpg]

If you give me your spare I will become your permanent $2 hooker.

[Maxilive]

I can't even register with gamepro :( I've been trying for the past 4 days but just keeps saying that validation characters are wrong O.o

Well suppose its best as I'm just trying to leech a key lol

[EastCoastSB]

I guess I'm not meant to get in this beta. :(

I've been trying everywhere with absolutely no luck.

[sleewok]

Looks like the site is "officially" down for maintenance.lol

[lesk8vaincra]

I've succeed to register on gamepro 30 minutes ago, but if I can't read the news... :(

[aukyo]

wenn will it get started and i can't register

[TheTimeDoctor]

they should give them to me and i will distribute them.

[TheHater]

The Site is down now

[Vegie]

WOW! It went down pretty fast!... only 8 minutes on N4G and the site blew up! =)

[micro_invader]

Yep, damn it. It's currently down for maintenance.

[thor]

This is painful... if eurogamer had given out all the keys (and had had better servers lol) then we wouldn't have any of this. If I hadn't got in, I'd have accepted that I didn't get in. As it is, I don't know if I can get in and there's sites crashing all over the shop just because they're giving out 200 keys...

[poopsack]

it seems "how you killed your brand" is now void, and its now "how you killed your server"

[BigKev45]

I played the beta, it was meh. Decided to change my pre - order.

[strotee]

Oh, so you decided to order another copy for your neighbor? That was kind of you.

[Sony Rep]

"Bubbles: (3)
Tracked by: 0 users
Ignored by: 54 users "

[zimbo007]

i changed that to Resistance2

[jerethdagryphon]

there will be casualtys of servers

[Maxilive]

Well MM said the beta test is a server stress test. I just don't think they were talking about web serves =P

[jerethdagryphon]

well said bubbles for the laugh

the beta is to test there servers they should have warned the websites

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

OH F**K!!! ;-D The Poor site is going to get KILLED!!! ;-D

Oh er it's down already!!! -

Please excuse our dust...
GamePro Media is undergoing maintenance.

Please check back shortly!

;-D

[Drekken]

lmao its pretty cool though. Each time you hit refresh you get a new message! ahaha

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

I have never know a game to do this since i have been on the internet??? I'm still waiting for '1up.com' Keys ;) Bet that site dies to!!! :-(
Oh well not long for the Game to hit the Shops anyway;)

[mastemikegee]

u need to signed with Gamepro to get a key??

[lesk8vaincra]

yes.

[Downtown boogey]

Why do u have to sign up?

[Cyber Gamer]

hope i get the beta key looks like i didnt get 1 from gamespot

[Legend20x]

have they sent them out yet?

[CBosh4]

Not yet

[Maxilive]

Please excuse our dust...
GamePro Media is undergoing maintenance.
Please check back shortly!

hehe ^.^

[Johnny Cullen]

It would have been even a better pun if they actually used the proper sentence.

Please Pardon Our Dust.

Yeah, I am being picky XD

[Johnny Cullen]

GP IIIIIIIIIIIZ DOWN, I REPEAT, GP IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN

[BigKev45]

Decided to change my pre - order.... To Gears of War 2.

[Mc187]

A bunch of dudes wearing power siuts and playing grab ass.
enjoy your FAIL

[Equinoxe_7]

And, you really think I/We believe you?

[Equinoxe_7]

What about 1UP, when will they give beta keys away?

[micro_invader]

I'm pretty sure they already started giving theirs out sometime yesterday.

[sleewok]

I think this is hilarious. They should have been prepared. I wonder if they'll even be able to post the link to the keys with all the traffic...

[Mc187]

site down this fast = EPIC

[owninglegend]

Why didnt they do the beta like cod4.

[Cyber Gamer]

is this a first come first serv like the eurogamer

[Crazyglues]

is really starting to get ridiculous... Gamepro U Suck ...Fail

[owninglegend]

i should have registered for the site yesterday

[leyego]

i tried friday and all weekend.
something is messed with there image verification process

[Hesper]

Awesome that they require you to be registered on this page as nothing effing works on it. Sites like this should just have a first come first served thing as they obviously cant handle more then 2k ppl on the page at the same time.

[Final_Rpg]

I NEED to get into this game! It's driving me insane... ARRRGH!

[radzy]

..............
its for 10 year olds.
if your over 18 and excited , then my friend , you definately need counselling.

[owninglegend]

mc187 your a dumb idiot gears is awesome

[zimbo007]

Resistance 2 and LBP are awesome

[Dual Shock 3]

Just because your a dolphins fan.

[Mc187]

FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Oh yeah and That's MR. Mc187 to you kid.

[owninglegend]

i cant even freaken register the damn image where you gotta type the what it says is blanked out

[hairlessape]

I know I have tried to get a key from 4 different contests.

So, I wonder out of all these contests, how many people won keys from multiple places?
I'm not talking about people that tried to get multiple keys to trade, I'm just talking about people that are covering all the bases to get one and are going to possibly get 2 or 3.

In my opinion I think their beta key distribution is retarded just for this reason.
Well, that, and the fact that I haven't gotten one YET!!! ;-)

[loslonelyman]

Thanks to google translator and GAMEREACTOR, I'm in baby :-)Code came in 3 minutes ago LOL

[Equinoxe_7]

What country, for I can´t see any?

[richieb]

Still down for maintenance, soon as it's up I am rushing in there before th flood gates give way..

[loslonelyman]

GAMEREACTOR.com came through................Yee Haw, downloading now, code came in about 5 to 7 minutes ago. Check your mail if you entered.

[BlackScorpion09]

:O, I got an key from gamereactor but it doesn't work..

[AnttiApina]

:( . Well i hope i can soon. I want LBP beta!

[omni_atlas]

i can't register either oh well.

[juuken]

...Not even Gamepro can stand up against the mighty Little Big Planet. xD

[Maxilive]

I don't think any server can. I say LBP Beta on google homepage :D

[richieb]

Which gamereactor site is that?

[n4gzz]

this is bull crap. LBP could be game of the year all i care but they are treating us like herd of dogs with couple of bones hanging on ceiling which they can't reach.

[ErcsYou]

I have signed up for multiple betas and i haven't recieved sh!t. cant wait to make a LBP level. My first level will be called LBP beta, you will have to run around the level collecting website addresses and at the end all the servers crash

[ascendantofrain]

is actually very clever if you could pull that off...it would be an internet HIT i would guarantee it!

[ErcsYou]

I would love to make my ideas reality.... all i need is the right tools.. ( like the BETA version of LBP )

[GameGod63]

bagsy any spare keys that anybody may have :D pleaseeeeeeee let me get a key either off the site or off a dear fellow gamer :) I HEART LBP :D

[Ruben7227]

UPDATE 2: Still working on the problem here (we apologize for the delay!), and we hope to have the contest up and running soon. The contest is not first come, first serve, so please refrain from mashing the Refresh button--it won't help you win a beta code.
NOTE: GamePro.com is the ONLY place you can register for entry into the LittleBigPlanet beta. Registering on BlogFaction sites (incuding GamePro Arcade and GameGirl) won't register you as a GamePro.com user (due to technical limitations). If you want to win a beta code, be sure to sign up on GamePro.com only. Any registration errors will be fixed today, and you'll have plenty of time to enter today to win. Thanks again for your patience.

[ErcsYou]

"the contest is not first come, first serve, so please refrain from mashing the Refresh button"
..LoL, telling 20,000 plus hungry gamers to calm down only makes us hungrier.

[ustayclassyn4g]

lbp slowly crush the internet...wow, and still no key:( at least the game's only a month away

[sixaxis]

yeah, but what happened with ign giveawy, they said they will continue giving away keys on mondey...sooo

[n4gzz]

its over already at 11:00 AM

[Elginer]

poor gamepro it didn't stand a chance :( lol. LBP is gonna be HUGE!

[sixaxis]

yeah, are gamepro trying again today or what? most of us are home now, so they are under huge pressure right now. they probably are wishing that they would have fixed the bloody registration errors last week!!!

[BulletBtweenUrEyes]

I'm officially givng up on this "trying to get into the lbp beta" by chasing all these websites, its wearing me out. I'll just watch the rest of you guys create amazing levels, cool costumes andn watch them here or on youtube. One question(may sound dumb), I pre-ordered at gamestop to get the kratos voucher. Just wanted to know were any of you able to redeem it cuz I tried but it didn't go through. Do i have to wait til the game releases?

[Elginer]

I've been trying for a week now. It;s getting old. I think I'm just gonna wait it out till the game ships.

[GameGod63]

Update... : something seems to be happening as you get a completely blank screen if you click on the LBP beta competition link. Most likely means that they are fixing it and it will be up and running shortly.

Let the scramble begin :P Muhahahahaha XD

[DarkStalkerXII]

Gamepro is still down. Man, whats taking so long, i got things to do.

[Legend20x]

ive got stuff to do too, come on.

[DarkStalkerXII]

GP is up! nvm, it went back to maintenance

[drdre74]

damn didnt these sites learn from all the other sites about the hits they'd be getting? lol!

[Drekken]

FOR ALL THE NAYSAYERS: Whats up with the demand on this game??? It surpasses anything in beta lately - Socom, Resistance, What else? This game is huge. Sony has a bomb on their hands and it is going to explode in 21 days.

[Tidus11]

@ drekken
Don't get me wrong i think LBP will be a good selling game but i think part of the demand is how unique it is and people want to try it out to see if they like it instead of renting it maybe.

[Drekken]

Possibly... I wanted to do the same. Since I got in the Beta, this is now a first day buy for me.

[RSX]

Go apply for your keyy

[Agheil]

Gimmi one PLEASE!

[ustayclassyn4g]

anyone else keep getting errors when they try to register? how am i supposed to copy the text from the image if there's NO IMAGE GAMEPRO!?
*cries in the corner

[GameGod63]

Let it begin :D:D MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lol

[ArsArcanum]

where to apply for the key?
I dont see it anywhere

[Tidus11]

yea i don't think you can apply for the keys yet

[LinuxGuru]

I can't register, it keeps telling me that the "text entered does not match the text in the image"

That means there must be a captcha somewhere, but it's not showing up.

I have no popup blockers or adblocking software on.

[GameGod63]

now i can relax and just wait untill it allows me to apply :)
night people, get ya self a good night sleep and good luck with applying tomorrow or the following days.

[reckoner]

IT'S UP GO ENTER NOW!!!
