USA TODAY Giving 15K LBP Beta Keys

[National Kato]

Seems everyone but me has a Little Big Planet Beta key. Even USA TODAY. (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2008-10-06-little-big-planet_N.htm)

By simply sending them an email using the link in the Flash ad at the top of the column, you could possibly get a key to experience LBP before its release.

Looks like the column went up this morning...I hope my email wasn't sent too late!

[Sandman]

E-mail sent...lets see if I get lucky this time.

Updated 2h 18m agoI'm guessing they're out of keys by now, though...

[diablopath]

Bah.
Can somebody post the email?
I don't have an email client, all mine are web based.

I've read some comments saying it takes about 45 min to an hour to get a response. I'll let you all know how it goes.

[Gorvi]

I got mine a bit ago. So much fun! :)

[National Kato]

Did you get it from USA TODAY, Gorvi? If so, that bodes well for us all.

[Gorvi]

Yep, I did. I got the email about 2 hours ago I think, it only took about half an hour. And checking my email now, it seems they sent me another. o.O

Umm.... this could be fun. :)

First person to tell me what level my Red Mage is in FFXI gets the code. Yeah, I'm cruel. ;)

[Kagger]

Thanks for the heads up!

[National Kato]

Let me get this straight, Gorvi: you put up more of an obstacle than USA TODAY for a key? :D

I re-sent the email in the hopes that I'll get an extra key. If so, I'll let someone have it for nothing.

[Kagger]

Yep, I did. I got the email about 2 hours ago I think, it only took about half an hour. And checking my email now, it seems they sent me another. o.O

Let's go with level 1?

[n3rdXcore]

Let's go with level 1?

How about level 2?

[National Kato]

Or Level 3?

[Blue]

Yep, I did. I got the email about 2 hours ago I think, it only took about half an hour. And checking my email now, it seems they sent me another. o.O

Between 1 and 75. I'll take my spoils now...

[AgtFox]

Sent mine in 3.5 hours ago...nothing yet.

[Sandman]

I'm going to go with 30.

[n3rdXcore]

I'm going to go with 30.

How about 31? ;)

[Wraith]

Can we use the Jason Fox Method (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/wraithakamrak/ft031003.gif)?For x As Integer = 1 to 75
MsgBox("Is it level " & x.ToString & "?")

I'm probably way late on this, but it's worth a shot.

I'm going with lvl 8!

[National Kato]

Results seem to be all over the place. Gorvi sends in an email 2.5 hours ago and gets his key 30 min. later. AgtFox sent an email 3.5 hours ago and has nothing.

Worth a try.

Lvl 68 - send code!!

I just figured I'd have some fun with it. :) Here's a hint: I've posted it recently somewhere. That might be making it too easy......

[National Kato]

Level 52....send it!

[diablopath]

Yep, I did. I got the email about 2 hours ago I think, it only took about half an hour. And checking my email now, it seems they sent me another. o.O

I just remember you saying he's in the 50s :/
Edit: Damn you Kato!
This will not be soon forgotten!

[Gorvi]

Level 52....send it!
Winner! Sending PM now. :) Just be sure to give yours away if you get one yourself. :)

[National Kato]

Of course I will. If I get two keys for the two emails I sent, I'll be offering them in this thread.

:D

[Purple Santa]

I think I saw the flash ad and closed it...:(

[Sandman]

Aw....I got an e-mail but it was MLB telling me to order LCS tickets at stubhub.

[Blue]

Winner! Sending PM now. :) Just be sure to give yours away if you get one yourself. :)

I'd like to point out that I guessed it correctly first. Level 52 falls correctly "Between 1 and 75". I've been had.

[AgtFox]

I spoke too soon...Sackboy just e-mailed me with a code. YAY! It says the beta ends Sunday at 4pm ET.

[Victorvonviolence]

They're out of codes.

I want to punch sackboy in his sackface.

sadface...

[diablopath]

/cry tears of sadness

[crazyD]

Heh, suckers. I got mine.

[diablopath]

Hahaha!
I just got one!

Downloading now.
I'll be toying with this all night.

[Gorvi]

Ok, after trying to get into the beta for a week straight and having no success, I now have a third beta key from USA Today. What the hell?

Anyway, anyone want it? I'll make this one easy:

1) What is your name?
2) What is your quest?
3) What is the air speed velocity of a fully laden swallow?

[Sandman]

1) What is your name? Sandman
2) What is your quest? Go to sleep and you'll see.
3) What is the air speed velocity of a fully laden swallow? 66 mph

[Gorvi]

1) What is your name? Sandman
2) What is your quest? Go to sleep and you'll see.
3) What is the air speed velocity of a fully laden swallow? 66 mph
Not a Monty Python fan I take it? ;)

Ah, well, good enough, I'll PM ya the code. :)

[DiBiddilyBop]

Unfortunately, I got a fat nothing from them. I still have my fingers crossed since I haven't received an email saying I *wasn't* getting a code, but after over four hours, I have my doubts.

[National Kato]

Wow, Gorvi, you got a bunch of 'em! So far, I'm having a blast but finding myself stickering up everywhere instead of finishing the levels.

[astranoir]

Aww. I miss out on everything.

[DiBiddilyBop]

WHY IS EVERYONE ON MY FRIEND'S LIST PLAYING LBP???

fuck all you guys...

[GrenMag]

I sent an e-mail at 10:15am PDT, got a code at 12:30pm. Only messed around with it for 20 minutes or so, but it's definitely got something going for it. I say they should ditch what they're doing for Home and put the functionality in here.

[Wraith]

I got bupkis.

[rinichanraar]

Goddamnit, I missed it by six hours. I'm terrible at the internet.

[BLeeP]

Blah, this is the third or fourth time I've tried for a key and ended up with nothing. It's as if Mm black flagged my email and told all outlets to not let me in the beta 8-(.

[diablopath]

If it makes you guys feel any better, it totally sucks.

[DiBiddilyBop]

If it makes you guys feel any better, it totally sucks.

And judging by the timestamps in this thread, my email went out only 20 mins after yours.

Don't feel bad.

I forgot to mention, I got mine from a friend who is too busy this weekend to really enjoy it, so he took my soul as a fair trade.

I didn't get anything from the two emails I sent out.

Quick "review": Besides all the fucking tutorials, I'm really enjoying it.
Controls are kind of awkward, but I'll get used to it. There are a few things I have not yet seen, and really hope I eventually do, but only time will tell.
