Even as far back as last year when it was penciled in for Autumn 07. As I'm not on the beta I've been consoling myself with the fact that I'll get a greater sense of joy come release day when I first put it in. Obviously that's a lie and I can't wait for a crack at the beta if they do open it up (makes sense). I’m sure they always planned to have a demo out before launch.

Sack boy has become an icon, thats true, but he's an icon of needlessly long, over hyped novelty games... so i guess he really does symbolize the ps3's life so far.

"Sony Plans To Turn Closed LBP Beta Into Open Demo" [ http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/3861.html ] --- Everyone is going absolutely nuts over the LittleBigPlanet beta, as multiple gaming sites all over the Internet are giving away thousands of access codes. But you may not have to get lucky if you wish to play the game before its October 21 release date... According to reliable inside information delivered by a reader, it seems Sony plans to open up the beta testing during the final week to give everyone a shot at it. Essentially, they produce the closed beta to generate hype and interest, and then open it up to the public in the form of a playable demo a week before the game launches. The tipster in question posted the following in the Blu-Ray{dot}com forums- "If you don't get in, don't worry. They are supposed to be opening up the public beta for the final week. Last I heard they were still planning on doing so, this closed beta is just there to generate a bit (a lot) of hype for the game before it releases. Basically they are talking about turning the limited time closed beta into a demo for the week before launch. It is easier to do this than to release a demo." This info evidently comes straight from SCEE, and if that's true, there's no denying its validity. The concept makes perfect sense to us, too, so we're going to say we're about 95% certain this rumor will be proven correct very soon. For now, we have to say its unconfirmed, but we're definitely leaning towards "truth" rather than bogus. Thanks to our loyal reader for letting us in on the details; we agreed to keep this quiet for a while to keep the beta hype high, but now that hype is un-killable. So we figure it's safe to tell ya about this now. --- BFN, fp. Take this information as speculation/rumour until officially confirmed,but…
