The public Beta version of LittleBigPlanet was a huge success, with people going mad to find a download code all over the internet. Servers crashed, popular sites were brought down to their knees and free keys were sold on eBay.

While gamers were very happy creating their LittleBigPlanet levels, I found out something disturbing. LittleBigPlanet’s Beta levels were doomed to oblivion. Anyone who spent as many hours as I did building stuff, was very disappointed.

Today the PlayStation Blog announced even more beta keys, but that’s not all. There’s a new Beta of LittleBigPlanet. This version does not require a DNS redirect and levels created here will be available for consumers at launch of the full title. So, Media Molecule listened to my request and made a new Beta.

If you have previously redeemed a LBP voucher code, you must delete any old LBP data (along with save data and game data) and download this version (go to Download History and redownload the new code).

Are you ready to kiss your levels goodbye and start again, knowing this time you can keep everything forever?
