Over on the PlayStation forums, a developer going by the user name Sam_Protagonist has posted a bunch of info regarding a LittleBigPlanet beta test scheduled to begin this month.

“There will be a limited public beta test for LittleBigPlanet in September,” stated the post. “If it will be possible to “sign up” for this test, full information on how to do so will be made public in advance of the test. Similarly if the test is going to be conducted in an invitation-only we will let you know ahead of time.”

The same post also points out a couple of things to bear in mind when looking at a beta.

“Most important to note is that a beta should never be considered a demo of the game. Expect it to break, expect to be asked to give feedback and expect it not to work all the time,” explains the post.

Sam_Protagonist added: “In terms of LittleBigPlanet, the game itself is all but complete however we’re looking to run a test of the sharing, uploading, downloading and multiplayer server side of the game before it launches to ensure that under a large number of users it does everything it is supposed to.”
