Sony sending LBP2 beta invites this week

For keen LittleBigPlanet users only.

Sony will invite gamers into a LittleBigPlanet 2 beta this week, allowing them to play the PS3-exclusive ahead of its release "for a few weeks".

Invites will be sent to those "who've been really active in LittleBigPlanet," beta coordinator LiquidRunner wrote in the official European PlayStation forum.

"So if you have been a busy Sackboy or girl then an invite might be coming your way. This decision has now been made; unfortunately we are not able to recruit any further Beta Testers at present."

Probably best you keep an eye on your inbox, then.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is scheduled for release in the UK on 12th November.
