"That’s right. This September, most likely near the 1st week, LittleBigPlanet will definitely have the beta launch ready for fans eagerly awaiting the wondrous dreaming spectacle of the infinitely large world that makes it up.
Alex Evans, Co-Founder, Media Molecule: We’re ready for it, and this game just has to get out October. Mark (Healey) is having a boy soon and this bad boy has to be done before then.
WhatIfGaming: So, no delay…nothing? Solid for October 2008 on Blu-ray disc only?
AE: Yes. There will be no delay and it will be ready then.
WhatIfGaming: So the beta will take place September?
AE: You got it. Absolutely.
WhatIfGaming: So is it for underground members only or will there be a site for selection or something?
AE: It will be a public beta, but limited at the same time. We will disclose that info when we’re ready.
We would like to thank Alex Evans for taking the time to speak with us about LittleBigPlanet."
