LittleBigPlanet beta already under way

Media Molecule co-founder David Smith has told Eurogamer that LittleBigPlanet is already being beta tested and he hopes to include you lot soon.

"A beta trial is really important for us to make a game like this. We already have trials in progress! It should gradually grow to include more people," Smith said.

"The beta is starting off in a very controlled way, but will hopefully open up to lots more people. We aren't at a stage yet to know what direction we need to go with this. Personally, I'd love the beta to have as many people as possible, but we need to wait and see."

LittleBigPlanet is a charming toolset that will let you design your own games within a game, essentially. It will ship with plenty of pre-made adventures for you and up to three chums.

LittleBigPlanet is due out in October exclusively on PlayStation 3.
