LittleBigBeggars bring the internets to its knees – a phenomenon is born?

If you happen to be one of the big sites planning on giving out beta keys for LittleBigPlanet this week – IGN, 1Up, Gametrailers- be afraid, be very, very afraid.

Why? Because the LittleBigHordes are coming. Read on to find out exactly what I mean.

If you happen to be one of the big sites planning on giving out beta keys for LittleBigPlanet this week – IGN, 1Up, Gametrailers- be afraid, be very, very afraid.

First, the rabid hordes brought Eurogamer.net crashing down, then 4,000+ of them suffered through an hour of Gamespot’s laughably bad weekly TV show, “On The Spot” in an effort to score a code. All the while, they assaulted gaming forums spawning 100+ page threads in a matter of mere days (NeoGAF, I’m lookin’ at you!)

This morning, Gamepro quietly let it be known that they’d be offering a few keys “in an hour or so”. Minutes later Gamepro was no more, its servers crushed by the exasperated army of LittleBigBeta code beggars hammering at their gates.

Did I mention they also totally crashed the LittleBigPlanet official US homepage for about 3 hours? Oh yeah, and they also left ELEVEN THOUSAND COMMENTS on a single beta code related post in three days.

So, you think Sony‘s got a hit on its hands? Maybe?

Oh yeah, and if you’re in the beta, please leave some comments below, we’d love to hear your thoughts 🙂
