Infinity Ward handed out codes for the Call of Duty 4 Beta earlier this week, but this was limited to just US players who signed up for it on CharlieOscarDelta. The registration has now closed and a few thousand gamers got their hands on the elusive codes.
However, if you aren't patient enough to wait for another round of prize draws, then there are a few ways to get onto the Beta.
An affiliate of ours wanted us to plug this kick ass content, so here ya go Stephanie! =]
As the title states, the grand prize is a trip for two to Las Vegas. The trip includes airfare, hotel accommodations, and a trip to the spa to relax after a long day of gambling. Three runner ups will receive a copy of the World Series of Poker: Battle for the Bracelets game.

We’re finally announcing our new title and labor of love, Rat Race. You’ll read more about this in the game press soon, but I wanted to tell you about it here first.
Rat Race is a PS3-exclusive comedy/adventure game – yeah, another one of those! – that will be available as individual episodes on PSN beginning this winter.

Here we have a new walk-through of LittleBigPlanet, showing the lovable emotions of a dino “Sackboy”, how you can give your creations away as prizes, and the game’s community aspect.
LittleBigPlanet is charming. The ability to create your own physics based levels and share them among the Playstation community is an exciting prospect.
In this following Gamespot video you can see the world map where you can share your levels with the Playstation Community. The ease of finding other’s levels and the ability to narrow the world map so you can share your creations with particular locations is pretty sweet.

More LittleBigPlanet footage is to come tomorrow, hopefully showing off the... More »
