With the Resistance 2 public BETA now in full swing, we wanted to make you aware of a few important dates for those in North America.

• The open application process will close today at 4 p.m. PDT. If you haven't applied yet, head to http://beta.myresistance.net/apply.

• Today is not your last chance! Much like with the LittleBigPlanet BETA, USA Today will be distributing (hundreds of) codes on their site beginning next Tuesday.

• The download servers will shut down on Wednesday, October 29 at 5 p.m. PDT. What's that mean exactly? You won't be able to download the beta after this date.

• We'll be shutting down the BETA servers on Thursday, October 30 at 11:59 p.m PDT. After that, you'll need a retail copy of R2 to continue playing this first-person shooter.

241w ago - That's right, USA Today ran a first come, first serve LittleBigPlanet BETA code giveaway. Sony have given them 15,000 key codes that will give people access to the trial.

USA Today stated that to enter, you will need to email littlebigplanet@usatoday.com with the subject title "LittleBigPlanet Beta".

As with most LBP key promotions, the keys were snarfed up quickly by eager LBP fans. In any case, props to Transient for keeping us updated on this news HERE.

For those who didn't get a key yet, good luck on the next LBP run! (although they claim this is the last)
