On December 18th, PlayStation 3 owners will be able to redeem a code on the PlayStation Network allowing them to download the public beta for ModNation Racers. Since its unveiling at E3 2009, ModNation Racers quickly became one of the most anticipated titles of the entire show. Mixing the Play. Create. Share. genre with the fun racing style of cart racing, United Front Games displayed a title that should bring families together and creative minds out of the woodshed much like LittleBigPlanet has.
There are a couple of ways you could have landed one of these limited beta codes. One way was to purchase a copy of the Game of the Year edition of LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation 3 while the other was to sign up on an official Sony website and pray that you were selected. However, thanks to ModNation Racers Community Manager, Russell Ramone, MNR fanatics can now get their grubby little hands on a beta code right here at PlayStation University!
That’s right — We have tons upon tons of codes to give away and we’ll be running the contest until December 17th at 11:59 PM CST. At that time, all codes will start to be emailed to the winners to enjoy when they wake up on the 18th (most will probably enjoy it after skipping work to check out Avatar though, right? Lol).
How to enter for a code is easy and takes 2-3 steps.
1. Go check out our ModNation Racers screenshot gallery and pick your favorite screenshot.
2. Link to it in your comment below.
3. Let us know why it’s your favorite screenshot or why you’re anticipating that portion of the game.
Winners will NOT be chosen at random. Winners will be chosen based upon your answers and how they appeal to us!
If you’re looking to win other free stuff here on PlayStation University, be sure to check out our User’s Choice Awards for the chance to enter and win games, DVDs and CDs!
Good luck to all!


What can I say? I like to keep it classy and luxurious, while at the same time be able to go offroading if I can. This game looks like its gonna be a bit more fun for us “gear-heads” with the ability to customize.

Not only can I make my own tracks, I can create my little buddy as well. It’s LittleBigPlanet+MarioKart+GT5, it gets no better.

This guy is one removed star away from winning a Yoda look alike contest. This can mean only one thing, Modnation Racers will be the place where Kermit the Frog and Yoda can duke it out to decide who is the best green anthropomorphic puppet.

Picked this one because I love the Idea of User Created Maps. This means endless gameplay and endless possibilities. In my opinion, games that give your the option to create your own stuff and share it online with other people are the best games. I’m really excited to be able to create my own tracks to play. I have an awesome imagination and I really want to show people. The graphics are very nice and the gameplay looks very good as well. I really can’t wait for the game. Plus, I also love the idea of customizable cars and Racers. Uniqueness is a big part of this game!

I like this one as it shows a variety of characters and vehicles and gives a feel for the extensive customisation options available in game. Love all the colours as this is one of the things that makes this game so great to look at.

I love doing stunt jumps in racing games, particulary Burnout Paradise. They give you a wonderful thrill in the process of doing one.
It was just way too hard to pick from this selection. This game looks awesome in every way. Just the fact that its basically LittleBigPlanet on wheels is enough for me. Me+Wheels=HappyDrivinCamper.

I picked this screenshot because it shows the absolutely amazing track editor in action! As a kid growing up I always dreamed of how awesome it would be for a first class kart-racing game to have a track editor.. it took awhile but it looks like my childhood dream has come true! I hope I get picked so I don’t have to wait any longer to give this a try!
Thanks PlayStation University!
