As a participant, you are expected to have a vast and up-to-date knowledge of LBP1, and to use that knowledge to highlight areas which the dev team need to work on.
Not all PS+ subscribers meet these criteria, hence why the most actvie LBP users were targetted.
Again, this is a beta trial, not a demo.

I get that, but one of the key points advertised for Playstation Plus was the access we'd get to betas. I understand where you're coming from but it's still not fair. Why not offer the demo to both? LBP players and PS+ subscribers?
I have unlocked 100% of the items, and have aced every single level on LBP, and I still play it on a weekly basis, and I'm a PS+ subscriber, yet I get no invite? Just doesn't seem fair to me.

i don't beleive this, i am being punished for not playing the game enough. how is that fair? i have had LBP since it came out and have been constantly playing it.
. i bought a years subscription of PS+ solely to get into betas like these, i don't understand the problem its a first party sony game.
do you think that psn plus subscribers are mentally retarded and not able to give feedback? why don't you just make the it so you have to have the LBP disc in to play it like the MAG beta?
this is completely unfair and makes my high respect for Media Molecule decrese because they are not thinking about they're fans at all, you should at least be in the beta if you bought LBP.

Yeah it's pretty bad. It's the same as the whole Capcom thing with RE5 and Move. I pre-order Move for day one, I bought RE5 collectors edition on day one, and all the DLC, yet I need to buy the gold edition to use Move? This one is totally out of Sony's hands but it seems I'm just being screwed out of anything related to Playstation that I'm interested in.

so what your saying is that the beta part of plus is a con because if thats the case then plus subscribers could be deemed as not meeting the criteria of every beta test that Sony does. Maybe you should address the plus team and ask them to take the beta part of the plus service out of the advertisement and t&C's.
to be frank saying plus subscribers dont meet the crit eria is abit of a cop out really and is flaud. because Mm are asuming that the people they have sent invites out too will meet the criteria even though a majority of them may not. You are assuming that a majority of ps plus subscribers will not meet theiacriter, which you can not possibly know for certain it unless you actually offer it the plus subscribers.
All in all all i see here and on the ps blog is alot of back peddling and people covering there own backs. quite frankly its disgusting and more importantly i hope someone senior who has the power to make desicision is realising just how much this is fragmenting the playstation comunity.
edit: also i wasent aware that ps plus descriptions said that beta trials would not be offered in the service. so the arguement that it's a beta trail and not a demo is flaud.

i would be cancelling my pre-order not because of no entry to the beta but because i would no longer want to support a studio or developer that doesnt seem to know what its doing when it comes to being just and fair.
great for you if you get in the beta and i hope you enjoy it, however i do think your over welming support of this descision by SCEE and Mm make it seem that your kind of missing the point and being a little bit niave in the fact that you cant see where us paying customers are coming from.
As for this forum it's an open discussion and i will freely continue to post my thoughts and concerns in here regardless of what you say because if people at SCEE and Mm really do read these comments and forum posts then hopefully they will take on board the feedback and realise their error in self creating a backlash in the comunity.

I have been playing the heck out of LBP, in fact I was up till after 12:30 am last night playing. I was in the first Beta, and I am hoping to get into this one too. I have had LBP2 pre-ordered since Late April.
