LittleBigPlanet Open Beta Probably Never Happening

Remember the promised beta of LittleBigPlanet we were expecting sometime last year, which would give us something to keep busy with while LBP was finished up? And then, when the game was delayed, we presumed the beta was simply delayed right along with it?
Well it ain’t happenin’.
At this week’s PlayStation Day, PS3 Fanboy got some hands-on time with the game and also got to speak with two of the developers. When asked about the beta, both community development manager Sam Bennett and producer Pete Smith revealed that an open, public beta probably isn’t going to happen. Testing will instead be done internally at Sony, although some lucky gamers and members of the press might find themselves participating in the beta. Nothing’s set in stone, so don’t go getting all green with envy just yet.
There is still hope that you’ll get a chance to play the game before it’s officially released. A demo is certainly a possibility, although the what and when are still up in the air.
Killzone 2, Home, LBP… the delays are killing me, Sony.

"Remember the promised beta of LittleBigPlanet"
No I don't. In fact, I don't remember anything spoken by sony that contains the word "promise"
All you gaming sites say, "Sony promised, Sony promised" But where? they never say that, they always say "the plan is" so stop axing them over the head for shit they never said, don't get me wrong, I'm as upset about the delays as the next guy. But all I ever hear from whining forum punks is "sony broke promises"
If you don't the difference between and plan and a promise then you shouldn't be posting on the internet, let alone thinking for yourself.

EDIT: IF you don't know the difference between a plan and a promise.
Jeez, where's my coffee.
