Gamers will soon have the chance to play a beta version of Sony's kid-friendly blockbuster game LittleBigPlanet on their PlayStation Vita handheld gaming console.

Beta testers will get an exclusive early look at Sackboy's all-new portable adventure and the opportunity to provide feedback about the overall gaming experience, Sony announced Wednesday on its PlayStation Blog. Sony did not mention when exactly the beta version would be available, only noting that it is coming "very soon."

"We're hoping to get a ton of feedback on the overall experience from the folks who know LBP best — and that means you!" according to the post. Sony promised more information soon, and said in the meantime, players should "dust off your finest analytical hat, and prepare to dive into Sackboy's latest escapade!"

Interested gamers can register for a chance to participate as a beta tester for the upcoming game by visiting Sony's sign-up page. Those who register will have to tell Sony whether they have played LittleBigPlanet before, which version they have played, and whether they own a PS Vita. Not everyone who signs up to be a beta tester will be chosen to participate, Sony said.

Meanwhile, Sony also this week announced that a "crystal white" version of the PS Vita is set to be released in Japan on June 28. The new white model will sell for the same price as the black version, and comes in Wi-Fi only or 3G/Wi-Fi iterations. There is no word yet, however, as to whether the white model will make its way to the U.S.
