LittleBigPlanet - Image 1


Yesterday, people who've pre-ordered a copy of LittleBigPlanet at Zaavi in UK got some rather upsetting news. Apparently, the High Street retailer sent out emails to their customers, saying that the game was pushed back. Aww, snap... this for real?

You might think it's just a delay for Zaavi customers, but as MCV UK reports, it's going to be for the whole of Europe. MCV contacted Sony about this, and they said they would be issuing a formal statement later today about LBP's delay.

Sony hasn't given any date for when the release was pushed back to, but MCV believes the game won't come out for Europe until November 14. We'll have to wait 'til later though, when Sony gives their formal announcement to everyone.

*Update* Sony's statement has been released. It can be found here. The delay has now been confirmed globally, and not just for Europe.

gamesindustry has more news about it.
It seems like there will be a wolrdwide delaye for LBP

"During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur'an," admitted the company in a statement.

I'm still waiting for the punchline. Who the F cares if it contains that?
