LittleBigPlanet Delayed

Sackboy pushed back.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK
UK, October 17, 2008 - The release of LittleBigPlanet, one of the most anticipated games to hit the PlayStation 3 this year, has been delayed globally and will now no longer hit shelves on October 24.

Though no official reason has been given for the delay it's been widely speculated that one of the in-game songs quoted heavily from the Qur'an, and could have potentially upset Muslim players. Sony has yet to confirm a new release date, though it's expected to be not much later than the initial date of October 24, with a November 14 release looking likely.

We currently await confirmation and a statement from Sony, and will report back when it arrives.

UPDATE: Sony has confirmed the reasons for the delay, and that it is going to affect all regions, though it has yet to commit to a new release date - the full statement follows.

Well atleast they delayed it for a good reason.

Last time some people protested a game, which dissed some other relgion and they lost tons of money having to "remake" a certain mission in the game.
