LittleBigPlanet delayed a week worldwide

Pre-order Little Big Planet for PS3SCEA and SCEE have announced a worldwide delay for their PS3 platformer/level editor LittleBigPlanet. The new release date in America has been moved from October 21 to 27. The European release date will meet with a longer than one-week delay from October 24 to November 7.

Here’s Sony’s official statement: “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. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.”

Basically Sony are recalling all copies of LittleBigPlanet that were already sent out to stores to replace them.

Another newsflash just in! Look up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…
