Little Big Planet Delayed!
Although the game has technically gone gold, the highly anticipated title Little Big Planet is facing a worldwide delay non the less. The reason for the delay is because of one of the game’s songs containing references to the Qur’an in its lyrics. Sony did the sensible thing, and apologized for the mistake.
“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.”
The game was intended to release next week, on the 24th. The new release date is October 27th, however, only the American version has been confirmed for that date, and all other regions have not yet had their respective release dates updated.
