SCEE has supplied us with the official statement on the situation regarding LittleBigPlanet…

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.

We will confirm the new launch date shortly.

We’ll keep you updated with further information as soon as we get it.

UPDATE

We’ve just been informed by SCEE that the delay to release is effective worldwide.

I'm to sad to say anything.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

=(

God damn lol

sad face...

Maybe they'll keep the Beta going longer?

Oh God Sony doesn't need this. Oh well. I want this game damnit!

hmm i guess i'm not so upset because i already have it lol.....

but what's going to happen to my copy...?

Now it is Worldwide?!!!

WTF?!!!

Makes my choice of whether or not to get Eternal Sonata real easy......

Damn it though, that's real unfortunate.

WHO THE F cares if the background music references the Quran you released a game where you had a shootout in MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL just release the darn game. How hard can it be to remove 2 songs anyway. Take em out via patch or something. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
