Well, good news is, it's not going to be a long wait.

PlayStation Blog

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 apologize for any offense that this may have caused.

We will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27th. Sorry for the delay, and rest assured, we are doing everything we can to get LittleBigPlanet to you as soon as possible.

This does kind of stink. Means the servers won't be up for a little while longer.

I'm surprised they can't patch this or something. Who knows.

I wonder if this will make my copy usable or not. If I chose to put that music on a level that I make, and the new copy doesn't have that song, what kind of conflicts will that create?

Media Molecule - We wanted to patch LBP but Sony decided to recall

“We learnt yesterday that there is a lyric in one of the licensed tracks which some people may find offensive, and which slipped through the usual screening processes,” said the post.

“Obviously MM and Sony together took this very seriously. LBP should be enjoyable by all. So within 12 hours of hearing about this issue involving a lyric (in Somalian, I believe!), we prepared an automatic day 0 patch and had a new disk image ready; however a decision was made within Sony that the right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks. They assure us that they are doing everything in their power to get things straightened out as fast as possible, and will announce dates soon.”

From the way the article sounds, they will actually hunt you down and take your copy from your cold, dead hands, then replace it with the non-offensive one.

I don't get it, but if it is offensive, then so be it. I can wait a week longer. I'm still playing my way through Road to the Show.

They were cool with Assassin's Creed but Little Big Planet upsets them?
Some people already got their copies so that makes it worse.
You just KNOW this is going to lead to some...less than nice level designs.

I say fire up the beta again at least.

Same, I canceled the preorder for it. The live feeds and then Gamespot's last night just made the game look boring to me.

It's going to sell like hotcakes though, just not my cup of tea.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

I still can't wait for this title. It's going to be AMAZING! What brilliant game design. Beats the rehashes that litter the game industry today.

That is of course, until LBP2 comes out. You know it's going to happen.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

I know some of you guys say this game looks boring and stuff, but after watching my friend play it off and on over the past few days, it definitely hasn't bored him or anyone else that has played. Its just amusing to see some of the levels in the game and to see how his SackMan handles things. I've gotten quite a few laughs from watching them play
