Europeans, rejoice! LittleBigPlanet has been delayed for the PAL territories with no reason given. Aren't you all simply delighted?
Neither a reason nor a new release date have been given, but estimates are putting the delay at up to three weeks with a November 14 release. This could change, and Sony is expected to have official word on the situation soon.
The game was scheduled to launch only a week from now on October 24. For those who were looking forward to the eagerly awaited game, this is incredibly disappointing news. Hopefully Sony has a good explanation, although I honestly can't think of one myself.

no serious
HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAA
who cares!
also, usa usa usa
I thought MediaMolecule were bases in England?
If that's the case, why is it only delayed in Europe? Unless if the EU and US soundtracks are different. In that case...
...fuck, does that mean we have to wait a few extra weeks for Takeshi to get online? Goddammit, Takeshi.
However, now it seems that SCEE is issuing a statement to confirm this? How utterly strange. I wonder what happened....problems with the bundles?
Sadistic already pointed that out.
Just kidding, I live in America!
U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A!
If that's the reason then I'm going to be so pissed, I couldn't give less of a shit about some lyrics in the game!
Does not affect me :p
TBH, I have already completed story mode and am just going back collecting all the single player items I have missed.
Then I shall be back to some heavy creating to upload when the servers go live.
P.S. F*ck the Qur'an. Actualy, to keep things none biased..... Also F*ck the bible too and all other religous brainwashing, fear mongering, Blackmailing, murdering, out dated, fantasy for the mentaly disturbed religions (THAT MEANS all RELIGION). Without religion there would be less war and violence, it is a man made tool of destruction. Anyone religous is simply a stupid c*nt.
Just so you do not think I'm a mad man.......
Sony just issued a statement on the matter:
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’ll confirm the new launch date shortly.
Why do they get so pissy? No other religion is like that...

That's a lot later than I thought it would be.
Sorry, EU, that does suck.
Seriously, because it had quotes from the Quran in it? I guess I should get all up in arms the next time Family guy cracks a Jesus joke and demand Fox pull it from the air. Oh, wait, I wouldn't do that because I'm not crazy. Do I find it offensive? yeah, but I don't punish everyone else around me because of it. I turn the damn channel.
To those who find it offensive? Don't buy the game. Seriously, keep your politically correct bullshit out of my games.
also im getting sick of that stupid "kings bounty" AD that keeps playing music automatically.gay.
That's it???? You're not going to make grounds for your claim? Don't call the kettle black if you're the pot unless you really aren't the pot (in that case expound on your comment.)
While I'm not surprised, it is a dissapointment that people have taken to actually despising and insulting Muslims as a result. Remember Islam itself isn't the problem but the way people try to control the image we have of it is problematic.
As opposed to the people who use it to spread messages of hate?! Yes the media etc don't help but come on now.
