UPDATE: LittleBigPlanet coming earlier than expected?

UPDATE: LittleBigPlanet coming earlier than expected?  photo
     LittleBigPlanet

According to the latest PlayStation Underground newsletter, Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet is slated for an earlier release than expected. The newsletter indicates that LBP will be “available” on October 7th instead of its projected October 21st release date. Is this an error on Sony’s part, or has the date been pushed up?

I’m thinking this newsletter is a response to my ritualistic sacrifice of a squirrel on every Wednesday for the last two years. Initially, the idea was to appease the gods enough to make my ex-girlfriend grow a mustache, but it quickly turned towards an earlier release of LBP once I got excited about the game. Thank you Gehingkji, god of release dates, for drinking the blood of the victim and pushing up the release.

Unfortunately, this is probably a typographical error or the result of this newsletter being written before LBP’s date was set in stone. We contacted Media Molecule and Sony, so we’ll be sure to let you know when or if we get a response.

In the meantime, I’ll just keep believing that all that blood was for a reason.

[via Platform Nation -- Thanks Steve!]

[UPDATE: We have learned from a Sony rep that LittleBigPlanet is still scheduled for October 21st. This must have been a typo. Also, my squirrel slaying has failed.]

Edit:

This could be to beat the mass of releases coming at the end of October.

This may mean I will have Fifa 09 and LBP in the same week. Basically, I won't know what to do with myself, and that always ends with one outcome.

@craineum: Your right I won't have the money saved up either. Well all I am off the the blood bank to sell some of my blood.

I was all excited when I saw that in my email, I assumed it was a typo, but maybe at the same time there's something special happening on the 7th... Like a demo, or open beta? I can dream right?

7 is one 3rd of 21, LBP will come out in 3 weeks, LBP is 3 words.

They'd better not release it early because otherwise how are they going to put my level in it that I won the chance to do in their competition?
