Based on reader reports, as well as my own voicemail, it appears as though LittleBigPlanet will be landing on GameStop’s shelves this Saturday. Recently, Media Molecule stated that the title could be hitting stores as early as October 27. We’re not ready to confirm that other retailers are getting the game tomorrow as well, but chances are they will.
By now the majority of you already know what happened with LBP. As a quick recap, Sony recalled LBP from stores after being notified that offensive lyrics were present in a song in the game. After a bit of scurrying, Media Molecule edited out the song and announced a tentative release date for North America and a tentative November 3 release date for Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
In addition to recalling and fixing the song on the disc, Media Molecule released two patches for the game in Europe. The first of which added new costumes and enhanced some of the network aspects of the game. The second patch edited out the lyrics to the offensive song, but left the instrumental portion in the game.
