Perhaps some day Playstation 3 owners will be able to walk around their Home and jump in to a game of LittleBigPlanet or SOCOM Confrontation. Software that Sony have been taunting us with for well over two years now. Unfortunately, LittleBigPlanet is delayed once again.

What say ye of this delay? Tis the crafting of witchery! ... Or the fact that two of the songs on the soundtrack of LittleBigPlanet include passages from the Islam holy book, the Qu'ran.

“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense that this may have caused." said Patrick Seybold, Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media at SCEA in an apologetic tone.

Alas, we must wait another week or so for a game that is long overdue.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Although I can live with a week delay. At least it's not another year.

It'll probably be more than a week, I think.

Sony said it will be a week for the US, so it will probably set everywhere else back the same time. Who knows?

The guy who composed the song was Muslim.

And only one guy was actually vocal about having a problem with it.

Doesn't matter though, the game looks pretty bad.

can't wait for this- prob my most anticipated release for the year...one week- no drama- some online stores have already shipped so some people will have it next week- towelhead song included

And apparently it's not the first time that it's happened either re: offending Muslims.
No offence,but I think that it's a pretty invalid reason in the first place ie any religion in general trying to dictate how a person should be able to play a game of all things.

Sony are Masters, ney Sith Lords in the dark arts of delay!


.....and Blizzard is their apprentice.

I was actually holding 25 copies in my hands this morning but we have to send them back to Sony, haha. I was like hmm.. they couldn't of changed them that fast.

Change one of the discs it might be worth something someday.

I'd rather keep my job thanks

BTW Sony have said the planned release date is November 7.

They were like.. ok, let's not release it the same day as Fable 2.. let's release it the same day as Gears of War 2!

/facepalm

Didn't this happen with a fighting game on X-Box or something? I have respect for all people, doesn't mean I have to respect their fairytales and dance around their delicate sensibilities.

Different game type, different system.  I don't see GoW2 taking any sales from LBP, infact, Fable II would probably be more of a threat.

Fable 2 and GoW are both different game types and different systems from LBP. Why would Fable 2 be more of a threat?

They're console sellers.

They're console sellers.

And GoW isn't? My question was gtrain said that fable 2 would be more of a threat than GoW I was wondering why.

I think he was suggesting that the crowd that enjoys the violent dark shooter games wouldn't play the happy-go-lucky cuteness of Little Big Planet.

Pretty much summed up ^_^

Speaking of Fable 2,just wondering when this gets released ?  Might get it for the kids for Xmas,although I'll probably end up playing it more than them if we do.

October 23rd.

Cool. Thanks for that.

Fable was the bomb - Fable II should be pretty awesome, so given you're a WoW fan, I'd say yes, you will enjoy it also ^_^

Yeah you'll like it Dash.

I honestly loved the first one and Lost Chapters, finished em both more than once.

EB started officially selling Fable 2 today, and GAME soon followed suit. You will definitely be able to pick it up tomorrow if you can't be bothered waiting til Thursday.

Yeah,same here.

Did you guys get the awesome bow from the evil temple?  I made an archer and picked it early on, was very fun pwnin mobs with that thing.

Could never manage it. My timing was off for the sacrifice or whatever. Got pretty much all the other legendary weapons though.

Yeah, I found a guide on the net that said it was much easier if you were good aligned, so I made the toon all nice and then sacrificed a bunch of people at the right time, got it second attempt I think.
