Short emergency update from a friend’s computer: LittleBigPlanet’s release has been delayed, with Sony issuing a full recall of shipped units, because a music track in the game features references to the Qur’an.
“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,” Sony said in a short statement.
“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.”
There is no word yet on when the new release will be, but some are guessing at November 14th.
