The Sixth Axis is reporting that LittleBigPlanet’s release may have been delayed from its release date, and Sony hasn’t issued a new date yet. The site speculates in updates:
Update 1: could be as late as Mid-November. Still no reasons, but rumours abound of a recall…
Update 2: could be a recall, apparently there’s a song on the soundtrack that ‘could be offensive to people with certain religious beliefs‘.
Update 3: we’re now being told by readers in mainland Europe that the game is being recalled from certain retailers. Again, this isn’t confirmed yet.
Update 4: right, we’re not posting more about this, but we’ve just seen this, and we don’t think it’s right to speculate further. We’re told that SCEE will issue a statement shortly, and we think it’s best that the issue is dealt with via a proper press release.
We’ll let you know when anyone knows what’s up.
[UPDATE: LittleBigPlanet is now due for a October 27 release date, sez Sony.]

I find it amusing that any kind a reference to the Qur’an even if it’s good requires an immediate recall so Muslims are not offended, yet games can blaspheme Jesus, the Holy Bible and fornicate with demons and that’s alright
