Little Big Planet video game release delayed in Europe

little big planet video game
Sony's PlayStation 3 LittleBigPlanet video game's world release has been delayed.

A problem with the soundtrack (references to the Qu'ran) have caused the delay.

With the increasing use of licensed music in video games this problem hasn't come to light until the game was released for review. One of the music tracks used in the game contains two references to the Qu'ran that may cause offense.

The game has been shipped to retailers and will have to be recalled. The original launch date of October 24 will now become November 14th (estimate).

Sony have put a lot of money behind the game launch with PS3 bundles and maximum publicity.
