little big planet delayed, everyone sad

Everyone loves a cute game, and thus everyone is very disappointed that the release of LittleBigPlanet for PS3 has been pushed back; unofficial reports are saying November 14th. The game had to be reworked a bit when, apparently, some dude on a forum posted that he found a couple of references to the Muslim Qu'ran in some of the songs included with the game and respectfully requested that they be removed. I'm having trouble imagining exactly how these Qu'ran "references" or phrases made it into the game in the first place. Is it just coincidence in some weird game language (I often hear what sounds like real English in Simlish conversations)? Very strange. Anyway, conveniently this delay also bumps the game's release closer to Christmas and guarantees crazier demand when it does come out.

I was soooo bummed when Gamestop called me about the delay, but it looks like they finally got my copy of the game in today. If you reserved a copy from Gamestop you should call them and ask, it looks like alot of the stores will be getting the game in today (Oct. 25).

PS. Thanks for droppin by our blog, we hope you dont mind us posting your "Bar Mitzvah" video from youtube...its pretty funny and catchy!
