LBP Delayed

[sharkbait2]

LittleBigPlanet, one of this year's most-anticipated PlayStation 3 releases, won't be arriving in stores next week as expected.

 

The "social platforming" game is already gathering rave reviews, but it hasn't proven popular with one Muslim group, which issued a complaint to the game's publisher Sony concerning one background music track. Performed by award-winning Malian musician Toumani Diabate, the song quotes two verses from the Qur'an. Many Muslims consider the mixing of music and scripture to be deeply offensive.

 

Although the game is already pressed, packaged, and reportedly sitting in the back rooms of many worldwide retailers awaiting its original Oct. 21 debut, gamers eager to get hold of it will have to wait at least another week while the offending content is expunged. Updated versions of the game are expected to be shipped to stores during the week of October 27.

 

"Sorry for the delay, and rest assured, we are doing everything we can to get LittleBigPlanet to you as soon as possible," commented Patrick Seybold, Sony's US director of Corporate Communications, in a statement on the company's PlayStation blog.

 

 

Well... it happens to every game that looks good

Too bad about 10 of my friends already have it. The game store around here gets games about 1-2 weeks in advance (almost all of the time). They got LBP earlier in the week and have been playing it. The online servers aren't up yet, though

x2 word.

[Nikastylez]

It reminds me of Lemmings or something ;D lol

[CDBS14]

why are muslims so offended by this, does it really matter, is the world gona end because a game has 2 sentences from the Qu'ran

[Xx-CHURCHY-xX]

When the sentences are these:

 

1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').

 

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').

 

 

Then what do you think will happen? That's not something that's very light and can be overlooked.. plus, most of the time, they try to keep religion out of video games. Religion is too controversial and shouldn't really have any part in games

k now i get it. but this could be attributed to human error, the guy that did the sound heard a good melody and put it on the game without even knowing what it says. its like some people listen to hispanic music and not know what they say and like it, just to find out it was a really perverted song. happened to my friend he was walking around the school cursing in spanish, lol

[GeneralWar]

LOL ur friend is cool, I used 2 do the same thing but I knew wat I was doin

[CDBS14]

LOL ur friend is cool, I used 2 do the same thing but I knew wat I was doin
