For those of you anxiously waiting for the release of LittleBigPlanet - a game that may force me to buy a Playstation 3 - you’ll be highly disappointed to know that the game has been delayed for an unspecified period of time.

The delay is due to two references to the Qu’ran which were discovered in a piece of licensed background music. Not wanting to cause any offense to religious groups (especially since the two references aren’t exactly the friendliest of quotes) Sony has recalled their entire shipments of the game so they can remove the offending material. You may wonder why they can’t just remove it in a patch, but you have to realise that not everyone connects their PS3 to the Internet so this problem will affect those people.

The game was originally due to hit stores on 24th October, but Sony said that a new date will be announced shortly. Retailers are speculating that the new date will be 14th November, but the date may be earlier than that yet.

UPDATE: There’s still no concrete release date but Sony are saying it will be ‘no later’ than the week of November 3rd.
