SCEE has just confirmed that LittleBigPlanet has slipped because ?the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur?an? in one of the licensed background tracks, but has not supplied a new release date.

LBP to ship in North America in the week of October 27th

According to the US Playstation Blog, Sony will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27th. The game was delayed after gamers found that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur?an. Media Molecule have revealed that they "prepared an automatic day 0 patch and had a new disk image ready; however a decision was made within Sony that the right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks."

So... what's the big deal here? A little quote from the Qur'an? Whoop dee-f-ing-doo.

I don't see people freaking out whenever someone mentions God in a country song. (Not that I hate country music.)

Wow. Just wow.

Because Muslums see it as disrespect. The words are to be spoken with respect, not sung in a song.

If a recording company unknowingly released a cd which contained lyrics saying f-this and f-that about God, you'd expect them to recall and replace it, right?

I understand, but if it was an accident, they immediately patch it on the release day, and issue a public apology, that should have been more than enough? If not these more hardcore religions need to mellow down a bit.

I think if a patch was to be an easier solution, bu logic it would have been the first course of action rather than delay the game plus its a week. Not really a big deal if you think about it. If you think about it. IT'S A GAME. Let not lose perspective on that. It's a game and I would hate to think that we would rather offend a group of people so that we can play a game. Also I think they were more thinking of what kind of a backlash this "mistake" would have caused. I mean let's face it, a certain small group of muslims gets offended, they take's "revenge" on a whole different level. I think media molecule being in England did not want to take the chance and find out.
