Looks like the LBP release has run into some major trouble and is likely to be delayed till mid-November.

Over on neogaf the official thread is going crazy. From what I've read there is a song on the soundtrack that might be offensive to Muslims and as a result Sony have had to postpone the launch. People with pre-orders are getting e-mails informing them of this and people who have reviewed the game have been asked to return their copies of the game.

Another reason why religion sucks. At least I have PES to keep me busy.

Yep, seriously.

"During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention 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," admitted the company in a statement.

"We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused."

A full worldwide recall seems a bit much but that is what is happening. I wouldn't want to be the person responsible for this major ****-up. I mean this is supposed to be the new Playstation mascot. Idiots.
