Okay, we all (painfully) know that because of a music track that contained two lines from the Qur'an, Sony had to recall LittleBigPlanet and delay its release in the U.S. from October 21 to next week, October 27. Not too much of an inconvenience if it avoids potentially offending a great deal of people around the world, but where, you may wonder, does this leave Europe? According to a report from PS3Fanboy, you'll have to wait even longer -- Sony has officially stated that the game should be released no later than November 3.
LittleBigPlanet "will start to appear in stores no later than the week commencing Monday 3rd November in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand, on a country by country basis," says Sony's official line on the subject. "We appreciate all the enthusiasm surrounding this much anticipated title and we would like to thank PlayStation fans for their support and understanding."
Note that the exact wording of the statement suggests LittleBigPlanet could show up in any of those regions sometime before November 3, so keep your fingers crossed and hope your country pops up first in this figurative raffle. Otherwise, just sit tight and be reassured that no matter what, in no more than two weeks, you'll be able to join in on the Game 3.0 fun as well.
