Music track to blame for the game missing its planned October 24 debut.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has released a statement confirming that LittleBigPlanet is to miss its planned October 24 UK release date, but is currently unable to confirm exactly when the game will now be available.
"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," explained the statement from SCEE. "We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.
"We will confirm the new launch date shortly."
Earlier today retailer Zavvi sent out an email to its customers informing the of the game's slip from October 24. The retailer's website now lists a November 14 release date.

Seems really odd that Sony have chosen to take the burden of changing the game upon themselves rather than simply saying "If it offends you, don't buy it." as others have commented elsewhere. (I'm sure Sony could word it a little more sensitively).
I have to give Sony some credit for going to such lengths to please those offended, even if as a result it offends even more people by delaying the game.
