Sony confirm LBP delay due to references to the Qu’ran

Sony has now confirmed that LittleBigPlanet will not make its October 24th date, and will be delayed by three weeks until November 14. They have released a statement which confirms our earlier reports that the delay had a connection to references to the Qu’ran within the game.

“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 Qu’ran,” remarks 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,” it concludes.
