LittleBigPlanet will ship in US “in week of” October 27, says SCEA

SCEA has posted an update on the US PS Blog on the issue of a US release date of LittleBigPlanet, saying the game will ship to retail in the week commencing October 27.

The note comes after confirmation that all units currently at retail are to be recalled globally after it was found that one of the game’s background tracks contained some text from the Qur’an.

“We will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27th,” said Patrick Seybold, SCEA comms boss.

“Sorry for the delay, and rest assured, we are doing everything we can to get LittleBigPlanet to you as soon as possible.”

We’re still waiting on a European date.

Thanks, Psychotext.
