Little big planet delayed

[ApheX]

I'm in a dark place due to this, i (as were a lot of people) was really looking forward to this game, but it turns out they have delayed it due to discovering two words in the games sound track that appears in the koran. now there having to delay the launch date till they remove it. is it me or is this a little OTT.

Wait...why is it delayed?

there are 2 sentances in a background song for one of the levels which are from the qu'arn.
Islam find it offencive to have phrase from that book in a form of media. The song was released along time ago btw
So Sony have recalled the games and are making new copies without the sentances.
Media  Molecules have already created a patch for the song which would be required for people to download and this would get rid of the sentances
But Sony want to remove it from the discs.

Therefore it is being released a week later

Just need to find a way to get the game early as im in UK so its like another 2 weeks for me

I thinks its OTT too. it all started with a muslim who posted on the playstation forums saying that they had heard the song and wanted a patch to be made seeing as though it offends everyone more than delaying the game *cough cough*

I just don't get it, i bet if there were a song that had a few words from the bible say, hardly no one would be offended. I respect other people views, but this is just stupid.

remember the catholic church issue from resistance?
they never removed that but becuase its islam they remove 2 sentances which you will only hear for about 1 second in the entire game

Exactly, now people in the US have to wait a week for the new version, Who knows how long that will be for the UK and Europe, Lameness!!!!!!

ive heard 31st Oct, 4th November or the 14 November.
I'm trying to find an American copy or an English copy which hasnt been recalled. I think quite aa lot of copies have already been sent out so if your lucky you might be able to get one early.
They will also make good collectors items

Your not wrong, i'll have to keep an eye out on ebay, you know it's going to turn up there in big letters saying "Little Big Planet" the version sony didn't want you to have!

my friends muslim and he has the game early and he said you cannot hear it and he siad it does not bother me.

muslim people think they own everthing just cos you cannot say black in public anymore lol

*true*

[ApheX]

it's just a  waste of time if you ask me.

[robin1989]

thats f'ed up i hate compnys who think they need to do somthing like this just to jmake one group of extremist views or religion happy - if it offends them so much and they can hear it turn the volume down or mute it - or just patch it in an update

Whitetop I find that very offensive, even though im not a hardcore muslim, it wasnt just 2 words, they were two phrases from the koran,
Kollo man alaiha fan
Kollo Nafsin tha'iqatol mawt.

Now my question is, how did they not realize this was in the song when they put  it in the game?

Im not offended by it im just surprised they didnt patch it.

Guys, you can drop the religion arguments and stuff.
I'm 99% sure it's against the rules to talk about religion and stuff, for the very reason you see here. You guys ended up offending another member.

well this thread should be deleted or lock as the problem is due to it in little big planet.


i cannot be offending anyone as its what a muslim friend said.

[robin1989]

it hasnt got to out of hand but keep it civilised people i will keep a close eye on the topic.

Now my question is, how did they not realize this was in the song when they put  it in the game?

they may of chosen the music like i did for my media project or like some films do. just listen to it and if it sound good or has the right beet put it in. i do admit that it was stupid not to go back and listen to the lyrics afterwards but i also think its stupid that they when and recalled it all when its for a console that is so easily updated so could of been patched easily, which would of lowered there costs greatly as they would of just had to pay a few programmers overtime to get a patch ready fast instead of running a recall and delaying the release etc etc

[whitetop]

they did make a patch but sony did not want it just incase it did not work right so they have recalled them back

[budgray19]

yes the 27th of oct is the release of it now

[aZiZ1]

Whitetop u didnt say that ur muslim friend said the second part. Even if hes muslim hes a F ignorant jackass. He isnt a muslim he is just another person who claims they are because of their parents. What bothered me of what u said was this.

too right, thats why it is now ..


"muslims think they own everything", even if this was an attempt at humor, can be misinterpreted badly


the idea is: its delayed because of that song
thats it..

[Reaper]

Final note, I don't see why it was delayed because according to the First Amendment they have the right to put whatever song in the game they want as long as it's not copy written...
