Perhaps the most anticipated game ever, LittleBigPlanet is going to be delayed some period of time because one of the songs contains passages from the Koran. Awful, awful news. I got to participate in the beta, and I and all of the reviews thus far can tell you that this game is going to be a huge deal. Sony is likely crapping their pants, to put it in the classiest way I can. This Kotaku post explains the situation the best from what I've read.
What can you do? Apparently, Muslims find singing the words of the Koran offensive, if I understand this correctly. Once Sony finds this out, they can't realistically just release the game and promise a patch, because anyone who isn't connected to the internet never receives that patch. I guess this is the only option this far down the road to release... They have to just re-manufacture all of the game discs with this minute change. Ugh...
